I was watching Heroes the other night and suddenly it came to me that the guy who plays Mohinder Suresh would be perfect for Swallow! Here's a couple of photos.

His real name is Sendhil Ramamurthy, and he's perfect, now I know popular opinion is that Johnny Depp would be good for the role, but are there any thoughts on Sendhil?

:O - No way - after seeing that photo - I can't see Johnny Depp as Swallow - I think he is perfect always love!!

He looks so close to what I picture Swallow - it's uncanny!

Nice work at spotting that!! I think - at least in looks wise he is perfect. I (still :P) haven't watched Heroes - so I'm not sure how his portray of Swallow will be...

but I'm sure it wouldn't be bad ;)

I agree with MKirara, his looks align perfectly with my mental image of Swallow but I'd have to see him act to know whether he'd be able to pull off the role. Swallow's got a pretty strong presence, I think it would take a certain kind of actor to play him. That said, though, I really like this choice.

I'm so glad you think so! He's a really good actor too and he's got a really nice speaking voice, I love him in Heroes, I'm sure I'd love him even more in Obernewtyn. ;D

He doesn't look like a warrior though - which Swallow is. I suppose he can build up a bit.

The Swallow character would be completely different to the Mohinder character so I don't know how it could turn out - hard to judge from seeing him as Mohinder only.

I like his narrations at the start and end of episodes.

By the way, anyone noticed his accent seems to have changed - if you watch episode 1 again. LOL.

Saw one of his interviews - and he speaks with a distinctly american accent

I think he'd be great. Doesn't quite match my image by any means, but I could deal (understatement). Especially when given long hair.

OML he's perfect! :D Just give him longer hair and put him in gypsy clothes and he's my perfect vision of Swallow! Especially in that second photograph.
He could definitely pull off the mysterious/soulful side of Swallow. I'm not sure how he'd do with the playful/taunting side of Swallow, though. For instance, I can't imagine him picking up a man by his collar and quietly taunting him as his face turns red.
But then again, he's a really good actor so I'm sure he'd manage it. :)
I'm already picturing him as the slightly older/more mature Swallow who comes and saves Elspeth and the other misfits from Malik. ^_^

He doesn't look like a warrior though - which Swallow is. I suppose he can build up a bit.
Have you seen him in the second season of Heroes? There's a period there where he has his shirt off quite a bit, doing chin-ups and such... [act]squee[/act] [act]cough[/act] |:| Anyway, the point is - even though he might not look really built in that photograph, trust me - he is.
Here is picture . And another one . Ignore the creepy guy on the left. :P

Even evil Mohinder was yummy but I don't know if I could see him as swallow. Love to see him in some gypsy gear to have a look though :roll:
Personally I've had to disregard Orlando after Troy. I know the part wasn't supposed to be manly but puhlease did it have to be so unmanly??? I'm sure he could do it though, completely differing in LOTR

I love Sendhil for Swallow! I think his refined accent would accurately portray his position in the Twentyfamilies as well.

It's funny that you don't like the idea of Orlando Bloom for Swallow, because it's your signature that made me think of him for the part, lol. I think he'd be a better Swallow than Domick, at any rate. Now every time I think of Swallow, I see Orlando as he was in Ned Kelly, but without the guns.

Naaaah, he doesn't seem mischevous enough to be Swallow, I reckon. You know, I have a brother who would be perfect for Swallow if he had longer hair. Pity he's a horrible actor.

I dunno -- I'm torn between picturing Swallow as being of African descent - This guy is Indian....and I guess just not who I picture Swallow to be. Plus it's easier to go darker with Twentyfamily gypsies portrayed by Africans, as there would be a greater contrast between the Twentyfamilies and the halfbreeds in that case. And don't forget that gypsies aren't the same gypsies as we have today. Todays gypsies are of Indian descent...so we would be going against the description in IC's books.

Hm. but good pick, and he's worth considering. I guess I'd go with him over Johnny Depp, despite Johnny's uber hotness :P because he seems more authentic. Johhny would have to wear a LOT of spray tan/make up to get anywhere near as dark as a Twentyfmilies gypsy would be :P

I don't know, I never pictured Swallow as African. I always pictured him looking like this! It's funny how everyones got there own images of what characters look like. I always find it fascinating how we conjure up this imaginary person we've never seen.

Yeah, I'm not a Johnny Depp fan on this. Any other time, two thumbs up and a very big yes, but he's a little too old for Swallow and he just doesn't fit the part. Plus, I don't think he would ever take such a small role. Swallow is no Captain Jack Sparrow/Sweeney Todd/Edward Scissorhands as much as I love him :)

I think that guy suits Swallow really well - his looks, anyway. I can not imagine Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom as Swallow though, or anyone in Obernewtyn for that matter.
