Right on! Linda Hunt would make a perfect Lola – she does that smartass attitude so well!

She would be perfect, but I have a feeling her health isn’t that great

If you’re looking for actors to identify as John, I’m thinking Dean Cain or Jon Tenney. However, there’s also the possibility of cutting off a handsome head and placing it on a ripped body. 😉

Lars Mikkelsen for Stemp, Manu Bennett for Germain, Fionnula Flanagan for Lola, Josh Holloway is the best John I can picture, and the guy at (this link NSFW: full frontal nudity) http://67.media.tumblr.com/10c4c5e6b1d1f77bf63e443f18148e52/tumblr_ns5l8nQutE1ubus30o1_500.jpg, seems like the right Arnie. Also, Isla Fisher might make a good Aydan, if she was taller. Fantasy complete. adios.

Ooh Karen, not bad, Rhys. I wouldn’t have thought of him at first, but you’re right, totally gawky. I’ll go Sam Elliot for Hellhound, and Peta Wilson be awesome for Aydan. She is badass with weapons, bikes and attitude that won’t quit. And then if you had her, Roy Dupuis would be perfect as John Kane (and he’s Canadian too, eh!). Just sayin. And all the la Femme Nikita fans would die happy.

I think we should have Tommy Lee Jones in the mix somewhere and maybe Rip Torn, but maybe I just have a soft spot for both of them

You definitely need to check Rhys Ifans out in the movie, “Notting Hill” with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, It’s a terrific romantic movie, but THAT Rhys as Spider is far too quirky, unattractive and stupid. I’m sure the actor is able to look more presentable, and intelligent, and he does have a spidery body. Still, I’m not sure he’s Spider.
The beefcakes you’ve posted for Kane don’t seem to have ever been hockey players who played without face protection. It’s a tall order to fill- not all that traditional handsomeness, yet a ripped torso, tall, broad shoulders, gray eyes that are devastating in a smile, and a scary-big package.
The guys you’ve nominated for Hellhound are all pretty close physically, but there is none of the facial damage described that must be present if the guy is to play that role.
I think the nominations for Aydan are mostly too skinny to worry about muffin tops, an extra 10 pounds, or jiggly bits. I like the understated beauty of Anna Gunn, but I can’t even imagine Jane Lynch with long red hair, and I can’t imagine she could be tough AND sympathetic.
As much as I venerate Judi Dench, I don’t think she is the purple or pink-haired pixie you’ve described. I think she’d have the voice and the naughtiness to pull it off, but I just can’t see her dressed as Lola dresses.
I like all the nominations for Moonbeam Meadow Sky, Karma, and Skidmark. I think Nichele, Tom, and Linda would be the easiest to cast. What a fun exercise, though.

That’s the thing, isn’t it? I couldn’t find actors who were perfect for any of the main characters because Aydan and John and Arnie are far too clear in my mind. The supporting characters are much easier to cast!

Oh no no no…. Spider has to be that “wholesome, cute, nerdy” boy next door…… Rhys has too much character to be so “timid” and “wholesome” as Spider…. he would NOT blush at sexual innuendos!!!!
