Dunno about the rest of the cast, but only Mako could have played Nakor in any Raymond Feist adaptation...

In the Honor Harrington series, I've always pictured Baron High Ridge as being played by John Hurt. Nobody can do "sneering English aristocrat" like him. Gabrielle Union would make a good Mike Henke...

To cast A Song of Ice and Fire, I'd need first to get out the appendices in the back of each book and make a list of all the characters, then spend the next several weeks on IMDB.

Too many kids anyways, I don't know any good kid actors these days.

As a forum, we're currently debating it on westeros.org for the upcoming HBO series though.

I'd also love to see Clint Eastwood adapt Ward Moore's Bring the Jubilee with someone like Jared Padalecki as Hodge Backmaker.

For some reason, whenever I read those books I picture Yancy Butler as Honor Harrington.
