Verin		Angela Lansbury	On the show 'Murder, She Wrote', Angela Lansbury was always the smartest person, knew all the answers, and kept her own counsel until she had the situation under her control. Doesn't that sound like Verin to you? (Murder, She Wrote)
Siuan Sanche		Gillian Anderson	Few actresses mix authority with beauty as convincingly as Gillian, and as we've seen on the X-Files, she can be as hard-ass as anyone on this planet when necessary. (The X-Files)
Leane Sharif		Laura Dern	This was a tough role to fill, because there aren't a lot of recognizably tall actresses. I picked Laura because she can act. People know her from 'Jurassic Park', but she was incredible in 'Citizen Ruth'; check it out, if you can. (Jurassic Park)
Morgase Trakand		Michelle Pfeiffer	Mature, ripened beauty. Need I say more? (Dangerous Minds, Batman Returns, The Fabulous Baker Boys)
Thom Merrilin		Patrick Stewart	How could this role be played by anyone other than Jean-Luc? The decades of Shakespearean theatre alone make this casting choice a no-brainer. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
Juilin Sandar		Bruce Campbell	I know that Sandar's role is more serious than Campbell's usual range, but it was the first time I saw him in the Hercules syndicated series that made me think of this role. Besides, I had to find a place for my boy Ash. :) (Evil Dead series, Hercules)
Gareth Bryne		Sean Connery	The name's Bryne. Gareth Bryne. Look, you can't cast a fantasy series without including Sean Connery. It's one of the Screen Actors Guild by-laws. You know he'd be amazing, though. (Highlander, The Rock)
Lord Bashere		Nick Nolte	I must confess that I'm thinking about Nolte's role in 'The Thin Red Line' here; he can act well, and I'd like to see Nick deal with a leader who may or may not be going insane. I'd really like to see him in the period clothing, too. (Thin Red Line, Affliction)
Geofram Bornhald		Donald Sutherland	Donald's been in so many movies that I can safely say that he's played every kind of character imaginable. Which makes him ideal to play a character who has his own set of morals and ideals, misguided as they may be. (M.A.S.H., JFK)
Bayle Domon		John Goodman	In recent years, John has worked hard to expand his acting horizons, and I think he would really enjoy the opportunity to chew some scenery as Bayle Domon. He can hold his own with any actor, and you can see the intelligence hiding behind his eyes, daring you to underestimate him. (Roseanne, The Big Lebowski)
