So funny that you posted this, as Katie McGrath and Luke Pasqualino have long been my mental images of Irene and Gen. As an actress, Katie is maybe not quite as poised as I picture Attolia, but that's a small thing. I've never actually seen Luke act, but I came across his picture a while back and immediately thought Gen!
I could see Bradley James as Sophos. For Costis, I picture someone more classically-soldier-like, if that makes sense. Like Channing Tatum in the The Eagle--though the example is a little cringe-worthy (best I could think of, off the top of my head).
Agreed!! I was actually just going to suggest her! She has the look and the attitude -- and her voice is perfect, too.
I also really like the woman who played her sister, Sybil. (The "Edith" actress is also great but would be SO wrong).
And actually, my sister and I were just watching a DS9 show -- what about Terry Farrell, who plays the Dax character? Of course, she's way too old now -- but as she was then, she could have done it!
That's pretty cool! I think that Katie did a pretty great job with being poised and regal in earlier episodes of Merlin. As for Luke, I had never seen him act until The Musketeers, but he's been doing a really good job so far.
I've always found casting Sophos is really difficult. I personally feel like Bradley is too strong/big/action-y for at least book 1 Sophos. I've always imagined Sophos as a bit scrawnier, and still pretty lean even after the muscles and fighting skills he gets.
