Craig? Never. Hugh Laurie perhaps.[/quote]

And would that make Emma Thompson Emily Alexander?

Y'know... that's not a bad choice.

Of course, when I first read it, I was picturing Emma Watson. Not a good choice at all. :oops:

Seconded. But Emma T. is probably 20+ years older than Craig. But do we really need to futz around with accents...

I would suggest either Saffron Burrows (6' and with the looks I tend to associate with Honor), or Moon Bloodgood (5'10"). Both have good acting chops as well with playing strong female characters. I think either could pull off the role.

Alternately, Tricia Helfer.

My vote is Olivia Munn for Honor. She is a very clever and attractive actress who is half Chinese.

Beautiful lady but she does not look remotely tall enough or wide shouldered enough. :-) Finding someone to play Honor that looks halfway believable will be a challenge.

Not going to be very easy to find any actress who would meet Honor's physical description.

Find someone under 30 of European, east Asian, or mixed ancestry who isn't short and can pull off good command presence. Don't worry too much beyond that.

With the camera tricks they have shown in Captain America and the Lord of the Rings they could make her 20' tall.
