(Boy, I'm on a roll)
So I've just gotten into "The Runaways" and with news that it's going to start filming, I decided to take a crack at casting them. I will warn you firsthand, I'm still rather new to this series, so I'm not totally versed in every character, but I tried to get them as best as I could.
Enjoy!
Alex Wilder: Tristan Wilds. This character was hard to cast, but I settled on Wilds after doing some searching. I do accept other suggestions too.
Chase Stein: James Maslow. I’ve seen him in the new Nickelodeon comedy series "Big Time Rush", and he's illustrated a good comic timing, which should lend itself well to Chase. Plus Maslow's also got the height (6'1) and the athletic build for it too. All that left to do is dye his hair blonde, and there's Chase Stein.
Gertrude Yorkes: Lindsey Shaw. Anyone who's seen her act should agree with me when I say she's great at playing sarcastic and snarky. Plus she's got the sort of build for it (more meat around her waist and hips as opposed to looking like some size 00 waif).
Karolina Dean: Sara Paxton. She's beautiful, blonde and has that Hollywood socialite look to her. Not sure about her willingness to play a lesbian, but it doesn't hurt to dream.
Nico Minoru: Crystal Liu. I'll admit, this was also a hard one to cast, and this was only after lots of careful consideration. Plus she's fluent in English (having lived in New York for four years), and some more classes could help her in being a convincing Asian-American girl.
Molly Hayes: Ariel Gade. I just wanted to go for someone different from other well-known child actors.
Victor Mancha: Avan Jogia. I wanted to go for someone who actually looks Latino, and Jogia has it.
Klara Prast: Isabelle Fuhrman. Her work as an actress is great, as evidenced by "Orphan" and others. The fact that she looks just like her is a plus.
Constructive criticism is very much appreciated!
