casting Alec
You're always wanting me to help you cast the SWORDSPOINT movie (or 12-part BBC er HBO, baby!) adaptation . . . . Richard St Vier is fairly easy, as there are many actors who have the look and feel. But Alec is much harder, as his type is never the lead.
Tonight we saw the BBC adaptation of The Mystery of Edwin Drood on PBS, and I liked the look of David Dawson (playing Bazzard). He is spectacularly lanky, and his delivery of "Here is the post - o joy" was spot on. I'm not saying that some of your other choices haven't been brilliant, as well, or that he is my ideal perfect choice - but since I don't watch a lot of film/TV, I thought I ought to speak up when I actually do see someone reasonable. So here's a photo I found, though not the best shot for our purposes.
