If you asked me...
Cary Elwes would make a good Shimrod.
A Sean Connery would make an excellent Casmir. Patrick McGoohan would also be a good possibility.
Anthony Hopkins as Father Umphred?
Jeremy Irons as King Audry of Dahaut? If you've seen him as Charles II in Restoration, I think you might agree.
Helena Bonham Carter as Tatzel?
That arch conspirator fellow from the X-Files, the English fellow who died in the car bomb in the movie, would make a superb Palafox should a film ever be made from The Languages of Pao.
Max Von Sydow needs to be in any Vance movie, even if only for a cameo. Too many of those old paper backs feature Sydow - like characters not too have him around... 8)
