An interesting thread was posted a little while ago, asking the people of Enworld to cast actors as their favorite core D&D characters.
Few things will bring me out of "Lurker Mode" but this was one of them, and although I didn't post to that thread, I was sad to see it disappear. So, in respect to that thread, I present this one.
Being a huge fan of the Salvatore books, I would love to know who you all think could fill the shoes of the diverse characters crafted in those series.
I'm talking everyone, Drizzt, Cadderly, Jarlaxle (my FAVORITE), Pikel, Ivan, Bruenor, Wulfgar, Regis.
Even the lesser characters that escape me now, but perhaps had an impact on you when you read them.
I'm sure this is old hat, and lacks any originality on my part, but I still wanna hear em'
As for me, here are a few of my choices:
Drizzt: For some reason, Jet Li ALWAYS appealed to me for this role. He's short, elven looking, and i always figured Drizzt would have an accent. Only problem is Jet's acting skills. I doubt he could put enough emotion or believability behind the serious dialogue.
Catti-Brie: Milla Jovovich I think could pull this off. Get her straight hair all red and curly, and I think she would be a great addition to the cast. And, her performance in The messenger leads me to believe she could play ANY character EVER created.
Wulfgar: Someone mentioned it in the last thread, and I really think it would work for Wulfgar. The big Germanic guy from Gladiator. Grow his hair, give him a big freakin hammer, and presto, Wulfgar is born. Don't know if he can act though.
Danica (The Cleric Quintet): Ziyi Zhang (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Man, she is HOT and can kick ass. But again, problem is acting.
Jarlaxle: Man, someone help me out here. I thought drizzt was the coolest character in the series untill I read Servant of the Shard. I now realize that Jarlaxle is the coolest character ever, and can think of no person in this world that could do him justice.
Let's hear some of yours, I'll post more if this thread gets going...
