Casting in my mind

[my_daroga]

I think I've found my Draco. I wasn't looking for one. And I think he's an older version of the writer-formerly-known-as-mistful's Draco, which is more or less irrelevant to anything. (ETA: Not that mistful's Draco is irrelevant--the pairing-him-up-with-a-face-that's-too-old-anyway sort of is.)

He's Alec Guinness in David Lean's Great Expectations

Ha! You're absolutely right: that's mistful's Draco in, oh, ten years' time. *g* Minus the cravat.

I love pondering casting. One of my questions is which Asian actors would have been great in Firefly, replacing members of Joss's ensemble? I've heard him whine in interviews that he tried to cast Asians, really, but his white choices were just better. And, really, it's hard to argue with him, because his cast is utterly gorgeous and wonderful. BUT STILL, JOSS!!! Grace Park, for instance, would have made a fantastic Kaylee:

You are a very intelligent person. She would have been wonderful. I adore Kaylee, I mean I think she's the cutest thing ever. But it could just as easily, and cutely, have been Park. I'm not sure his arguments hold much water--his choices were fabulous, but can you really tell me there aren't Asian actors who'd have been as good? Really?
