We've been talking about ideas for the cast is someone ever happens to make a movie based on our Age of Worms campaign, :) so here's what we've come up with. Any suggestions are welcome! Obviously, you don't really know our PCs, but you could base your ideas on the actors already mentioned, or you could make suggestions for NPCs.
Hugh "the Man" Mann, CN neutral human fighter. A greataxe-wielding buttkicking brute.
Russel, LN dwarf monk, a Cha 6 grappler. Not too happy with this one, since it's a bit much of a LoR rip-off.
Jumbo Picante, NG gnome cleric of Garl. Played by the resident Loony of the group.
Shimrod the Clever, N human loremaster. Modelled on Vance's weaselly characters, played by YT.
Nathaniel Howk, LN human knight. The knight in shining armour.
Sigmar the Red, LN half-orc scout. Brad Garret has the appropriate appearance, but comes off as a bit too benevolent, perhaps.
Rennida Auriga, the leader of Arcane Auriga, the team of elven archers in the arena fights.
Krinasa Auriga, Rennida's daughter.
How about the names of the people you're casting in these roles, guys?
Danny Devito as the Ominous Fabler.
Dolph Lundgren as Auric.
Sean Connery as Manzorian.
Liam Neeson as Tenser/Manzorian
Michelle Pfeifer (Spelling?) as Lashonna
or Nicole Kidman...
Robin Williams as the Ominous Fabler
Damn it, Rakshaka, I like your choices better than my own! :)
Nicole Kidman as Lashonna, I like that one.
Tommy Lee Jones (with long hair) as Prince Zeech.
Steve Buscemi as Filge.
John McGinley as Manzorian
Naomi Campbell as Celeste
Kate Beckinsale as Lashonna
Ralph Fiennes as Zeech
Robbie Coltrane as Allustan
Clint Eastwood as Theldrick. Beat that one.
How about:
Kevin Spacey as The Faceless One
Gary Sinese as Darl Quethos
Kevin Pollack as Allustan
James Spader as Allustan's brother (whose name, I am ashamed to say, I forget)
Michael Chiklis as Balabar Smenk (though he needs a good wig...)
and, saving the best for last:
As Kyuss--Jack Nicholson
Are you referring to Eligos? Although they were both pupils of Manzorian, I don't know that they were siblings.....
Those are good choices - I especially like Gary Sinese.
Jack is right on as well, although I am afraid we'll only see his performances in "visions" at the Spire of Long Shadows, other than supplying his voice talent to his CG'd god form.
I did a lot of thinking like this during the Champion's Games. So, on the casting couch is:
Charlton Heston as Loris Raknian
Christian Bale as Captain Okoral
Ed Asner as Bozal Zahol
Ellen Degeneres as Celeste
Cillian Murphy as Forwell Hog
Heston! Ha! I can just see the dramatic sililoquey with him dawdling over Lahaka's corpse...
Bela Lugosi as Moreto (I know he's not alive, but neither was Moreto, technically)
Vincent d'Onofrio as Krathanos the Shackled Conqueror
Jessica Biel as Lashonna
Alan Rickman as Khellek

Clint Eastwood, Gary Sinise and Christan Bale are all great suggestions - but the best has got to be Nicole Kidman as Lashonna. She's totally convincing as a vampire.
How 'bout Michael Jackson as the Ominous Fabler - after his transformation, the OF has small body parts falling off and needs to wear a disguise to conceal his facial features. Couple that with that voice - not pretty...
Michael Jackson is the Faceless One.
Hahhahaha! Some good choices. I was going to have to say I love the idea of Casper Van Dien as your LN Knight (Starship Troopers is one of my favorite movies). And I cheered for Lauren Graham as an elf (Totally hawt), but then was dissappointed at your choice for her daughter. That's way too cliché. She already plays her daughter on Gilmore Girls. I'm actually kind of sick of that combination. Unfortunately... My mind just went blank on who would be good instead. I think I need some sleep. I'll come back later.
Heston and Bale are also great choices.
The King of Pop taking on the role of the Faceless One; their road to feature-lessness is so similar its scary. I want to make a Michael Jackson/D&D joke, oh do I ever, but I will refrain from what others might perceive as tasteless and/or offensive.
Are you referring to Eligos? Although they were both pupils of Manzorian, I don't know that they were siblings.....
Lanod Neff, governer-mayor of Diamond Lake, is Allustan's brother.
Rather than Eastwood for Theldrick, I think Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) would be a better choice, given Eastwood's age. Of course, you'd have to give Holloway some grey in his hair to give him that "seasoned veteran" look.
Chuck Heston could've been Raknian in the 70's, but he's in his 80's by now. Rutger Hauer would be better, I think (though he's probably a bit too old himself, he looks more like Raknian, IMO).
Clint Eastwood as Theldrick. Beat that one.
I actually saw a kinda "Gene Hackman" for Theldrick, myself, but no denying Clint would play a tough cleric.
As Kyuss--Jack Nicholson
That would be so awesome.
Johnny Depp as Zeech.
Sharon Stone as Lashonna.
Rutger Hauer is great for Loris Raknian.
Sigourney Weaver as Mahuudril's human form.
Natalie Portman as Tirra.
Sigourney Weaver as Mahuudril's human form.
Yes! Thank you! That's who I was looking for! Right on with that one.
But one more...regarding Gazzilfek the Ominous Fabler, I see either Billy Crystal or Danny DeVito. If nothing else, the personality/comediac charm seems well-suited for Zeech's fool. His "twist" later on would be all the more horrifying as a result of the casting.
