Ron Glass, Anthony Stewart Head and James Marsters would be cool to see on Dollhouse, if the series continues.

Michelle Trachtenburg should be on Dollhouse. She is a Doll!

ObiWanShinobi · November 8 2009, 07:44 AM

Neil Patrick Harris would be, wait for it...

Isn't Brendon on Numb3rs?

I don't think so, but he was in a few episodes of Criminal Minds.

I second the calls for Ron Glass, Sean Maher, and J August Richards.

Alpha was Wash acting crazy.

It felt more like Wash when he was pretending to be the guy who designed the Dollhouse, when he reveals himself to be Alpha it was more like the exact opposite of Wash.

Ah yes, that's is: Criminal Minds.

How about this game- recast Dollhouse using only previous Whedon alumni.

Obviously Echo and Dr Saunders aren't a requirement.

Topher- Tom Lenk (Andrew)
Boyd- DB Woodside (Robin Wood)
Victor- Marc Blucas (Riley)
Sierra- Sarah Thompson (Eve)
Paul Ballard- Mark Lutz (Groosalug)
November- Amber Benson (Tara)
Adelle DeWitt- Tough one, I'm thinking maybe Morena Baccarin (Inara) or Stephanie Romanov (Lilah) or maybe even Robia La Morte (Jenny)

Sakrysta · November 9 2009, 02:05 AM

Stephanie Romanov would have made a fabulous DeWitt!!!

I would love to see Amber Benson on...well, anything. Unfortunately, I think there's a little too much bad blood since she left Buffy. But who knows? The Industry does have a short memory.

I saw her recently on some movie about an alien taking control of a certain part of Ron Jeremy's anatomy and killing people on the set of a porn film.

now i feel compelled to watch that even though i don't really want to

Some of my alternate picks:

Topher - Adam Busch (Warren)
DeWitt - Julie Benz (Darla) or Gina Torres (Zoe)
Ballard - Marc Blucas (Riley)
Victor - J. August Richards (Gunn) or David Boreanaz (Angel)
Dominic - James Marsters (Spike)
Sierra - Summer Glau (River)
Boyd - Nathan Fillion (Mal) or Anthony Stewart Head (Giles)
Mellie/November - Jewel Staite (Kaylee)

And the Senator just sounds strange with an American accent.

Agreed. With both Alexis Denisof & James Marsters, when they speak in their real American accents, they sound more like British people faking really dull American accents. (To me, when British people use American accents, they usually sound like themselves but with all of the character removed from their speech.)

Especially given his track record, I'm surprised he doesn't blame the actors more for his failure. He blames everyone else.

Amber Benson was on Supernatural once, she played a vampire...

The Borgified Corpse · November 12 2009, 04:13 AM

You know who else would be awesome? Daniel Dae Kim. I'm picturing him as a handler.

Besides casting a lot of Joss Whedon alumni, I think it's cool how the show has been bringing in a lot of veterans from other sci-fi shows. Of course, you've got all the Battlestar Galactica folks, like Helo, Apollo, & Col. Tigh. Plus, while most might remember Mark A. Sheppard a Badger on Firefly, I prefer to think of him as Baltar's defense attorney on Battlestar Galactica. And the leads from other canceled shows seem to be taking out their resentment on Sierra for no good reason. First, her abusive handler was played by Kevin Kilner (a.k.a. the late, lamented William Boone from the 1st season of Earth: Final Conflict). Then, the guy who got Sierra sent to the Dollhouse in the first place was Vincent Ventresca from The Invisible Man.

It's a strange movie, to be sure.

Saw that.

Actually, my fave thing she's done in that few years was a Lifetime movie "7 Things to Do Before I'm 30." Cute and funny.

Most producers who've been in Hollywood for any length of time have a "stable" of actors they frequently draw upon. Glen Larson, Steven Bochco, Dick Wolf, David Milch, Aaron Sorkin... Rick Berman even did it during his time on Star Trek.
