i must confess mine ignorance... who is Richard O'Brien? ... i couldn't find him on IMDB...

HappyHippo · 22nd January 2007, 11:29 PM

Google Image Result for http://www.nndb.com/people/394/000024322/richard-o-brien-1.jpg

hope that works...

better known as Riff Raff in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, or the UK host of the Crystal Maze. He is a duuuuuuuuuuuuude.

ok now i know who your talking about...

a younger Richard O'Brien might be good as Sadi... but he's pretty old now... he looked realling old in DnD and Ever After... Not sure if Sadi is supposed to be so old...
That said, he would still be a good choice for Sadi.

Belgarath - Has to be Ian McKellan
Garion - Nick Lindhurst
Barak - Brian Blessed
Silk - Johnny Depp
Hettar - The guy from the last of the mohicans
Mandorallen - Antonio Banderas or Vince Vaughn
Eriond - Owen Wilson, and Zac Effron (Troy from High school musical) as the young Errand.
Ce'Nedra - An unknown child actor or the one who plays Hannah Montana
Beldin - Danny DeVito
Polgara - Catherine Zeta
Vella - Salma Hayek
Zakath - Alan Rickman
A part has to be found for the fantastic Patrick Stewart although I don't know as what?
Durnik - Hugh Jackman (just to make sure he's casted)

Talysia · 14th February 2007, 03:03 PM

I think Danny DeVito could be an excellent Beldin. Good choice there, Salmissra!

Eternal Salmissra · 14th February 2007, 11:10 PM

Yeah, good point. I still see him as young and geeky though. What about Wil Wheaton aka Wesley Crusher from Star Trek TNG? There would have to be 2 different actors anyway wouldn't there? So I only need to find one more for Garion. I'll work on that one.

i wish there was a movie, but Eddings said that there wouldn't be a movie. He would make a lot of money but he said no to the movie theory

Talysia · 15th February 2007, 06:06 PM

Eddings said no to a movie? That's a shame. Still, we can dream, can't we?

Wil Wheaton as was, definitely, but now he'sa kinda chubby guy in his 30's.

What about Jeremy Sumpter? (In case the pic doesn't work, he was Peter Pan in the 2004 version)

Jeremy Sumpter

It'll be hard, because Garion's really the only role you'd need at least two actors for, if not three... unless the farmhouse is skipped or done retrospectively.

I just had a brainwave; Jim Carrey for Yarblek - I think he'd be marvelous at belching!

Khendor · 16th February 2007, 06:46 AM

Yeh. Talysia i was dissapointed too. He is a good author and i would love to see his writings been put into a movie but well Eddings said it didn't. He spent atleast 20 years on these works and well a movie would be good.

devilsgrin · 16th February 2007, 08:07 AM

hey, eddings is VERY old after all... as soon as he croaks - though, of course i hope not soon... the rights will end up sold to some studio...

Gotta say, i never thought of Garion as being geeky... on the contrary, he may be clueless but hes also fun and for medievil he's rather 'cool' for a kid.
Wil Wheaton as a child - never, as an adult - completely inappropriate. Pale, dark haired and soft looking - now and then. Garion is an emotional but still mentally strong person and as the lovely Salmissra says "he's much more muscular than i thought he'd be."

Talysia · 20th February 2007, 01:31 PM

Now that I think about it, I can't think of anyone offhand that could play Garion as a boy. Perhaps an unknown actor would be discovered to fill the role.

devilsgrin · 23rd February 2007, 11:14 AM

the guy who played Eragon is a good fit - particulary as Eragon IS Garion afterall... just cast as a dragon rider. Or Chris Egan - who plays Roran in Eragon... a decent enough actor and the right look. Just good looking enough as garion shouldn't be 'great' looking, and not too tall to play a 14/15/16 year old.
