Eamon Valda		Michael Douglas	The thing I like about Michael is that he plays evil with such wanton enthusiasm. Makes you wonder how intimate he is with the source... (The Game, Wall Street)
Jaichim Carridin		Jeremy Irons	You can't not have Jeremy Irons in this role. Have you seen the man's icy gaze? I am in awe of this actor; he could be in a Santa Claus suit and I'd be running for the door. (Lolita, The Lion King)
Pedron Niall		F. Murray Abraham	This didn't make a lot of sense to people until I mentioned his role in Amadeus as Salieri, the frustrated court composer (which the picture is from). He has this air of dignity about him, even as everything's going to Shayol Ghul. (Amadeus)
Dain Bornhald		Kiefer Sutherland	Obviously, if I cast the father, I have to cast the son. For this role's precedent, I refer you to 'Stand By Me', and Kiefer's performance as 'Ace'. (Stand By Me, Dark City)
Padan Fain		Robert Carlyle	I've heard a lot of support for Steve Buscemi, but (and I mean no offense to Steve) the point is made in the books that Fain was attractive to women, and Carlyle's got better looks than Buscemi. As actors, it's too close to call, but I cite Carlyle's performance in 'Trainspotting' as the reason I'm leaning in his direction. (Trainspotting, The Full Monty, Ravenous)
Alviarin		Nicole Kidman	That cool, emotionless, appraising gaze... Nobody can pull that off better than Mrs. Cruise. She uses her height to great advantage, too. (Eyes Wide Shut, To Die For)
Elaida		Kate Mulgrew	It's her voice, really, that convinces me. Born to command, expecting obedience, demanding attention. Elaida was once described as a reed, strong but brittle. Kate's voice sounds like that, too. (Star Trek: Voyager)
Sammael		Sean Bean	Ah, Sean. A rogue's heart, a villain's stare. Handsome, but not overpoweringly so; always second-best, never the star, never the marquee name to draw the crowds and pull in the huge weekend grosses. (Goldeneye, Ronin)
Rahvin		Alec Baldwin	Wasn't he born to play this role? (Hunt For Red October)
Ishamael		John Malkovich	Ishamael had fire in his eyes and a crazed mind. Malkovich is the best over-actor in Hollywood (sorry, John Lithgow), and would relish the opportunity to go way over the top with this role. (Con Air, Dangerous Liaisons)
