Recently I was wondering what the human forms of my crew would look like. Would Megatron look like David Kaye, or perhaps Michael Dorn? Then that got me to thinking. What actors and actresses could play our characters in a live action movie? Who would be able to capture our essence, both in voice and in looks? For some, casting would be easy. for others, it may be a bit more difficult. So, I finally decided to ask all of you who you would want to be played by in a movie, and who you think should play some of the other NPC characters, like Starscream and PrettySparrow.

Not only would this be a fun idea to play with, it would also be of benefit in the text adventures. My crew is easy, but what should Roadbuster sound like? JW%? If they were in human form, what would they look like? Casting ourselves would be a great way to answer those kinds of questions. In fact, since most of us are robots, that might be a good way of looking at the casting options: if you were stuck in a pretender shell or humanoid body for an entire film, who could play you?

Here is a list of some of the active characters that would be up for casting. Feel free to add more characters to the cast list, and feel free to make suggestions for other characters besides your own, especially if someone doesn't know who would be good for their part. Most of all, have fun with it!

((All right, I'll admit it, this is just a creative way of asking for help on figuring out what my guys would look like in their human bodies. But this really did seem like a good idea to me and I really do want to know how everyone else sees themselves.))

(Grand Moff) Daniel the Saint:
The "now" stage of his life: Sylvester McCoy, circa 1980s or Paul McDermott from the Aussie Show Good News Week (yes yes yes I know you've never heard of either of these blokes).
the "Professor" stage of his life: Brian Blessed.

We've actually done this before, long long time ago... really long ago. First RLD post long ago.

Some how I think I ended up with Will Smith. No idea at all how I got that. Mind you, he could probably pull it off. He's got a good range to him and can definetly do comedy without going over the top in pratfalls. But it'd be like Michael Clark Duncan as KingPin or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Nailed the character, hard to see anyone who could do better, just doesn't quite match the physical build the original writers envisioned.

PrettySparrow would have to be a child actress, and probably pretty young at that(she's supposed to look eight or nine). I don't know any child actors or actresses, so can't help you there.

Also of note: David Kaye and Michael Dorn look nothing alike. At least not to me.

The Rod is not really a sidekick either. He's a poster here. He just hasn't added to the text stories.

Oh, also, if you're refering to Dreadnoughts daughter, it's spelled Juggernought. An intentional misspelling to avoid mistaking her for Juggernaut.

Will Smith? Nowhere close to what I was thinking. Given JaggedWing's personality and such, I was thinking Johnny Depp would play you very well, or possibly Gary Oldman.

As for David Kaye Vs Michael Dorn, no, they don't look anything alike. However, I can see a human Megatron looking either way. Big strong black guy, or tall and powerful white guy. The advantage of David Kaye is that he is Megs original voice, so he'd sound just right. However, there's somthing just so Megatrony about Michael Dorn.

Daniel, is Paul McDermott more recent, or older? That is, is he from a show from way back, or a more modern show? If more modern maybe we'll go with him.

As for The Rod, I know he's a user. I've seen plenty of his posts and I think i've interacted with him a couple of times as well (given that we're talking about The Rod, that just sounds wrong). But you said it yourself: he hasn't joined in on the adventures. He pretty much has been played out like a sidekick or something. Then again, Juggernought isn't really Dread's sidekick either. That was, more than anything, a lable for the supporting/NPC characters, with the actual PCs as the Heroes. One could argue where everyone is placed in that list. Heck, in due time, I'll be able to argue that Starscream should go in the hero section. But for now, the NPCs go in sidekicks, unless they're villains or I just simply have to make a 4th category for people who don't fall into any of the other categories.

Really Really good question....


Unfortunaitly, I dont look like many celebs...


I'd take a whack and say Nikki Blondski from Hairspray...but I can't see her doing anything remotely Scifi ish...

Oh I dunno, BMS, your persona is an attractive woman who wears a bonni hat, any woman can fit the lkooks, but who do you think could pull off the voice and the essence of your character?

