Ok, so I have been thinking of my dream cast from the moment I read the book, which was around 2 years ago now. I looked at a lot of the dream casting by others and I could get behind almost everybody people picked. But Ian...I just couldn't agree with any persons choices...especially Ian Somerhalder. I love Somerhalder and I think he is a great actor, he just isn't Ian in my head. I could never pick anybody for Ian and the other day it finally hit me, my dream choice.
Christopher Gorham
First, I know he is too old, but I have been a fan of his for over 10 years, since he was on Popular and I swear to God he has not aged a day. He is great at playing the nice guy, the one you just love to love, which is Ian in my opinion. He is most notably from Jake 2.0 and Ugly Betty (although I have not seen either, to my shame). He was also on the short lived show Medical Investigations (House before House aired). He's most recently on Covert Affairs which makes me laugh. As if he weren't likable and cute enough, let's make him blind, so he's really adorable. He has a face you can trust, and now I can't get him out of my head for Ian. Here's one picture, more behind a cut.
And of course what you're really curious about....him shirtless.
