I think he is a good pick, sharp features, I can see him pulling off a stern poker face, but damn I hope they make all the borderlanders asian. Immersion is important in these epic narratives, and things have to feel as believable as possible. Game of Thrones became so huge because despite the magic and fantasy elements it felt realistic and believable. They already are asking for alot of suspension of disbelief by making the 2 rivers a ethnic checkerboard, which makes positively no sense. I hope they dont do that in every location.

Robert Carlyle could play it close to the books, but I would like to see Zachary Quinto channel(ha) Sylar from Heroes in this role. I think he could draw an audience and beef up the role. Thom Merrilin: Viggo Mortensen has the look for it and would be a nod to Jordan's Tolkein inspiration. But can he juggle?

The cast is coming together. But by how it looks it is a fine choice as far as I am concerned. I guess we have most of the main cast for season one then. There is Loial I suppose but I assume he will be a CGI character. We need a good voice for him though. I would say maybe not James Earl Jones specifically but something within that range, a deep booming voice. We also need people that only have part roles in season 1 but come back with a vengeance later, Elayne, Galad, Gawyn (shudder), Tam. Phew, I am glad I am not lead casting director. As it is, committing to WoT is a big choice even IF they manage to do two books a season. Though I guess at least one or two books happens in a fairly short span of time so it can be more easily be compressed? I think I am glad I am not in charge of script conversions too. Actually I am glad that I am not working on it in any capacity, I just want to enjoy the result! :-P