Oh, Juggernoughts' spelling is "wrong" cause it's similar to her fathers and thusly indicates relation not just too differentiate her from Juggernaut.

Ok on to the listing.

Dreadnought: Hard call really, the actor has to be able to bring a commanding presence and come off as powerful and wise as well as be goofy if needs be. I see Dread being Wesley Snipes or Peter Mensah. Either of those could do his voice but I think the best voice for him would be James Earl Jones in his Prime, that's really how I imagine Dreads voice, deep, commanding and fatherly.

Juggernought: Another tough one hard to find the mix of youth, athletic talent and acting ability that needs to go into this girl. I would take either Kristen Prout orSummer Glau. Either able to do her voice.

Pin Point was easy I knew her actress the moment I saw her. Rekha Sharma. No one else will do.

Onslaught I'm not too sure, I wanna say Vin Diesel cause he's just plain bad ass and can pull off Scifi, hardcore and the gravely voice I always picture Onslaught as having.

I suppose I could go with Johnny Depp. I didn't used to care for him much, but between Pirates of the Carribean and Sweeny Todd, it works. I'd really rather not go to extreme into the wackiness, though a scene of Jack Sparrow "walking between the raindrops" during the ship to ship fight fits JaggedWing pretty well. Plus the character is something Depp probably wouldn't mind(the edge of creepy that's embraced so fully as to no longer seem creepy except by comparison). Still, not sure about it.

Does anyone think that Johnny Depp could have pulled off Tony Stark as good as Robert Downey Jr? Mind you, I don't think Robert Downey Jr fits the profile either...

Gary Oldman is even worse. I really haven't seen enough of him to test his range, but from what I've seen I don't see it fitting much at all.

***

I don't think "Just anyone" would fit BMS honestly. She's got to be able to pull of plain, and even miserable looking as well as attractive, given the rough knocks BMS seems to put herself through(she drools, she kicks people, should I list all the faults?). Makeup and FX can only do so much(and heck if I had my way the characters would be 100% FX) so the actress would have to manage these imperfections.

***

Or we can just admit that Dreadnought can't spell, and it infects everyone he talks to eventually, and move on.

Peter Mensah... I definetly see that working for Dreadnought.

I don't see(hear?) Dreadnought as having James Earl Jones. Something deep and resonate like that, but with more atheletism to it and spirit behind it. Even in his prime James Earl Jones sounded old. And that's only for "mask on" moments really. Peter Mensah has a pretty good voice of his own really, it'd just need to be replaced or heavily modulated when Dread isn't in "Ambassador Mode".

For Onslaught, would Dwayne Johnson work? Just a thought.

***

How about Roadbuster?? I'm drawing a blank on it, though you'd want some one big and imposing.


***

For Children of SoundWave...

Lazorbeak would probably be Halle Berry, if only because of her role in Swordfish, which matched the Children of SoundWave character wise. Lazorbeaks pretendershell is actually supposed to be latino however.

BuzzSaw... I looked this up because Daniel mentioned it, but Jewel Staite(Kaylee from Firefly/Serenity) does fit pretty well. Again, BuzzSaw in Pretendershell is meant to be asian.

Okay I'm going to give up on this one. Don't know enough celebrities to do a casting call of known names, and honestly there are plenty of unknowns who are deserving of more credit.

Ironically enough, Johnny Depp was always my top choice for 'Virus' in any kind of live-action film based in my story-verse.

But apparently I'm not really considered part of the list, so I won't steal him from JW%.

McDermott is hosting Good News Week now, so I'll go for him.

I can see Virus being played by Johnny Depp more than I can see Depp playing JaggedWing. It would be on practically the other side of the spectrum however.

Oddly I can also see Jim Carrey playing Virus too. Not sure why that popped into my mind.

eh... Jim *could*, yes. Certainly the goofy side is on that end of the extreme. The serious side less so.

Depp can go from completely disjointed humor to dead-serious and have it all work, which was the reason I pegged him for Vi.

