Fan Cast: GARGOYLES, PART 2: Villains

My Gargoyles live-action casting continues with a barrage of baddies!

As I've said before, a single Gargoyles movie would be easy, but I just don't know what they could do for a Gargoyles sequel. But I do know one thing: there's gonna be more bad guys.

Liam Neeson as MACBETH


Ten years ago I would've said Sean Connery. Today, Neeson is The Man.

Annie Wersching ("24") as FOX

After last season of '24', I thought of Wersching for Fox, and then I couldn't think of anyone better.

Ray Stevenson ("Rome", Punisher War Zone) as WOLF


Ryan O'Nan ("The Unusuals") as JACKAL

Okay, if you didn't catch "The Unusuals" last spring (which I suspect most of you didn't), this guy had a memorable recurring role as this creepy cop-killing sociopath who just would not go away. Needless to say, he left quite an impression on me, because I can't think of anyone else for Jackal.

Riki Lindhome (Last House on the Left) as HYENA


Lawrence Makoare (Lord of the Rings) as DINGO

This one was very tricky. Eventually I figured that since Dingo is so physically similar to Wolf, and since Dingo is a shade darker than the rest of the pack anyway, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to go all the way and let Dingo be an Aboriginal. Plus, it would be cool to see Makoare play a major character without the twenty pounds of makeup and prosthetics we usually see on him.

Idris Elba ("The Wire", RockNRolla) as OTHELLO/COLDSTONE

Elba would easily be my second choice for Goliath, which I suppose would be true of whoever is cast as Othello.

Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) as DESDEMONA


Lance Reddick ("Fringe", "The Wire") as IAGO

As far as the character is concerned, I wouldn't really call this one spot-on casting, but I know Reddick would make an excellent gargoyle.

John Noble ("Fringe", Lord of the Rings) as THE ARCHMAGE

I would love to see Noble play an all-out bad guy.

Julian Sands as DR. SEVARIUS

Now, I love and adore Tim Curry as much as anyone, but I just can't picture Curry playing Sevarius in live-action without it feeling like a parody of itself. Julian Sands easily fits the mad geneticist mold these days (plus, he's about the same age now as Curry was when he voiced the character, so there's that.)

Taylor Kitsch ("Friday Night Lights", X-Men Origins Wolverine) as TONY DRACON

Seriously, who wouldn't want this guy playing a villain?

Aldis Hodge ("Leverage") as GLASSES

Not bad man, I can see all of these actors in these roles. The only two I may change would be

James Franco as Tony Dracon

And for my favorite Gargoyles villain, Anton Sevarius, I would havce to go with teh guy who voiced him in the series, the amazingly talented Tim Curry.

Woop, let one slip this time. I just can't see Lawrence Makoare as Dingo. Don't know who yet but not the guy. The rest is as Stellar as your first line up! But if you could fit in Tim Curry somewhere, go with HAWK ;) Love me some Curry :))
