Casting

[leitzankatan]

Once characters have names they come here so we can cast them

[leitzankatan]

1. Edward hartles 1962-63
2. Christopher Lee 63-66
3. Bernard Fox 66-70
4. Marius Goring 70-76
a show from 68 to 76
5. Lynda Bellingham 76-77
6. Graham Chapman 80-82
7.Stephen Fry 85-86
8. Steve Carrell 2003
9. mark williams 2006
10. Christopher Obi 2006-2010
11. Travis Richey 2010-present

I think this reflects the current ideas

[LadyBlackwell]

I'm thinking we have Mary McDonnell as Mary Sue Miller and Jayma Mays as Lily Taylor.

[leitzankatan]

It's hard to say no to Mary McDonnell especially because she even looks like her
but I think we should use brits; like Lauren Socha, she's already rocking the whole chav thing

My vote for Fiona Finch was Shannyn Sossamon but if were sticking to British actors and/or actors that have some similar features to their parallels, There is Alexandra Moen.

Oh, I think she'd be an adorable Fiona.

Should all of the inspectors be "real" actors or should there be some leeway for TPTB to place some other US actors in?

[iaminspectorspacetime]

I honestly think we should only worry about casting additional characters once they're people we need to write. For now having the Inspectors listed and the actors for whatever companions show up in 11's series should be good enough.

The Inspectors must be British but I think the other characters can have some leeway.

I don't think they all have to be real people (especially if they're from the older series) but that's just my opinion.

Okay, sounds fair...

After we finish with the first episode, we can have a casting party.

Aw, I feel bad for saying all that now. I'm not a jerk, go have fun. If people get cast then we can start on some wicked fanart.

Is Richey aware that all this is happening?

[ailelie]

Didn't he post about it or something? I don't keep track...


ETA: Yeah, according to his twitter, he's written a webisode. I think it fairly safe to say he knows something of the fandom.

I dunno, maybe. I don't know him personally.