I finally have some ideas for my crew, although they are fairly big names. I don't know if we want to use such big actors for what are technically my sidekicks. However, my crew has been fairly prominent and at least a couple of them would be deserving of good size names.

For Starscream, oddly enough I was actually thinking Robert Downey Jr. I think he could really pull off both the dark and tortured soul of The Legend Starscream, as well as the evil and manipulating ghost. I'm not sure if he could get his voice high enough though. I know one would normally think someone like Crispin Glover would be a more logical choice for Screamer, but for some reason I kind of wanted him to be surprisingly attractive for the ladies. You'd think he would be repulsive, but you're shocked to discover he's really quite handsome sort of thing.

For Rhinox, I was really liking the idea of him being Armand Assante. Watch him play Odysseus and tell me I'm wrong on this one. A good look, a good build, a great voice, and a great acting range. He'd give off exactly the right vibe for Rhinox: warm, caring, commanding, intelligent, and ass kicking. Could anyone else pull him off that well?

For Dinobot, Gerard Butler. His accent is pretty think, but he'd otherwise be excellent for the role. Can't you hear Dinobot shouting "This is Sparta!" or "Tonight, we dine, in hell!" Dark, brooding, noble, honor bound, and one hell of a warrior. Heck, Dinobot IS Leonidas.

Rattrap IS Steve Buscemi. No one else would be as perfect as him. Period.

I'm having difficulty casting Blackarachnia. The two best options i can think of are Angelina Jolie and Rosario Dawson. Does anyone else like these ideas, or would they be over casting?

I'm completely stumped on Silverbolt, Inferno, Ironhide and Blackout. Carey Elwis in his prime would be a great Silverbolt, but I don't know if he could pull it off anymore. Does anyone else have thoughts?

**********

BMS wouldn't be that difficult. Simply because she has flaws doesn't mean no one in Hollywood can pull her off. Are Hollywood women truly that perfect? Some can look pretty crappy if you make them up right.

Ooh, I've got an idea: Janeane Garofalo! She could definitely pull of all of the flaws, but she could also be sexy too. she was actually kind of hot in Mystery Men. What do you think, BMS?

**********

Roadbuster big, powerful, imposing. Michael Clark Duncan? The man is huge (6' 4") and has a great boom to his voice. I cast him as Megatron many years ago, but decided his voice just wasn't quite right for Megs. for Roadbuster though...

Boy, if Roady was MCD, Megs was Michael Dorn, Dread was Peter Mensah or any of his other ideas, and JW% was Will Smith, this would be one big black cast. The funny thing about this being that I'm willing to bet most of us are white guys in real life. But for our characters, lets face it, white guys just don't have what it takes to play this big, powerful, commanding characters. They almost HAVE to be black.

Speaking of Roady, where the hell are ya, buddy? You haven't posted on the stories since you wrote the one ending, and you haven't been here yet. What's up? You're one of our best and most critical posters, man! We need you!

**********

I've never really seen JaggedWing as a comedic character. I've always seen him as sort of the straight man to balance out the random nature of the rest of us. Then again, he is not without his comedic moment,s but they are usually subtle, and delivered in a suave manor. That's why I thought Johnny would be good. I've seen him in a lot if stuff and I definitely think he could pull it off. However, it is your Character JW%, and he should be played by someone you think can truly bring him to life.

As for Gary Oldman, he has a MASSIVE acting range. Air Force One, Lost in Space, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Batman Begins, and the Harry Potter films. All of his characters are completely different and brilliantly performed. He's probably too old for the role though.

**********

Ah, so Peter Mensah was the messenger at the beginning of 300. Yeah, I like him as Dread. Great voice, great look. Wesley Snipes I always love, but Peter I think would have the better voice for the role. Should I make it official?

**********

Virus, you can be on the cast list. I based mine on who was active and prominent in the text stories as of late. It's not too late to be added by any means. What list should you be in though? I don't know your character well enough.

Oh don't worry about it. I'm more or less an 'associate' of the FnorDoM.

