fembuckFinally some Dollhouse casting news! Whoo are the pretty, pretty people that will be joining The Dushku?
Tahmoh Penikett as Paul *woot* I loveHelo Tahmoh!
Tahmoh is great. He is a giant, handsome man shaped ball of awesome. It'll be great to see him get to spread his wings a bit. BSG has never had enough Helo (Yeah, I'm like one of ten people that was Team Shirtless Helo instead of Team Shirtless Apollo).
They should have just gone ahead and cast Grace Park as Sierra. The more I see of Grace Park, the more I love her. She's funny. And after her delivery of "What else are you going to do? Read a book?" on Letterman during the Top Ten Reasons to Watch the Last Season of Battlestar Galactica, was flipping awesome. I was cracking up like I was Tricia Helfer after she delivered it.
*mourns the idea of Grace or Maggie Q ... picks self up and moves on*
Next is Dichen Lachman as Sierra
Never seen her in anything. She certainly looks bombshell-y. My only note is that I vote for dark hair! From the script sides, she should have a lot of fun with the role of Sierra. Looking forward to seeing her in action.
Enver Gjokaj as Victor
He's the one in the T-Shirt ;)
This is another one I've never heard of/seen in anything. Which is actually pretty typical for Joss shows. He's tall and dark which is pretty much how I pictured Victor. Enver must also be able to do a pretty good British accent, which is also fun, and a selling point, lol. Can't really say anything else. Looking forward to seeing him in action.
And finally we have Fran Kranz as Topher
This is the only one I'm not thrilled about. I didn't really love this guy in The TV Set and I found him really brutal, and not funny on Welcome to the Captain, but then again I think brutal and not funny was pretty much just Welcome to the Captain in general. I just found his style a bit ... um, broad shall we say in both projects (though, in his defense I think he supposed to play it that way in The TV Set).
Now, I'm really looking forward to seeing who they cast as Adelle and Claire. Hopefully I won't have to wait in suspense for too long!

Date: 2008-03-27 10:58 am (UTC)I saw a clip (well, half a clip) of her on Neighbours and I see what you're saying. A few times in the clip, I was like "yeah, I could see this." Plus, it's really hard to gage what someone can do in other roles, based on soap opera performances. Plus, you know I've never hated Joss casting for any show.
I TRUST JOSS WITH EVERYTHING.but my first feeling when i saw the pic of fran kranz, i didnt like the look of him either.not seen him in anything though
That said, I still don't like the casting of Fran Kranz. He may be a first for me. I already wasn't really loving Topher from the script sides I saw, but I thought "With a good actor playing him, they could make him more sympathetic than he's coming across to me". And now this guy has been cast, and I now picture that Topher will end up being an unimaginable douchebag because of it.
I find it really hard not to trust in Joss though, so there's a big part of me that wants to be made to eat my words, and hopes that I'll be blown away by Kranz's awesomeness when he gets his hands on a Whedon script.
