Who would you have as death? i cant think of anyone with THAT voice?

Gina Gershon as angua, maybe? she has a certian primevial/wild essence to the way she moves

[Green]

I don't think Hugo Weaving would do a good Vimes. I have a picture of Vimes in my head, but I'll be damned if I can think of an actor who could play him. Whoever he is, he's not American (not that Weaving is, I'm just saying ).

Magrat Garlick = Emma Chambers (Alice from Vicar of Dibley). Case closed

PS - Judi Dench is too posh to play Nanny Ogg. No matter how good an actress she is.

PPS - For Alan Rickman to be famous primarily for the Boy Potter, I think that would make it time to revolt and kill everyone in sight.

[GrownUp]

Albert Finney as Vimes. Timothy Spall as Fred Colon.
Maybe Kevin McKidd as Corporal Carrot.

I agree with Gina Gershon as Angua. Good choice.

[sonofstan]

I have always thought that Sean Pertwee would make a good vimes. I think the guy who played Remus Lupin in harry potter would make a good rincewind and the old guy who play Jim Branning in Eastenders could be Fred Colon.
Nobby nobbs has to be played by Tony Robinson. I agree with anyone who thinks Alan Rickman would be a good Vetinari and i think Grownup is right about Kevin McKidd as Carrot

That'd be David Thewlis, and he mightn't actually be half bad. For that matter Gary Oldman would make a good Vetenari.

[CarlottaVonUberwald]

david spade would either hilarious as rincewind..or rubbish..i can't decide which

[dragula_66]

Alan rickman has the perfect voice to play vetinari, but vetinari is always described as very thin, so there is a problem there, not that im sayin rickman is fat, but i dont think he is quite thin enough considering vetinari, in my mind at least is very ascetic, a side effect of which i think would make him very thin . (although i though the same thing about him playin snape in harry potter). I think with decent wardrobe and makup rowen atkinson might make a decent rincewind, many of his previous characters have that bumbling, befuddled personality i always asociated with rincewind. Although i do agree that gary oldman could pull off vetinari pretty well.
