Video Game Casting Call
So here is the question I pose to you: Who would you cast as the characters in your favorite video game(s)?
This idea came to me as I was watching an episode of Heroes ("Five Years Gone"). I thought, jeez, they stole that scar right out of Final Fantasy VIII! And then Hiro was running around with a katana and I was really getting a sense of deja vu.
The next day I was skimming through my feeble number of TV channels when I came across General Hospital. I thought, jeez, Steve Burton looks nothing like Cloud. Cue the frowny face.
THEN I wondered what they would do if they ever made a live action show out of a video game. And that got me to thinking. Who would they cast?
As far as looks go, I don't think most roles would be hard to fill in.
Let's see how many clones we can come up with!
Oh yeah, and don't hesitate to disagree with my choices and/or find better matches. You could know something I don't know that's better.
This thread is one year old! I can’t believe it!
Thanks for a whole year of great suggestions, ladies and gents. Keep ‘em coming!
Here's a few examples to get you started:
Loni Anderson as Peach
James Marsters as Balthier
Kevin Zegers as Squall
Kristin Kreuk as Rinoa
Amy Lee as Lulu
Christina Ricci as Edea
Dennis Quaid as Basch
(I wish I could find a good picture from Enemy Mine... he looked EXACTLY like Basch in that movie)
Allison Mack as Selphie
(Just imagine a dye job - can you tell I watch a lot of Smallville?)
John Schneider as Tidus
Jeez, you're fast! I'm going to have to catch up!
Greg Vaughn as Irvine
Brad Pitt as Seifer
