Kevin's Watch

He does make a pretty Nick, don't he?

I nominate Kevin Spacey for Milos Taverner. He would have to play like that little creep that he played in "Seven," with a little bit of the abject pathetic character from American Beauty. He just looks like the perfect candidate to "smile like a pedarist who just found himself in charge of a boy's reform school"

That description applied to Godsen Frik, didn't it?

(I always thought it was a really disturbing simile, too)

Yes, and so did I.

I was watching that film "Airheads" a week or so ago & thought Joe Mantegna could be a convincing Angus.

Hey guys, new to the boards here. I started reading this topic and had a compulsive need to respond. I've read good suggestions for just about every character but Angus, although Ron Pearlman and Oliver Platt(well looks wise for Platt) come close. I've always seen Angus as a powerful slab of fat and muscle, closest actor I can think of would be Micheal Marsden (most recently Buddy in Kill Bill). Or maybe Mickey Rourke if he could play a more layered version Marv (Sin City). For Morn, how about Maggie Gylenhal. The emotional range of her character in The Secretary is about the same as what Morn would need to display.

No! Bad person! *whack*

She doesn't need any more encouragement in her misguided notion that Holloway could even pass for Nick.

I'm not sure about her acting abilities - but I just can't picture her as morn. Morn was gorgeous according to everybody, even Nick who was 'never beaten' didn't hesitate to admit how attractive he found her. I just don't think she physically has what it takes.

I'm tellin' ya... Jack Black needs to play Angus... I can see him in my mind, talking to Morn, it's fracking hilarious... And he can do evil, so he's perfect! Did I mention the sexiness factor?

And if I can't have Jack Black, then David Hewlett... I'm pretty sure the Stargate Atlantis crew can let him go for a while... He could be abducted by the Wraith or something... And also there is the sexiness factor there too...

The problem I have with Jack Black has more to do with his previous roles than it does with his potential to play a character like Thermopyle.

Although I can see what you're getting at with the way he looks, I just wouldn't be able to take him seriously as a cold-hearted prick. He's already set in my mind as a comical jackass - I think that stigma would ruin the credibility of 'Angus' on screen. Unless I'm the only one who feels this way.

The reason I 1st stated Oliver Platt as being good for the role is because aside from being a spitting image of what Donaldson describes Angus as looking like (bloated and toad like) - he also has a certain look of sadness on his face that I think would be THE icing on the cake when it comes to how Angus needs to be played. As malicious as he is at times, he's gotta look sad at the same time.

That's just my take on it.

I think you're falling down on a vital factor here. Angus cannot be sexy. (The same could be said of Jack Black, but that's a different discussion)

Yeah, I'd go with the Ron Jeremy thing for Angus

ScepSaint, join the "Josh for Nick" club! You are (with that statement) immediately a member!

Josh IS Nick! All he needs is the scars - cos he sure has the 'tude down pat (just ask Sawyer!)

Motherlode - Morn was gorgeous... at the start, by the 3rd book she had the haggard worried look that Maggie Gylahnhal can do in her sleep. A little make up and a flattering hairstyle can go a long way. I don't think Morn's looks was the main reason Nick wanted her anyway, more she that she was UMCP, belonged to Angus, and "rescueing" her would be a huge boost for his reputation. Besides how many gorgeous "plain" women has there been in Hollywood? 'Bout time the tables turned

Christopher Walken as Davies Hyland? Or maybe something bigger? I dunno, he is a good actor.

you do mean Davies Hyland Senior, right Springy?

Well, I'll play my Angus card now. (I was gonna wait till I had the whole thing cast ... but that'll never happen.)


Geoffry Rush
Look into this guys eyes. He has more unconscionable bastard just looking at you with those eyes than any other actor can muster up in a week of screen-time. Toad-like: check. Needs a little make up - no prob. (And I don't pick actors cuz they've been popular recently - don't even suggest it!)

altho i love geoffrey...he's too old for Angus at this point, i think.

Can too... you have to remember, my version of sexy in men is waaaaaaay off when compared to most people's...

Eh. Shouldn't have said that.
