if they decided to imortalise the belgarid in film, who would play each character?
I've found the perfect actor to play silk - david spade, and he looks the part (appologies to our silk)

Lacedaemonian · 1st February 2005, 02:19 PM

Polgara - Catherine Zeta Jones
Ce'Nedra - Kate Hudson
Beldin - Tom Waits
Beldaran - Sienna Miller
Durnik - Ross Kemp

Ashen Shugar · 3rd February 2005, 01:44 PM

Asharak the Murgo - that Phoenix with the silly name from Gladiator / Signs
Barak - needs to be big, loud & likable - Kurt Russell perhaps?
I'd like to see Colin Farrell, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Mel Gibson & Edward Norton in their -
If they came to you & offered their services, who would you cast them as, or would they be unsuitable?

Princess Ivy · 3rd February 2005, 02:51 PM

mostly unsuitable for the parts. I'd like to see casting based on the characters, not actors profiles. to suit the story rather than commercialism.
and Ross Kemp as the knowedgable and thoughtful smith? meh, i hope not

morelin · 3rd February 2005, 05:53 PM

i think Christopher Walkin(sp) would make a great Belgarath. he plays quirky, odd characters very well. the choice of David Spade would work well. my choice for garion would be Heath Ledger.

Ashen Shugar · 4th February 2005, 05:24 AM

Don't know Ross Kemp or Sienna Miller. What have they been in? Not sure about David Spade. I LOVE Catherine Zeta, Kate Hudson selections & I'll support the Walken nomination - a difficult role, but I think he could pull it off.

freight_train6 · 22nd February 2005, 12:34 AM

Sean Connery would be the best person for belgarath he has wisdom beyond his yrs. And Danny Devito as beldin that would be interesting. or maybe John ries Davies played the dwarf in lord of the rings.

Polgara · 14th April 2005, 02:34 PM

Poledra - Sigourney Weaver
Belgarath - Tom Hanks
Beldin - Danny Devito (Definately)
Polgara - Angelina Jolie
Garion - Matt Damon
Ce'Nedra - The sister in 6 feet under(I can't remember her name)
Silk - Tom Cruise

morelin · 14th April 2005, 04:56 PM

sorry polgara, but tom cruise. blahhh!i will support the nomination for sean connery. definately one of the most handsome and dignified men in the world. i love his voice. i will support anjelina jolie too.

Animaiden · 18th April 2005, 09:40 PM

I think someone new would have play Garion and Ce'Nedra. Remember that at the begining of the Belgariad Garion and Ce'Nedra are both aroung 13-15 years old. You have to find someone who looks that age.

Belgarath- Stuart Wilson
Polgara- Julianna Margulies
Silk-Gordon Micheal Woolvett (Harper from Andromeda)
Zedar- Tommy Lee Jones
Barak- John Rhys-Davies
Beldin- Danny Devito

Check out IMDb.com for pictures of anyone you don't know.Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks would, I believe, not be very good choices for anyone. I believe that if the books became movies(there'd have to be more than one) the casting people should stay away from "popular" actors and go for actors that would do the part well.
Last Note: I think this would be better as an animated tv series than a movie. At least in a series you don't have to cut as much of the plot out.

Darken Rahl · 20th April 2005, 03:31 AM

Belgarath - Gary Oldman (like Walken can play just about anything)
Polgara - Lucy Lawless
Beldin - John Rhys-Davies would be PERFECT
Silk - ooooh tough, Johnny Depp?
Durnik - Hugh Jackman
Garion - the guy who plays Colin Creavey in the Harry Potter films - no idea of his name
Ce'Nedra - somebody new, can't really picture anybody

and Salma Hayek as Salmissra (watch from Dusk til Dawn to see why)

jcm73 · 2nd May 2005, 11:30 AM

I think Hugh Jackman is too young to play Durnik. I always read him as an older guy. And Anjelina Jolie is perfect as Polgara! Not too keen on Sean Connery though. I think he's a little TOO distinguished for the role. Belgarath is supposed to be a bit of a slob after all.

stelfox1 · 6th May 2005, 03:25 PM

A movie, now that is an interesting notion. The characters would have to be

Garion : Sean Patrick Flannery
Belgarath : Sean Connery
Polgara : Angelina Jolie
Beldin : Geoffrey Rush
Silk : Robin Williams
Durnik : Harrison Ford
Ce'Nedra : Keira Knightly

I know some of these actors have already been mentioned but they are perfect for the role.

Sephrenia · 31st May 2005, 10:20 AM

I think they should use Orlando Bloom, Adrian Paul, and Aiden Quin. They look the part of fantsy charachtars.

The Master™ · 31st May 2005, 10:38 AM

Those actors are SOOOOOOOOOOO wooden or plastic, I haven't quite decided...

What you need is actors of substance and who are able to make the subject believable...

Oooo, Geoffrey Rush is a good choice - an actor who can make you believe almost anything... What about Tim Roth??? Or Marlon Wayans (his portrayal of Snails in Dungeons & Dragons made that film fun for me)... Sir Ian McLellan has shown his ability to do EXCELLENT fantasy work... Dennis Quaid???
