Just a fun little thread. If the Powers that Be Decided to make a BG2 mini-series (or movie, but frankly it would take a couple to do the series justice), who would be the ideal actor/actress for each role?

Main Character - Human Male Fighter - Can't think of anyone right now

Aerie - Elf Cleric/Mage - Elisha Cuthbert is my first choice for Aerie, but Sarah Michelle Gellar would be a good choice as well.

Anomen - Human Fighter/Cleric - Jonathan Frakes would be perfect if he was younger. I'm going to have to go with Ben Affleck. Feel free to suggest someone better.

Edwin - Human Conjurer - Gary Oldman

Haer'Dalis - Tiefling Blade - Johnny Depp.

Imoen - Human Mage/Thief - Allyson Hannigan. Almost the perfect role for her.

Jan - Gnome Illusionist/Thief - Danny DeVito?

Keldorn - Human Paladin - Patrick Stewart? Liam Neeson? Pierce Brosnan?

Korgan - Dwarf Berserker - John Rhys-Davies

Mazzy - Halfling Fighter - Anna Paquin?

Minsc - Human Ranger - I honestly can't think of anyone for this, maybe Duane Johnson?

Nalia - Human Thief/Mage - Despite the appearance, I'd put Jennifer Garner in as Nalia.

Sarevok - Human Fighter - Michael Dorn?

Valygar - Human Ranger - Samuel L. Jackson

Viconia - Drow Cleric - Jeri Ryan (with appropriate makeup, would she be a bit tall for this?), Eliza Dushku (maybe a bit better, but still needs the skin makeup)

Irenicus - Elf Mage - Brian Warner

Bodhi - Vampire Fighter - Juliet Landau

[Menelanna]

Anomen-Christian Bael (the guy needs the good looks for the girls to get over his attitude)

Keldorn-Shawn Connery?

Korgan-they guy who played Gimli blanking on him name right now

[Choo Choo]

I'd set Kate Winslet as Jaheira.. and perhaps Kirsten Dunst as Aerie?

[Jarno Mikkola]

For me:
Main Character - Human Male Fighter - Kevin Sorbo

And:
Korgan - (it was) John Rhys-Davies

[Rastor]

Honestly, the only reason I didn't say Sean Connery for Keldorn is that the guy is pushing 80 now. I just can't see him doing the fight scenes and whatnot. If he was 20 years younger, he'd have been my first choice as well.

[Choo Choo]

Oh, oh oh oh. Drew Barrymore as Imoen!

[Daulmakan]

I agree with Rastor on Ben Affleck as Anomen. Very few can match that level of annoyance.

X-Calibar at Imoen.org made up my mind about who should play Imoen:



I'll also agree with Sir Kalthorine about Alan Rickman as Edwin & Julia Roberts as Jaheira.

I wouldn't mind seeing Jessica Biel play Viconia.

Minsc - Bruce Willis?

What actress is that for Imoen, Daulmakan?

Sorry, I just assumed her name was known. That beauty is Kate Beckinsdale.

[minnamaarit]

Here's my cast (so far)

Valygar - The Rock/Dwayne Johnson
Bodhi - Helena Bonham Carter (the looks AND sound)
Anomen - Sean Bean
Korgan - John Rhys-Davies (I bet he damns the day he joined LOTR crew - he's teh officialle dwarfe now ) OR Jack Black (actually I'd LOVE to see this happen lol)
Edwin - Alan Rickman
Irenicus - Hugo Weaving
Nalia - Drew Barymore
Imoen - Allyson Hannigan (totally)
Jan Jansen - Joe Pesci
Viconia - Penelope Cruz
Cernd - Benicio Del Toro
Keldorn - Sean Connery (yes, I'm aware of the age but still...!)
Minsc - Arnold "I'll be back in politics" Shwarzenegger?? And Boo would be the lethally cute hamster of k.akagami

[Choo Choo]

Hugo Weaving as Irenicus..? Hm. Could work. Could work rather well.

I'd set The Rock as Sarevok, actually.

Oh yes, even better!

[Rastor]

Joe Pesci is a better choice for Jan than DeVito, thanks minnarmaarit.

[Gabrielle]

Only one person could do Irenicus and thats his original voice, David Warner.

Micheal Dorn as Sarevok.

[minnamaarit]

Only one person could do Irenicus and thats his original voice, David Warner.

Yeah the voice would be perfect (of course) but he has the looks of Edwin in bad (hair) day.

[wink3345]

You need to add Vin Desile in there some where, what with being an avid DnD player...

Edward Norton for Aran Linvail
Gary Oldman for Edwin


And who for Saemon Havarian?

And who for Saemon Havarian?

Jude Law?

Actually I could see Johnny Depp doing pretty well in Saemon's role. After all, being a traitor and one of the most annoying characters is the series, doesn't mean he can't be a charmer.

[The Red Knight]

Ethan Hawke for Saemon.

Who Plays Hendak?

[Elanorea]

Who Plays Hendak?

Preferably someone who's good at faking accents.

[Feuille]

David Warner for Irenicus! He voiced him, after all, and he's been horrifically scary villains before!
