  • Way too much work - even if I had the ability - Gip.

    Color me lazy Friday afternoon and ready to crack a beer.

  • Sorry Gipper , to be honest I don't know who any of these people are except for a very few. Also if we are limited to actors living and working today it's almost impossible, I don't know nearly enough English actors which is what I've been looking for were I Casting.

    WSS

  • Arthur: How about I turn the tables on the Harry Potter group.....Put Tom Felton (Malfoy) in as Arthur

    Mordred: Daniel Radcliffe.....Mordred is short, dark deformed. (Radcliffe pulled this off in Frankenstein)

    Uther: Liam Cunningham...or Charles Dance

    Guinevere: Karen Gillan (Amy Pond of of Dr. Who....though she would have to get naked for this role..which would be nice)

    Derfel: Aaron Taylor-Johnson....Pietro from The Avengers, Age of Ultron

    Merlin: Sea Bean

    Lancelot:

    Nimue: a young Keira Knightly is that sort I had in mind....though Kiera may be too old now to play a teen/20ish

    Morgan: Gemma Arterton....from Quantum of Solace, Prince of Persia, Hansel and Gretel. Could do sorceress pretty well.

    Do you mean you don't know the characters from the Arthur tales? Derfel and Nimue are a bit unknown....but the other characters are always in the Arthur movies/shows.

    And I know that you have read the Bernard Cornwell books that this is based on.

  • Take all the actors and actresses from NCIS and NCIS LA....

    and there ya go.... just fill in the blanks.

    Did he write those Saxon books? If so I just got one of his, the first and one of the series, the last Kingdom. As far as the Arthurian stuff I just don't know English actors well enough. I mean I could probably fill in the blanks with the ones that are big stars now but not familiar enough to discern.

    Yes, same guy that writes the Saxon Tales. He actually says that his Arthur Trilogy is his best work.

    Why?

  • Are we going with english actors only as it's an english show? Also are we going all-star, dream cast, or less well known?

    BBC did this show a few years ago, btw.

  • I know there are Yanks who can do a British accent and vice versa.

    By the way that always amazes me in the case of an Englishman doing a Yankee accent that isn't obvious to me. Kenneth Branagh and Gary Oldman come to mind.

    Yep. Also Mel Gibson even though he's Australian.

    How about Gwyneth Paltrow?

    WSS

  • Meh. Not bad. She lives over here I think though, so to be expected.

    Yes, I saw that show....a decent one.

    You can choose any actors you like. I chose mostly British because it is set in Briton.

    A lot of British actors when they try to do an American accent have a flat nasaly aspect. Like they were 1920s Chicago gangsters.

    Some try to cover it up by attempting to do a southern accent. Again, with some, it works, with most....no.

    But the guys you mention do do well.

  • Frankly I'm not a huge fan of most American actors doing a Southern accent Tom Hanks specifically.

    They always wind up sounding like Moe Howard doing Colonel Beauregard.

    I think you meant that they come off sounding like Foghorn Leghorn.
