How can you now like Lost? *sob* Oh wait, you have to start watching. I didn't give a shit about this for 4 years, then I watched a few episodes and couldn't stop. It was almost as bad as when I started to watch Veronica Mars!
New!Eric is Ian Sommerhalder - your husband might know him, he also played on Lost, he was Boone. And he's the current bad boy on the "Vampire Diaries" - don't laugh, I was horrified by it at first, too, but it got so incredibly good and his character, Damon, has such a snark and screen presence, it's AMAZING! If anyone but Alex could pull off Eric, it'd be him!
I don't know some of these people, but I agree with the ones you chose for Sookie and Lafayette. No one can ever replace Eric for me, I think Alexander is such a great choice, but did you know that Ian Somerhalder originally auditioned for Jason? I can somewhat picture that, but again, Ryan Kwanten is perfect for that role. I think Ian fits better on Vampire Diaries, in my opinion.
LOL, maybe it's a good thing he fudged up the audition. I don't know exactly what happened, but he said he really messed it up. He's from Louisiana, so I know pulling off an accent wouldn't have been much of a problem.
Haha, maybe he couldn't play this dumb, naive little-kid thing that's cute when Ryan does it? Ian just comes across as too sharp. OR he did it too much like he played Bood, but I think if they chose Anna first he didn't stand a chance anyway.
Ooh this was really interesting! I can see Emilie as Sookie, she did have to "kick ass" and stand up for herself in Lost so it could work, and Ian would be an interesting Eric, although he's young. I love Josh too as alcide! I think you can tell I'm a lostie!
Thanks. I wouldn't replace most of the cast either, least of all Laffayette, but it was fun picking out alternates! And on the risk of getting all Alex-fans against me, I actually prefer Ian. Not for True Blood, (Eric is cast just right) but you know, I think he's hotter ;) Dark haired guys, you know - plus, light green or blue eyes are my cryptonite. So the hottest guy of TB would be Kevin Alejandro for me. No competition, not even close. And not even with Alex and Nelsan around. Ryan, while pretty, doesn't do anything for me and I don't know why. He's just... cute. Maybe it's the dumbness of the character?
I'm actually glad people pick out such details and explain why they would make other choices. Usually in picspams it's just a list of Disney actors, Megan Fox, some ultra-unnatural Hollywood actors who make only block busters and can't act for a dime (did I mention Megan Fox already?) and people just complement it. I never critique that, not even by suggesting another actor for one thing. Maybe I should.
