This has become my headcanon Honor now :D
So, who would make good Hamish? Or the Dastardly duo? Or Scotty & Chief?
I nominate Hugh Laurie for Mac


Hugh Laurie's done a similar role in Jeeves & Wooster.

seeing as he played Wooster - nope, he didn't. Stephen Fry was the inestimable original supercapable gentleman's gentleman.

Well for Victor, (and I may take some flak for this) but Matt Damon would not be too bad in this role.

Anton hmm if you could find a short wrestler (or weight lifter) who could act

Hamish, How about Liam Neeson, or George Clooney? (probably out of the price range but...)

Scotty and harkness maybe The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) or Vin Diesel as Harkness, and I can't think of anyone for Scotty

Maybe ones a fan and would be willing to do it on the cheap. after all, samuel l jackson apparently charged less than normal for his role as nick fury because he was such a big fan.

I just saw the new Batman movie which featured Anne Hathaway as Cat Burglar who becomes Batman's ally and squeeze. She was great in the fight scenes. Smoking hot too.

Bruce Campbell from Burn Notice is still my favorite Harkness. Ryan Cartwright from Alphas as Scotty. If you saw him transform from brilliant Mr. Nigel Murray in Bones to Gary in Alphas you wouldn't believe it was the same kid.

Florence Welch looks just like my mental image of Shannon Foraker.

Hi all,

Eric Flint is working on a possible TV series, I started thread in the Assiti Shards Forum for those who may wish to make suggestions for the 1632verse movie.

@dscott8 I like her face for Shannon too.

Emo, your budget just went out the window. And let us have good actors, not a bunch of action figures.Vin Diesel, indeed. Feh!

As do I (and she's a good actress)...but I can't imagine casting anyone but Evanna Lynch (Luna in the Harry Potter movies) in that role. Evy's got that "detached and spacey, but with very deep waters beneath" thing down perfectly.
