Before I continue with my picks for the more outlandish characters of GARGOYLES' extraordinary supporting cast (it's coming up, I promise), I thought I'd first remind you of the many well-rounded human characters that also enrich this mythology.
I've already mentioned the premiere humans with Rosario Dawson as ELISA MAZA
and Jon Hamm as DAVID XANATOS
As for the rest of Elisa's family:
Michael Ealy (Miracle at St. Anna, Seven Pounds) as DEREK MAZA
L. Scott Caldwell ("Lost") as DIANE MAZA
Michael Horse ("Twin Peaks") as PETER MAZA
I don't normally go for casting the voice actors in the live-action roles, but Horse is still the perfect guy for the job.
Jasika Nicole ("Fringe") as BETH MAZA
Kenneth Mitchell ("Jericho") as MATT BLUESTONE
There are many young, tall, handsome white guys that could portray this character, but Mitchell really looks like Matt Bluestone brought to life.
Lourdes Benedicto ("24", "V") as LT. MARIA CHAVEZ
Anybody else think it's weird that Chavez doesn't look latina on the show? Probably to differentiate her from Elisa. Anyway, that would be less of an issue in live-action.
Enrico Colantoni ("Flashpoint", "Veronica Mars") as MARTIN HACKER
Ron Glass ("Firefly") as JEFFREY ROBBINS
Stephen McHattie (Watchmen, A History of Violence) as HALCYON RENARD
Sean Maher ("Firefly", Serenity) as PRESTON VOGEL
Vogel is supposed to look suspiciously like Owen (not to mention a total square), and Maher can be made to look similar to David Anders.
Already mentioned Taylor Kitsch as TONY DRACON
Aldis Hodge as GLASSES
and Julian Sands as DR. SEVARIUS
I'm standing by this one. Have you heard the guy's voice? He sounds exactly like Sevarius, which is pretty impressive for anybody not named Tim Curry.
