Completed at last, the final push! All the remaining characters I could possibly cast from GARGOYLES are here. Read on…
First up, someone I should’ve cast earlier: John Terry (“Lost”) as PETROS XANATOS
We’ve met the Weird Sisters, now it’s time for the rest of the Third Race:
Vincent Cassel as OBERON
And his obscenely hot Italian wife Monica Bellucci as Oberon’s wife TITANIA
Game. Set. Match.
Neil Patrick Harris as PUCK
For ODIN, let’s keep this simple: Stellan Skarsgard
Alex Meraz (‘New Moon’) as COYOTE
Karen Gillen ("Doctor Who") as the BANSHEE
THE MUTATES
Michael Ealy (‘Miracle at St. Anna’) as TALON,
naturally since I already cast him as Derek
Adam Baldwin (“Chuck”, “Firefly”) as FANG
Since Jim Belushi voiced Fang, it makes sense to get a beefy Chicagoan for the live-action version
Jayma Mays (“Glee”, “Heroes”) as MAGGIE
Brian Steele (‘Hellboy’, ‘Underworld’) as CLAW
LONDON CLAN (from the episode “M.I.A.”)
Jonas Armstrong (“Robin Hood”) as GRIFF
Tilda Swinton as UNA
Vincent Regan (‘300’, ‘Clash of the Titans’) as LEO
GUATEMALA CLAN (from the episode “The Green”)
Javier Bardem, or as I like to call him: “The Spanish Goliath”, as ZAFIRO
Sofia Vergara (“Modern Family”) as TURQUESA
Alice Braga (‘I Am Legend’, ‘Redbelt’) as OBSIDIANA
Edgar Ramirez (‘Bourne Ultimatum’), as JADE
CLAN ISHIMURA (from the episode “Bushido”)
This is a fun episode where the Tourists meet a huge clan just chillin in Japan. Since there’s only four castable roles on that episode, I’ve stuck with those.
Hiroyuki Sanada (“Lost”, ‘The Last Samurai’, ‘Sunshine’) as KAI
Yusuke Iseya (‘Sukiyaki Western Django’, ‘Casshern’) as YAMA
Aya Ueto (‘Azumi’) as SORA
Shido Nakamura (‘Red Cliff’, ‘Fearless’, ‘Letters from Iwo Jima’) as TARO
THE HUNTERS
Henry Cavill (“The Tudors”) as JASON CANMORE
Alona Tal (“Veronica Mars” “Cane” “Supernatural”) as ROBYN CANMORE
William Moseley (‘Chronicles of Narnia’) as JON CANMORE
Gerard Butler as CHARLES CANMORE
And finally:
Adam Ferrera (“Rescue Me”) as VINNIE,
the unluckiest working stiff in the Gargoyles universe