I'm also 'Cyrex' (never got that account-name cleared, so I can't post under that name here, ironically enough), who is a member of FnorDoM itself.

And listed on the Field Guide to oldies as Cyrex. The Virus sprite is somewhat lackluster in comparison(though has made an appearance in the RLD sprite comic, desiring homicide because of the concept that a peaceful solution could be reached rather than a violent one. It was pretty much a direct quote from the post). Could have sworn you'd gotten that cleared, posted once, and never again. Ah well.

***

I always figured that Rhinox could be played by Michael Clark Duncan. One of the defining features of him is that he feels big. Rhinox is actually not big, even when matched again his contemporaries, but he conveys the sensation of being massive. I never really figured Armand Assante for being able to manage that. He's got all the right vibe like you say, but he's not really the bulldozer Rhinox is supposed to be.

Contrary wise, Roadbuster, while in character larger than Rhinox by quite a bit, has always been defined a bit more by being the one that lugs the heavy equipment around rather than by being large. Hard headed perhaps, the kind of Die Hard action hero rather than a prowrestler. I can't quite put a good face on him though, so I guess your comments are as valid as mine.

Oh, and I disagree with your suggestions for Blackarachnia. Rattrap and Dinobot I agree with however.

***

My point was more along the lines that most actresses wouldn't WANT to play that character.

***

Which is why I said that Will Smith doesn't have quite the look for JaggedWing. They really don't have to be any race, given that our characters arn't human and any would qualify. The main reason Will Smith was picked was that he was what had been choosen previously. And, with the new movie Hancock coming out, I suspect he's going to get another role that suits JaggedWing's personality.

Really, when you look at it, the main problem is that neither JaggedWing or BMS fit in traditional hero archetypes.

JaggedWing isn't the biggest, strongest or most powerful. He's not really even the smartest. He has all of these advantages of course, and in the right company he can take on one of those roles, but given either a group where everyone outmatches him in these catagories, or when working alone, he tries to be something no one else is. He tries to be perfect. Not only in motion(meaning almost no physical humor, he'd duck the cream pie rather than have it hit him at all) but also in words. That means he unfortunately is going to have the fast talking patter of a conman(and the charisma of a successful conman at that). Which typically means that while the role the character fills is that of a straightman, most actors who could match the kind of character would have to be comedians. Frustrating.

JaggedWing also can't always talk his way out of a situation. So he would have to be physical enough to at least look like he can keep up with his costars. Take a moment to look at the co-stars. That narrows it down still further.

Yes, I know, Johnny Depp is looking better and better for the role. And I don't actively object to him either. He fits as well as Will Smith. In many ways better. I'm also thinking of a martial artist, but I can't remember his name OR the title of the movie I saw him in. Also JaggedWing is no more asian than he is black. JaggedWing is meant to be almost british(heavily americanized). Um... Clive Owen maybe? No... probably not.

That said, not a one of them quite came close to what I'm looking for. His role as Dracula probably the closest(I'd forgotten he'd done that one). None of the others you listed really seemed approriate, and I particularly did not care for how he did Doctor Smith in Lost in Space. And yes, possibly to old. As with James Earl Jones it's not really the actual age of the Actor that matters(we're picking actors who in some cases have already retired or died, since this is just for referance) but what age they act at. And Gary Oldman I don't recall ever doing a young action hero.

It's late and I'm rambling. Should have been typing on one of the three active fictions(Myths and Marvels, The Challenge, or Cybertron Sidestory) I've got going instead of this.

Oh, and for referance, was Cybertron Sidestory meant to be open for anyone to join or not? Keeping in mind of course that it would require a brand new character to set the scene, and Everyone Dies by the end...

Janeane Garofalo?


*thinks*


YES! Thats perfect!


Besides, I love someone who can be that bitchy and awesome at the same time!


SOLD!

Erm, is this specific to a story I am not privy to, or have you left out a whole lot of major FnorDoM players?

I think he just listed the ones that were mainly active in the last two major fics.

