So we've all discussed the main characters and their appearances many times over, but what about the Forsaken? Some of them i just cannot put a face to, maybe you can.

 

What I have (and you're all going to jump on Rahvin immediately) is;

 

Rahvin - young Burt Reynolds

Semi - Grace Jones

Mesaana - Geena Davis (although this completely goes against the descriptions of Danelle!)

Lanfear - Angelina Jolie crossed with Kelly Brook

 

The rest of them I just cannot put a solid face to, what do you have?

[me=Ahaz Flagg]smiles[/me]

 

I am sure we all have a little differant views of them all. 

 

Semirage -  Omirossa?    Apprentice Fame

Rahvin  -  George Clooney 

Asmodean-  Younger Sam Elliot

Lanfear  -  Kate Winslett

Greandal -  Susan Lucci

Moridan  - Bill paxton

Be'lal    - Kurt Russle

 

Those are a few as I picture them. 

 

 

I suppose I could buy Grace Jones as Semi, if she had just been a bit younger.

 

Other than that, from te top of my head,

 

Lanfear - Juliet Landau

Graendal - Rose McGowan

Be'lal - Peter Stormare

Moridin - Wentworth Miller

Moghedien - Tilda Swinton

Sammael - Julian McMahon

Aran'gar - Morena Baccarin

 

These probably go against some descriptions from the books, but that isn't uncommon.

 

Rahvin - a fitter Alec Baldwin

Lanfear - Catherine Zeta Jones-ish, but younger

Asmodean - a palefaced, almost comically melancholy Johnny Depp

Semirhage - Naomi Campbell (tall, dark, and bitchy  ;D)

Ishamael - John Malkovich plus flames

 

 

None of the others have celebrity faces attached to them in my head. I could list some actors that I think could play them, but they don't necessarily look the way I imagine the characters to look.

I had always picked Catherine Zeta Jones but Juliet Landau as Lanfear is inspired. Juliet is perfect.  Black hair, Pale skin.  Maybe evil, maybe not you can't really tell.

 

I cast the rest of the forsaken like this

 

Asmodean - Jeremy Irons

Shaidar Haran - Michael Wincott

Halima - Salma Hayek (What can I say)

Belal - John Malkovich

Sammael - Kenneth Branagh

Rahvin - Alec Baldwin

Demandred - Samuel L. Jackson

Graendal - Jennifer Love Hewwit (you need the curves man)

Mesaana - Ashley Judd

Moridin - Jared Padalecki

Semirhage - Angela Bassett (She's got that glare)

I so would love to see Alan Rickman in a film version if there was one, but i dont know who to put him as... Asmodean possibly but... he's sarcastic, very funny... i've never seen him play a character badly.

Rickman as comic twist on Cadsuane??  ;D

asmodean = adrian brody

Moiraine =  a  young  vivian leigh  from gone with the wind

Elayne= Heidi klume  or maybe a young christie brinkley

Lan= Liam nieson

rahvin =  George clooney

 

i always picture these people  looking like this  when i read about them the others change appearance  in my mind  esp rand.

I am with ya, from two rivers until book 11, how I have seen Rand has changed many times.  No way I could picture any current or former star as Rand. 

If there's any real person coming to my mind when thinking about SH, it's Peter Steele

I believe Rahvin is black. ;)

He is described as having a dark complexion. I take that as mediterranean rather than black. Especially since we see Mat describe him as dark, and that's before he has ever seen an actual black person.

Lan is obviously Gerard Butler........ ::)

 

Lanfear - Angelina Jolie crossed with Kelly Brook

 

 

Completely agree with that one!
