More importantly, he's too short (5'10 1/2") Merlin is over 6" which is why I thought Benedict Cumberbatch who it is seems is only 2" taller (6' 1/2") would be a better fit, not to mention that his physique reminds me much more of Merlin.


Meh, Tom Cruises short ass actually pulled off playing Lestat in Interview, and there was like an 8 inch difference in their supposed heights.

True but he could play King Harraald and increase on camera death scenes lead even further

Yup, fairytale princess that kicks zombie butt! The young lady has a wide breadth of talent.

Also seconding Lily James as Irys (a fairytale princess if ever there was one). As for the rest, sadly, I haven't a clue (yet).

Milana Vayntrub (Verizon ads) would be a dynomite Irys!
Tilda Swinton (11/5/1960)is 55 1/2 years old! She might make a good Melissa Mailley on the Safehold series but noway for Sharley.

EdThomas, you're right about Tilda Swinton, although in her prime she'd have been perfect. Gonna have to do some more research on casting Sharleyan

I always picture Zhaspahr Clyntahn as Maury Chaykin a great actor Some of the fits he threw as Nero Wolf remind me a bit of Clyntahn on a good day but sure he could do the full on fury of Clyntahn.

one minor problem there:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maury_Chaykin
Wikipedia
Maury Alan Chaykin (July 27, 1949 – July 27, 2010...)


A bit of a downer there, as he was ten days younger than me.

Answers! I got lots of answers!

Well this caught my interest and honestly it kept bugging me about two days so I decided to see, who could play which role.

and came up with this cast:

Merlin:
Christian Bale

Cayleb Ahrmak:
Dave Franco

Sharleyan Tayt:
Jewel Staite

Zhasphar Clyntahn:
Colm Feore, Michal Ironside

Maikel Staynar:
Ed Harris, Jeremy Irons

Domynyk Staynar:
Viggo Mortensen (he and Ed Harris actually look alike)

Irys Daykyn:
Chloe Bennet

Nimue Alban:
Lexa Doig

Haarald Ahrmak:
John Travolta

Nahrman Baytz:
James Spader

IMO All these actors either fit in the role or could provide very interesting performance. Feel free to agree with me. :D