Ah, so only those who can write well get to play these days. :(

I was actually more surprised not to see Doc's name on the list than mine, believe it or not. After 10 years (this August, 1998-2008) I should be used to being left out of fics by now.

And just to clarify what I mean by always calling myself a bad writer - that which I write always gets ignored. I have tried to join in on fics, and everytime I write something, I get plowed over by someone else who takes over the scenario I've created and refuses to acknowlege my character. They then sweep the scene somewhere far away with their cast of a thousand NPCs, leaving my ideas in the dust, with out action or purpose. I have tried to make my character more appealing, but I guess I'm just too shitty a writer to know how to do that effectively. There are plenty of other folks on here who don't write a lick of fic and somehow always get included. What the fuck is up with that? Will someone please solve this mystery for me?

(star you have mail!)

I don't know, I honestly don't know. If there was a way I could help you with that problem, I would. I have gone through the same thing, many times. The best advice I can give, is just keep trying, and if someone takes your idea and runs away with it without including you, call them on it. Granted, it'll start an argument, but at least you'll be recognized.

Coming from someone who used to just flop my happy arse in the middle of a story, and piss off a lot of people, I know what I'm talking about, and yeah, I've learn from my mistakes. ^^;

To make sure everyone knows...
this post is completely, totally non-related to the FnorDoM...the movie...? storyline.

The only intent of this post was for Megatron to see what hollywood actor might match up with what person/character out of the last two major fics. There were a lot of people that appeared in the fics (and even some that added small to large parts) that were left off the list, not intentionally.

Ah, ok. :lol:

Thanks for the damage control, Roady!

Roadbuster is correct on my listings. My list does NOT mean that you can not be included. Those are simply the people who have been active and taking prominence lately. You are fully welcome to join the cast Starshooter, and I would be more than happy to add you and anyone else to the list.

With the "They then sweep the scene somewhere far away with their cast of a thousand NPCs" comment, it sounds like you're talking about me, since I have the most NPCs (9 if you just count my crew, 15 if you count the Skeksis, Jessica, and Marvin, and I'll soon be adding a myriad of villains to that list), have an epic writing style, and my intro did take place somewhere far away. However, I do not believe I have ever ignored you. In fact, I don't think we have ever interacted in the stories. I remember that you did make a post or two during Newcomers, but that was before I joined. If you want to join now, you most certainly can. I always try to do my best with keeping track of everyone active, but sometimes people slip through the cracks. Sometimes this only means that their presence is mentioned, but that more than anything is because I either don't know their character very well and don't want to put words in their mouth, or I want to allow them the chance to do what they want to do, and not put words in their mouth. I've tried taking liberties with other people's characters before, and it never pans out. I was recently feeling that we don't really have that many people contributing these days, and I for one would love it if you and any other number of people joined in.

I understand your frustration of trying to join, being ignored, and then having someone who doesn't participate in any way being used a lot. The Rod is a perfect example of this. That is also why I put him in the sidekick section, as he's pretty much been Roady's NPC. I do feel your pain on this, and looking at it now it is highly unjust.

So, to put it shortly, you do not have to be a good writer to join us. Make contributions, keep track of your character, and you'll be good. I personally guarantee that I for one will do my best to aid in keeping track of you, and will not try to steal the spotlight from you if you create a scenario.

I really hope that I did not offend you in any way. When I first joined the story, I had just recently created my crew on another thread, and was very excited about having done so. Then, when I learned about the stories taking place, I got excited and thought I'd use my full crew. I've had experience in writing for a large number of characters, and I always like to have some level of significance/importance in things, never truly content to simply be one of the sideline people. Couple this with an epic writing style, and I do tend to dominate things without intending to do so. Most of my characters are open for use by other posters, as long as any significant changes to a character are left to me or done with my consent. Otherwise, they're as open as any other NPC. The only one that I am truly protective of is Starscream, as my version is radically different from the classic version, and I don't want people to turn him into something that he is not. As for the cast list, as has been said before, it was based on who was recently active in the stories, and is fully open for additions and revisions, regardless of ones prominence in the current stories.

