First Post
Hello Fellow Geeks, A friend and I were playing a brain teaser game to jump start engines for a rpg campaign I am running. And came across a pretty exciting debate. We created a Fantasy Draft of Actors to fullfill the rolls of the core classes of DND 3.5 or Pathfinder; ex: Rogue, Cleric, Bard, etc....
Now after going back and forth with pick #1 all the way to the end which was me. Obviously our opinions were biased on our picks, so we humbly ask the community to help us out. My name is Mike and my friend is Erick. Here are our lists:

Erick's List:
Bard: Gérard Depardieu (1492: Conquest)
Barbarian: Ron Pearlman (Hellboy)
Cleric: Peter Mensah (Spartacus: Anameas)
Druid: Natalia Worner (Pillars of the Earth, Ellen)
Fighter: Russel Crowe ( Gladiator: Maximus)
Ranger: Vin Diesel ( Chronicles of Riddick)
Monk: Donnie Yen (Ip Man)
Paladin: Kevin McKid (Rome: Lucious Vorenous)
Sorceror: Vincent Cassel (Black Swan and Ocean's 12)
Wizard: Gary Oldman (Book of ELy, Bram Stocker, i mean common)
Rogue: Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: Lizabeth Salander)


Mike's List:
Bard: Kevin Spacey (K-Pax, 21, etc...)
Barbarian: Dwane Johnson (The rock)
Cleric: Michael Caine (Batman: Alfred)
Druid: Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, Avatar)
Fighter: Gerard Butler (300 Leonidas)
Ranger: Jean Reno ( The Professional)
Monk: Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak)
Paladin: Liam Neeson (Taken, Voice of Aslan, Kingdom of Heaven)
Sorcerer: Michael Sheen ( Underworld: Lucious, Tron: Zeus)
Wizard: Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, LoTR: Elrond)
Rogue: Johnny Depp (Pirates, etc..)

Honorable Mentions include (Because we forgot and were human)
Morgan Freeman as Cleric, Rober Downey Junior as Bard

The purpose of this game is to choose which of these actors would portray their roles better, not a who is the biggest budget actor competition. We tried to use sense and reason to pick these roles and who would make more believable to audiences. We let the community decide.

PS

If you have suggestions please feel free to comment if you believe you have found a better role than we did, altho we tried to stay away from the typical hard cast actor/roles (Ex: Ian Mckellen as a Wizard or Vigo Mortesen as a Ranger)
