Sparhawk is NEVER described as unattractive. In fact i always think of him as a more Mel Gibson-ish type, just with the broken nose to take away the total Knightly Package that Bevier has. Not that i'm suggesting Mel Gibson as Sparhawk mind you. He's far too old now. tho in the late 80s early 90s he'd have been ideal. Now tho... possibly Eric Bana or oooh brainstorm... james purefoy. Both are older, but not too old. good looking but not pretty, and purefoy has been in several roles that are similar.
Please no-one suggest Viggo for Sparhawk... Please i'm begging... talk about the worst actor ever. |
Not James Purefoy! He's like a plank of wood, but without the charm!
John Malkovich is 6'1" according to the IMDB. He also has a presence that would do Sparhawk really well. Sort of brooding and 'hidden depth'-y. I think Mr Purefoy'd be good as Bevier tho.
Mel Gibson... hmm... I can see him as Vanion, maybe, or the Genidian Preceptor (mindblank) with a bit of CGI wizardry.