**********

JW%, as for Cybertron Sidestory, I think it is entirely up to you if it is open or not. The one question I have is if it will eventually tie in to the FnorDoM stories.

As for Armand Assante as Rhinox, I think I'd be willing to forgo the bulldozer aspect in order to gain the otherwise perfect performance. Again, watch the Odyssey and tell me he wouldn't be perfect.

**********

Glad you like the idea, BMS! I'll add it to the cast list as an official decision!

Mensah for Dread, threw and threw. And, for the record, Dreads' always been portrayed as black in his "ambassador" modew. Just the style of the character.

For Black Arachnea I think Thandie Newton would do BA PERFECTLY.

As for JW% I always saw him as a kinda Brittish humor myself so I wanna throw the following actors onto the list for him. David Tennant or Christopher Eccleston I see "The Docotr" as a good portrayal of how JW% is. Witty, intellligent, silly, serious and driven. The guy who plays JW% has to be able to play a walking paradox and I think both of the most recent Docotrs have done that perfectly in that roll.

I vote Duncan for Roady.

Lucien I vote Linus Roache his roll as Purrifier in Chropnicles of Riddick is what sells it, he just needs a demonic reverb to really pitch "The Immortal".

Stryfe I'm still thinking on and I'll let Vin Diesel go on Onslaught and replace him with Karl Urban

And No, JW%, I don't think Depp coulda done Ironman was well as Freaddy Prince Jr.

*blink* Stryfe just hit me...

Robert "Freddy Kruger" Englund

And just ahead of time I'll throw in an actress for my next villan "B" Naomie Harris because she can do that carribean curl so well, probably 'cause her mom was Jamaican.

I really don't see Downey Jr. As Starscream, not saying he can't act, the face just doesn't fit, rather find some one a bit more. I'd like you to consider Norrington from Pirates of the Carrieban, ie. Jack Davenport

Oooh, for Krada consider Emma Watson aka Hermione Granger from Harry Potter.

And SOMEONE has to play Kevin Spacey, I don't know who and I don't care but Kevis gotta be in this movie ^_^

Well, given my current mentality, Depp would make a really good G24. That, or WWE's Kane.

Damn. I've never seen Thandie Newton before. Makes it hard for me to judge how well she'd do BA.

David Tennant, now there's a good idea for JW%. Can't comment on Christopher Eccleston, as I haven't seen him in anything. Actualy, I haven't seen any Dr. Who stuff at all, but I did see David in Goblet of Fire as Barty Crouch Jr. I think he would actualy be pretty good and I can see him all ready as JW%. Good call.

I've only seen Linus Roache as Thomas Wayne in Batman Begins, so I'll take your word for it.

Robert Englund as Stryfe. Dread, you should be a professional movie caster. That's, that's just wonderful. I can definately see him in that role. Briliant.

Jack Davenport as Starscream. I like that a lot. It would maintain the "surprisingly good looking" aspect I wanted with casting Downey Jr. Not sure if I like him better though. Then again, this is why I haven't set Screamer's casting in stone yet.

Emma Watson as DM. Not bad. I do like her a lot in the HP films. I wonder how she'd look with purple hair... (slaps self) now I'm all hot and bothered. Don't freak though, she's only a year younger than me, so I can think she's hot all I want! Haha!

Kevin Spacey. Yes, yes, and yes again. We need him. Definately. He was the one and only thing I liked about Superman Returns. In fact, I down right loved his performance in that. But who could he be?

G24, you may ahve Depp, unless JW% has all ready settled on him. Then again, if Depp is your first choice, you can have him. An actor for a PC should always be that PCs first choice in my opinion, and someone that the PC can be excited about having play their main character.

So we have two votes for Duncan as Roady. What do you think Roads, like that casting?

Johnny Depp or WWE's Kane... there's two people I can't see playing the same role even close to similar.

Um... I'm going to agree with you on this one Dreadnought, but I'm not sure where Freddy Prince Jr. came from in this conversation.

