Content is hard. Let's have CASTING!

It's been a while since we've had a good fantasy casting thread, and this promises to be a crazy week at work, so I figure it's time to have a pretty party. This week, we're casting Feed. Feel free to cast other works in the Newsflesh universe as well (so if you want a high-profile actress for Becks, when it's essentially a cameo in the first book, explain how you'll use her in the second). Pictures are a plus!

A few things to keep in mind:

There is absolutely no reason, by the text, that the actors cast for Georgia and Shaun need to be white. George is described as "pale" after she's been inside for a long period of time, but that's it. The only characters that really need to be cast Caucasian are Buffy and the older Masons (Stacy and Michael). Buffy because she's blonde, the Masons because they're a very specific sort of suburban archetype gone horribly wrong.

Your Shaun and Georgia should be similar in age, because they're going to be playing off each other a lot.

Explaining your casting/supplying pictures is a big, big plus.

At the end of the week—well, Thursday; I'm on a plane all day Friday—I'll pick the dream cast I like best and send them a signed copy of Blackout. Because I hate the post office but hate thinking about addresses more, this is open to everyone.

Have fun!

I think Hunter Parrish would be awesome as Shaun, particularly because he does that "look, I'm playing dumb, watch and underestimate me" thing so WELL. I thought his character in Weeds was barely functional and then all of a sudden he was beating his mom at her own dirty game, and it was awesome.

I don't picture Georgia as pale, though, except when she's been kept indoors against her will.

I rather terribly want Adrian Pasdar as Ryman because he does both sunny openness and terrifying shades of grey with complete perfection and can switch from one to the other on a dime.

Hunter Parrish is so much win.

I have a pale Georgia in mind because I like how striking that complexion is on someone with dark hair.

Ooooh, Adrian Pasdar. I'm totally going, "Who could I cast him as" since I have my Ryman cast already, but he'd be fun to have around....
