actor suggestions for movie

[Warmark]

Am I the only one who pictured the Haruchai as black men?

Nope, i always have as well.

Bana, if his range is great enough would be perfect for Cov IMO

I always pictured them as stocky latinos or American Indians

[jacob Raver, sinTempter]

How 'bout a more gaunt Robert The Bruce as Cov?

My First Chronicles cast -- most of these have probably been suggested already...

Covenant - Eric Bana
Foamfollower - Mickey Rourke
Mhoram - Viggo Mortensen
Bannor - Mekhi Phifer
Elena - Natalie Portman
Foul - Jeremy Irons
Old Lena - Julie Christie
Prothall - Pete O'Toole
Hile Troy - Carlos Bernard

What description is given of the Hruchai? I've always envisioned that 5 ft tall would quite tall for a Haruchai, is that a misconception I've had? Seems people often suggest some pretty tall guys for Haruchai (I understand forced projection would likely be needed to make a Covenant movie, as with the Lord of the Rings' Hobbits, but, most of the actors playing hobbits were indeed not tall men themselves.

I don't ever recall them being described as small in stature. Did I miss something?

[jacob Raver, sinTempter]

I don't think they were that short...more 5' 6" ish.

Haruchai are described as being of similar size and build to Stonedowners.

Stonedowners are described as being short ("shorter than he [Covenant] was"), Trell being an exception.

So, yes. We're not talking dwarves, but just generally shorter. If there's any truth to the notion that Asian men are somewhat shorter than men in the US, on average, then I would say Haruchai shortness is on that order of magnitude.

Thanks Wayfriend, it seems I'm not crazy, just a little exaggerated.