If you meant that Depp couldn't have pulled the same smartalec of Robert Downey, I'll also agree. They use a different brand of snarky additude.

David Tennant could probably nail it. I like that idea. Didn't even think of Doctor Who, but it does fit really well, particularly the walking paradox. Christopher Eccleston, while I love is work as The Doctor and as the Invisible Man in Heroes, has always seemed a bit scruffier than I'd like JaggedWing to be. I'm pretty sure Eccleston could clean up, I just don't think I've ever seen it. That's probably more my lack of vision than any fault of the actor however.

Great, now I'm trying to picture David Tennant with the hairstyles and outfits JaggedWing prefers in his Pretendershell. They look a bit outlandish, but they still work.

***

Linus Roache? I can see that really well, yeah. But for the voice, rather than reverb it, I was always hearing Crispin Freeman. I have no idea what Crispin Freeman looks like or if he can even act(on camera/stage) at all, but as a voice actor(particularly on video games) he's exceptional, with a good range(can't always tell who he is) and particularly able to drop into deep, powerful, world weary, voice like you'd expect an immortal to have. Doesn't hurt that he was also the English voice of Alucard in the Hellsing anime, but he also did voices for Kingdom Hearts, Hitman, Veiwtiful Joe, Slayers, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Record of Lodoss War, and probably a number of anime I don't know.

***

Kevin Spacey... Icefang(always thought of him more as a Hugh Jackman)? Starshooter as Jennifer Garner? Hrm... maybe not.

***EDIT

Depends on what you consider a tie in. I think we talked via PM that it was going to take place in your version of Cybertron, which we're working towards visiting sometime in future adventures. Which means a few characters from the sidestory might meet with our main cast. More likely our FnorDoMers will be avenging the sidestory cast, having found what's left of them...

Duncan who?

Michael Clark Duncan Me and Dread both think he's perfect for you.

Oh HIM! Yeah, that's fine... he'd probably make a pretty good RB

Megs watch Chronicles of Riddick if you want to see Newton. She was treacherus amd sexy, which is BA to a tee if you ask me. I thought of some one else too but I can't quite recall right now...OH yes! Kevin Spacey should play Dr. Archiville!

I'm vaguely insulted that I wasn't even listed. I'll write that off as a noob mistake though.

James Franco would make a good Sorus. He has the right bone structure.

First off, Hugh Jackman? I don't see it. I'd see someone a bit more lithe (not me mind you, but Icefang). Also, Garner for Starshooter? No... maybe someone a bit more of the devious and less of the bland. I hate to be picky and all, but wow.

I'm all for suggestions, but someone who isn't all that tall and maybe a bit wirey in build. Not skinny, but not muscular.

Icefang...Edward Norton?

*Even though I don't feel like I should in good conscience add anything further to this thread given my earlier posts...*


Not bad!

Or maybe...John Barrowman? *ducks and runs*

lol, either is great!

How many times must I repeat this?

My cast list is based an who has been active and prominant in the last two text based stories. If anyone has been left out, it is not personal, and you are more than welcome to be added to the cast list.

This is the thrid or fourth time I've said this. I said it in the first post, I said it when the first person was confused about their absence, then the for the second person, I think a third person, and now a fourth. This thread was intended as a fun thing for everyone to do and think about, and to aid the writers/readers of the group fan-fics to put faces and voices with the active characters. At this point, it has turned into a montage of hurt feelings. Maybe I should ask Roadbuster to delete the thread.

I see ne reason why you shouldn't participate in this thread. for that matter, as I've said before, I see no reason why you shouldn't participate in the stories. If you'de like a colaborator for plot development, I'd be willing to work with you.

Sorus, Starshooter, and Icefang, welcome to the list!

Thank you :) :decepticon:

did someone hear something?

lol, poor Megatron. We all came down on him pretty hard for no good reason.

ooo, reminds me of the old days. Y'know, when I had the entire board in a flame-war, and then I tried to join the DoM... forgetting to mention either UH62 or TH. I forget which I forgot now...
