One of the challenges for
leverageland is to do a recast of the main characters. Since everyone is absolutely perfect at what they did, I had a hard time doing that without being sad. So instead, I did a genderbend recast! Because that means more boobs.
For the record, I use the word picspam INCREDIBLY loosely. It's picspam in the way Kelly does picspams, which is basically stuff I stole from google.
Girl!Nate: Emily Deschanel
Emily Deschanel is an expert at taking harsh and unlikable characters and making them sympathetic heroines. Not only do I think she would be fabulous at internalizing Nate's personal struggles, but there's no reason to doubt her as a capable team leader (unless the narrative calls for such doubt, of course).
Boy!Sophie: David Anders
Look at that GQ Motherfucker. Who else could be as suave and under-appreciated as Sophie? Few people have British accents that compare to him AND HE'S FROM ORGEON. Please, I really need him on my screen again.
Girl!Eliot: Adrianne Palicki
Let's be honest, Adrianne Palicki is basically an Amazon goddess. She could be intimidating and kick ass and take names all day. Plus, I really wanted someone who was taller than Chris just because it makes me giggle. *is twelve*
Girl!Hardison: Freema Agyeman
Girl!Hardison needs to be a badass who can be smart AND charismatic and Freema Agyeman more than fits the bill, on top of being gorgeous. There's nothing more than Hardison would want than to be played by such an awesome Doctor Who companion.
Boy!Parker: Danny Pudi
Danny Pudi knows exactly how to work that fine line between crazy and sympathetic. He's fantastic at giving humanity to a character that feels very much like an outsider, which Parker definitely represents.
Boy!Sterling: Jaime Murray
They're both hot and British and on Warehouse 13. Jaime Murray is a very classy lady but would add some definite danger and sultriness to Sterling.
Boy!Maggie: Justin Hartley
Justin Hartley is a beautiful man and Maggie is a beautiful woman. He would also bring her firmness as well as her vulnerability to the role.
