: "My wife and I were discussing the filming of a Vance story and tried to cast some of the characters. The only one we both agreed on was Jeff Goldblum as Cugel. Tall, hawkish with large inquistive eyes. I think he could really pull off some of the more comical episodes."
That's a good choice. I think that Stephen Rea (Crying Game,
Pret a Porter, Michael Collins) has the skill and intelligence to pull it off. Thinking of the cover to the Grafton UK edition, I can't help but think that that whirlwind of ability and emotion Keanu would land it.........
"I have always imagined Kirth Gersen as being similar to Willhem DeFoe. Hard faced and wiry without being too big. Any others?"
Michael Biehn? (Terminator, Aliens)
Gavin Waylock : Ralph Fiennes
Mazirian the Magician : Alan Rickman (Diehard, Prince of Thieves)
Magnus Ridolph : Nigel Humphries (Richard the III, Madness of King George, Yes Minister etc)
King Kragen : Roseanne Barr
Heh heh.
Pip pip!
