Can't think of the rest yet.

 

[JackBauer]

Alex Wilder - Percy Daggs III
Nico Minoru - Camilla Belle sort of reminded me of Nico, but dunno...
Chase Stein - Brady Corbet
Gertrude Yorkes - Amber Tamblyn
Karolina Dean - Elizabeth Harnois
Molly Hayes - Raquel Castro

 

[The Question]

Nico Minoru - Camilla Belle sort of reminded me of Nico, but dunno...

She's be a good choice, except she's too "not asian".

 

[JackBauer]

She's be a good choice, except she's too "not asian".

I know, I know... just couldn't think of a young talented asian actress.

Im going to do with the cast wizard picked for a runaways tv show. If only I kept that issue I could remember the cast.

knowing Wizard, it's probably a bunch of people in their late 20's. I still remember the stench of their Young Justice casting call...

Most of them were actually the right age, but some didn't really have the look.

 

[JackBauer]

Seth Green was the right age for Impulse? maybe 10, 15 years ago...

Karolina Dean: Lindsay Lohan
Gertrude Yorkes: Eden Riegel
Nico Minoru: Kea Wong
Molly Hayes: Alyson Stoner

thats good. except for Lindsay Lohan as Karolina. (i just cant see it). Wasn't Vincent Kartheiser on ANGEL?

 

[JackBauer]

he played Connor. personally, it'd be kind of weird to see him in such a lighthearted role, considering how serious his character was in Angel...

 

[The Question]

knowing Wizard, it's probably a bunch of people in their late 20's. I still remember the stench of their Young Justice casting call...

What was their YJ casting call?

 

[JackBauer]

What was their YJ casting call?

Robin - Tobey Maguire
Superboy - Freddie Prinze Jr.
Wonder Girl - Selma Blair
Impulse - Seth Green
Arrowette - Sarah Michelle Gellar
The Secret - Meredith Monroe
Red Tornado - Ed Harris

there's a couple more that I can't remember

 

[The Question]

Dude! Bart's like......fourteen!

 

[JackBauer]

exactly! it's like the were thinking like Hollywood execs: choosing the actors that were "hot" at the time, with no worries whatsoever about their suitability for the role.

 

[The Question]

Anyway, I read the Runnaways thing. All in all, the casting choices weren't that bad. Except for Molly. The actress they picked for Molly was too old.

 

[JackBauer]

what were the choices?

 

[The Question]

Can't remember. But their choice for Chase was the blond guy from Everwood, and their choice for Molly was the youngest one from Seventh Heaven.

 

[owen_2006_294]

The youngest one from 7th Heaven?! Ah! Blond Guy from Everwood! What r they out of their bloody minds? the kid who played Connor from ANGEL is good for the role of Chase.

 

[deathshead2]

The girl to play Nico was the girl who played jubalie in x-men or however you spell her name.

 

[JackBauer]

The girl to play Nico was the girl who played jubalie in x-men or however you spell her name.

dude, she appeared in the movie for like, a couple of minutes. is she the girl to play Nico simply because she's asian?

 

[JackBauer]

Can't remember. But their choice for Chase was the blond guy from Everwood, and their choice for Molly was the youngest one from Seventh Heaven.

not their worst choices, though the guy from Everwood is a little too jocky for Chase, IMO.

I still prefer my own choices.
