I think Karen Gillian who played Amy on Dr Who would make a good Captain Honor Harrington. She is only 5'11" tall but she has a lot of other things going for her.

I was watching TYRANT and had a thought about the actress who plays Jamal's wife.

While watching TYRANT, it occurred to me that Moron Atias has the exotic look, the acting skill, and the cammand presence to credibly portray Honor Harrington.

She technically is Asain although from the opposite end of the continent that Weber imagines and she is of Morocan Jewish ancestry. She looks exotic and a bit of cosmetic artistry could enhance this.

I kept trying to post this as a new topic on the Honorverse forum and dent realize that Duckk had transferred it here.

I know a lot of you think that who ever plays Honor should be Asian but think. Harrington is a British name, the only feature in the books that would be Asian are her eyes. Honor is a genie, she would get most of her features from this and her father. This being said I think most of us are looking in the wrong way on who should play her. I think somebody like Karen Gillian would make a good Honor. She is 5'11" tall, has a commanding voice when needed, her eyes are the right shape, and she can do the physical parts that are needed. She is young so she could keep playing the part as other movies are done. She played in the BBC series Doctor Who and she was in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie as the blue villain. Her or somebody like her would make a fine Honor, like I said Honor dose not have to be played by somebody Asian.

Technically, Honor is "Eurasian" which is a fairly distinct phenotype. Karen is a beautiful actress, but she's more the Ginger Lewis type than an Honor Harrington.

If your going to freak out by my mentioning that some actress looks good naked, then ban me.

Most of Weber's fans seem to be a bunch of fucktards, especially the Europeans, and it has been years since Weber has written anything worth reading anyways.

WTF Duckk? The last from nameless does not even mention female anatomoy:

Unless you mistook exotic for erotic if so time for the brain-bleach :D
