The man you're thinking of is Robbie Coltrane, and 10/10 for thinking about casting, but I don't agree with this one at all.
1. Brydda is well built, while Coltrane is overweight.
2. He's far too old to be Brydda. Brydda is a youngish fellow, and Coltrane is 55 this year.
I would imagine Coltrane more suited to Gryfyyd, Brydda's father. Brydda is more in the 30's-40's, actually, perhaps even younger...
*stolidly stands by Rufus Sewell as Brydda*
He always plays bad guys...but he'd be soooo good as a rebel!
I reckon Rufus Sewell looks too young to be Brydda, and too small.
Probably he can be Malik or something.
I've got another one! How about Leonardo di Caprio(Titanic) as Ariel the man?
Well, they could use anti-wrinkle cream and lots of makeup? [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/wink.gif" alt=";)" border="0"/>
I like Thomas Sangster for young Ariel. Wouldn't Chris Pine look a bit funny with white-blonde hair? Have to see it to know for sure I suppose.
Ariel doesn't grow / change that dramatically. If a movie were to be made, I daresay that by the time they got around to making Ashling / TKP (where we see Ariel-the-young-man) that whoever they selected for child Ariel in Obernewtyn would be old enough to do the role...
Hmmm... I reckon I'll have to agree with Min this time. What abou Chris as Rushton? *drools* My two favourite guys in the world.... *mind comes back to earth* Sorry, and isn't this thread about Brydda?
I dunno, he just seems too "pretty lookin'" for Rushton [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
Rushton needs to be good looking, but still have some rugged-ness to him.
*cough* yeah, it was originally about Brydda lol.
Viggo as Rushy... oh... um... he's too old really and I don't see him as the embodiment of Rushton... I've never seen an actor who could play him either.
But my tip for Byrrda would be Sean Bean (who portrayed Boromir) or someone similar.
i'm not sure about Brydda - we need someone like Robbie Coltrane, only 20 yrs younger and not so heavy. he has the right look about him for Brydda tho i think, but i agree, he is too old. he would be a great Gryfuud tho'...
and can we please find some role for Gabriel Bryne? he is awesome. if his hair was dyed he'd make a good Alexi. i'm just thinking of the way he played the devil in End of Days...that would be perfect.
Ben Barnes!!!!! He's too good looking! You said it yourself, he has to have some rugged-ness too! I stand by Viggie! [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/angry.gif" alt=">:(" border="0"/>
Viggo is nearly 50 years old!! He could play Rushton's grandfather!!
I wish I had better photos of that guy. That's a head shot, so he's supposed to look all pretti-fied [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
I think you need to resize the picture in your sig. Its a bit large
Cheers for the heads up, and sorry about that.
Is this size better?
Is there a maximum size my sig can be? I looked for one but couldn't find anything that said so so I figured as long as it didn't throw off the page, all was good.
Welcome to Obernet arielli! To me Abraham Benrubi looks a bit BIG.
) Don't you think he's a good person to play Brydda?
