Armchair Casting Director: 'True Blood' wolf hunt

they probablly already have an actor for it by now, but i just read club dead and i totally pictured jeffery dean morgan! i was so excited to see that he was on this list, im not the only one who thought of it!!

Please stop fighting for Billy Zane to play Quinn he’s entirely too old for the part. His acting is fine, just not fine enough to play someone 20 years his junior. No ones that good a actor.

Cavill is too skinny too pretty. Morgan is the only one on this list that is big enough and can carry himself as more than a kid someone who runs a successful business, a big burly protector. I always pictured Alicide to be older than Sookie anyway. Never pictured a prettyboy 25 year old.

Isn’t JDM older than Liev Schreiber?

Alcide is supposed to be late 20′s-early 30′s. Calvin is supposed to be 50′s, right?

I hear you about acting, but this character is important, and his generation/relationship to elders is going to get more important going forward. I think they need to get someone who could be believable as a young adult.

actually love, yes they are potentially goiing to be hooking Sookie up with him. and there are other issues that make a 40 something year old too old.

as for the casting of Sophie. they couldn’t use an at age girl for both legal reasons and for the reason that a 15 year old isn’t doing with that funny thing called puberty and her looks could change, sometimes a lot. which doesn’t work for an ageless vamp. but a 22 year old is less likely an issue and thus a better choice.

I agree with everything kad stated. Brian Austin Green would be perfect!

I agree with Ann – I totally don’t see it. Loved him in SCC, but this just doesn’t work.

@Erika

As a True Blood fan, I say this with love… but I’m not sure acting chops are really a requirement for appearing on the show. (Alex, Kim and Nelsan excluded; they’re the only ones who don’t make me cringe week after week). Sorry Stephen, Anna, Rutina (ugh!), Sam… etc.

Taylor is who I pictured the whole time I was reading the books. Good choice!

Yup, these suggestions are the rare ones that are a actual match for the description of Alcide.

Anyone can get built for a part. Just look at all the actors that have done it for a role. Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Toby Macguire, Ryan Renolds, Hugh Jackman…The list goes on. Their physicque doesn’t really matter, that can be worked on. I’d be more concerned about their acting chops first.

OOOOHHH, yes, Hugh Jackman!!

Ok, so maybe Karl Urban wouldn’t be a bad choice either. . .I can’t pick between Joe Manganiello or Karl Urban. . .I’d be satisfied either way!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is perfect for the part. He can read the right age on camera. I’m not worried about that. Besides, werewolves live hard. He should be a little grizzled. Oh, how I hope they get him. He has the range to make it work.

I think he’s too old also but I WOULD DIE.

To bad Gerard Butler doesn’t have a younger brother.
