Casting Call Challenge
at tv_universe. We got a randomly-generated name from The Seventh Sanctum--cool site-- and built it into a TV show. Here's mine...
Character Name: Rene Nicholson
TV Show: Firefly
Character Background: Wash gets injured in a deal-gone-bad, and is temporarily blinded. He'll be okay, but if Serenity is going to keep on flying, they need a stand-in pilot for a month. They can't afford to be grounded, so Mal gets a referral from old ally Sir Warwick Harrow--someone tough, skilled, close-mouthed, and not looking for a longterm gig. The guy is is Rene "Knack" Nicholson. But it gets complicated, fast. Turns out Knack has a shady past--several shades of shady, one of which is as a former officer for The Alliance. Another is...he recognizes Book and Book recognizes him. But neither will say more. Plus, Knack's got enough of the mercenary in him to put Jayne's back up, enough of the charmer in him to make Kaylee's eyes light up, and is a good enough pilot to piss Wash off. Can this arrangement work?
Casting: Idris Elba is the ideal casting for this mysterious yet straightforward, shady yet straight-shooting, bold yet reserved, strong, calm, sexy, and troubled addition to the Firefly universe. Yes, he is larger-than-life, maybe a tad too large for the close confines of Serenity and her tightly-knit crew, but it'll shake things up, for sure.
