I still think of Judd Hirsch for Gold...

Interesting choice. I'm liking Leslie Nielson for Gold.

ACT II: LIEBER

"Bajoran synthale?"
"Yes, I know."
"Well."

"Our next stop was a star system known as Little Italy..."

I'm nnot sure if this has been said before, but I think that Christopher Judge (from SG-1) would make a good Taran'Atar

lvsxy808 · October 17 2007, 12:52 AM

It has been said before, yes. By KRAD, if I recall.

I'd go for Tony Todd m'self.

Mr. Laser Beam · October 17 2007, 01:54 AM

^ Both of those are pretty good ideas.

Although, has Taran'atar ever said "Indeed"?

KRAD · October 17 2007, 02:04 AM

Yeah, I've been leaning toward Judge for Taran'atar. But Todd works, too....

^ Huh. Interesting.

The vocal style Gold has developed over 70+ eBooks and two short stories doesn't really match the cadence of how Alda talks, but it might be fun to see.

Well, it's not like David Gold sounds all that much like Sherman T. Potter, either.

Though it would be fun to have him call Tev on being full of "horse hockey."

So, does Gold keep a still running in his quarters for after-duty?

If you chop off the facial hair, I can see a young Chuck Norris ("Good Guys Wear Black" era) as Calhoun.

Cue music: "When you're in Starfleet, look behind you, cos that's where Calhoun's gonna be"

regemet · October 17 2007, 03:27 PM

I can also see Chuck Norris as Calhoun and Christopher Judge as Tranatter and what about the Rock as Si-quan.

JD · October 17 2007, 03:42 PM

I think you mean Taran'atar and Si Cwan.

lvsxy808 · October 17 2007, 04:37 PM

Tranatter. I quite like that. Reminds me of when Quark tried nick-naming him "Trannie" and it didn't quite take.

Christopher · October 17 2007, 05:08 PM

^^I think Quark nicknamed him "Tarannie," not "Trannie." I doubt he would've gone so far as to imply that the Jem'Hadar was a cross-dresser.

foravalon · October 17 2007, 05:34 PM

A cross-dresser is not a transsexual.

Ah, but even if he were, how would we know? Jem'Hadar have no females.

That, in turn, reminds me of a Graham Norton sketch. He pulled out a gay magazine, found a listing for a "naked transvestite party" in the back pages. "Okay, I have a question," he said. "How do you know you're all cross-dressers, if you're all naked?"

foravalon said:

No, I know. But "trannie" could just as easily have been an abbreviation for "transvestite" as opposed to "transssexual." Plus, there probably is some overlap somewhere along that very fluid line. The average punter out there who isn't "in the life" probably has a hard time distinguishing between cross-dresser, transsexual, drag queen, gender-queer, and whatever other terms people come up with.

Hmmm. Jem'Hadar drag queen. Do you think they do USO shows when they're out on campaign? Like Gorgeous Georgina, only Gorgeous Goran'Agar?

captcalhoun · October 17 2007, 09:13 PM

Chuck Norris?

no. Calhoun doesn't roundhouse-kick people to death and he's far more subtle and conniving than a light-speed roundhouse-kick.
