Cast the Characters of Trek Literature

[Captaindemotion]

^ At this stage, the UK Shameless is only marginally more believable than DS9...

/\Yeah,the Voyager relaunch didn't impress me for several reasons but I guess that's my problem.

"Shameless" is a British comic/drama tv series about a family of, well,drugged-up,pissed-up welfare louts in Manchester(?).
It has been remade in the states and stars William H. Macy.

Ah. Okay. Well not everything is for everyone. I just wasn't sure if you had meant the books or the casting thread. As for the show thanks thanks for the explanation. I'll see if netflix has either (I'm a huge WHM fan).

 

[JD]

Well, the US version isn't on DVD yet, so you won't find that.

Thanks for the info. You've saved me great brain sweat trying to hunt it up. Although I will check Netflix in case they have a coming soon page for it.

While reading Almost Tomorrow, the first story in Vanguard: Declassified, I kept picturing Indira Varma as Rana Desai. What's odd is that I didn't have that actress in mind while reading the previous Vanguard novels, she just popped in to my head while reading this story.

Indira Varma: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0890055/

I hadn't considered her for Desai before, but I like it more and more as I consider it. Good call.

 

[JD]

Yeah, I think I could see that working.

 

[Cap'n Crunch]

I'm reading The Ruins of Noble Men, from Vanguard: Declassified, right now, and it's mainly focused on Desai & Fisher. I'm sticking with Indira Varma for Desai, so I've been picturing her a lot lately. For Fisher I've always pictured him as Bill Cobbs, who played Emory Erickson, inventor of the transporter, in an episode of Enterprise. This particular story also features a character named Ying Mei-Hua, who I've been picturing as Ming-Na.

Ming Na: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001840/

Fisher is so clearly Morgan Freeman, though.

I think I had that same idea.

 

[Elias Vaughn]

Sonek Pran got so much more tolerable when I started imagining him as Christopher Lloyd.

 

[Cicero]

^ Wow, that helps tremendously. Thanks.

 

[Xander]

what do you guys think of aussie actress Peta Wilson for Christine Vale ?

 

[JD]

I haven't seen her in anything, but based on looks... I think I could maybe see her working.

 

[JWolf]

Sonek Pran got so much more tolerable when I started imagining him as Christopher Lloyd.

Christopher Loyd is too busy being a Klingon.

you haven't seen the tv serieshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Femme_Nikita La Femme Nikita?

 

[Elias Vaughn]

Sonek Pran got so much more tolerable when I started imagining him as Christopher Lloyd.

Christopher Loyd is too busy being a Klingon.

And it would be weird to have a Trek actor cast in more than one Trek role...

 

[Xander]

Here are some of my casting suggestions

Sam Bowers - Shemar Moore
Soleta - Claudia Black
Christine Vale - Peta Wilson
Ranul Keru - Chris Scaramanga
Nanietta Bacco - Meryl Streep
TLatrek - Judi Dench
Domenica Corsi - Marjorie Monaghan
Regina Farkas - Tracy Scoggins
Pava Ek'Noor sh'Aqabaa - Melissa George

What do you guys think?

In this case yes as Loyd will always be known as a Klingon.

 

[JWolf]

Here are some of my casting suggestions

Sam Bowers - Shemar Moore

No way. Not even close.

Soleta - Claudia Black

Just oh so wrong.

Christine Vale - Peta Wilson

That's actually not bad.

Ranul Keru - Chris Scaramanga

Nope.

Nanietta Bacco - Meryl Streep

Nope. I'd use Kathy Bates there.

TLatrek - Judi Dench

Again nope.

Domenica Corsi - Marjorie Monaghan

Nope. I'm thinking Sandahl Bergman.

Regina Farkas - Tracy Scoggins

Tracy is not allowed to go anywhere near Trek.

Pava Ek'Noor sh'Aqabaa - Melissa George

Melissa George is a horrible actress[/QUOTE]
