No no no no no... Robert Downey Jnr HAS to be Lester Tourville.

Not for Hamish anyone? he's supposed to look a bit older than Honor, where Tourville and Honor probably look younger.

Besides, Hamish doesn't have a mustache. RDJr with one? bit too weird for me.

We need a younger version of Brigitte Nielson though. AKA someone to play Thandi Palane (eventually...)

Alistair McKeon - Eddie Redmayne

Kevin Usher - hmm, I think it needs to be a middle-aged action star to make the transition from operational to command even if its not shown on screen. So, someone from Vin Diesels generation?

Why not switch russel crowe and david tennant, I never thought of Higgens as that old and he would fit protector benjamin fairly well, my own idea is either mel gibson or tom hanks for amos parnell as well, maybe Noah Wyle for andrew LaFollet as well

HotQ-era Protector Benjamin is supposed to be mid-thirties though, if I recall aright, young and with a sort of manic energy about him. If we were talking ART-era Benjamin, I could see Crowe in the role one hell of a lot better.

I've always thought of Allen Higgins as second-gen prolong - so not quite as weathered/mature as Hamish, but not as young as Honor is supposed to be - he strikes me as an officer somewhere between Hamish's generation and Honor's. Of course, I could be totally wrong on that, as his age is never given anywhere. But really, there's a very simple reason why I cast Crowe as Allen Higgins.

I have a massive crush on Allen Higgins.

I have a massive crush on Russell Crowe.

Follow my logic? Such as it is, and what there is of it?

So many wonderful ideas! And that includes some for Shannon Foraker, but let's be real. Any choice that isn't Evanna Lynch ("Luna Lovegood" in the Harry Potter films, the title role in "My Name is Emily," etc.) would be, well...wrong. =P

Similarly, anyone who doesn't think that Augustus Khumalo is destined to be played by Norm Lewis needs to a) go find out who Norm Lewis is and b) change their mind, because They Are Wrong.
