Here's my TOS dream: We start one day after Hand of God with new actors playing the original roles. I ask you the TOS fan base who today could best play the TOS characters, especially Adama, Starbuck, Apollo, Baltar, Sheba, Cassiopeia, Tigh, Boomer, and Athena? :) :salute:

Since this is a thread regarding a Continuation taking place immediatly following the last osBG ep, then here are my choices-

Adama- Ian McKellan
Apollo- To be filled in
Starbuck- Cary Elwes
Boomer- Cuba Gooding
Tigh- To be filled in
Athena- This girl (http://www.firedragon.com/~cfleets/gallery/galacticon/Picture_0039a.jpg) :D
Sheba- To be filled in
Cassie- To be filled in
Baltar- To be filled in

Can we go Big Budget Dream Team?

Boomer alternate: Denzel Washington (not practical, but I love the man's acting and he's too young for Tigh
Tigh: Morgan Freeman
Apollo: Rob Lowe

Sheba: Claudia Black, Catherine Bell
Cassie: thinking about.

Baltar: this is way out of the looney bin--Dwight Shultz

Adama - Harrison Ford or James Brolin
Apollo - Who's that guy called "Harm" on that Navy lawyer show?
Starbuck - James Whelling (sp?) Clark Kent on Superman (Watch his "evil" episodes)
Athena - Kristen Kreuk (sp?) also from Smallville
Sheba - Angelina Jolie (Put a little more ass kicking back in the character)
Tigh - Denzel Washington but might upstage Adama. Danny Glover maybe.
Boomer - Will Smith
Cassiopeia - Kelly Hu from Scorpion King (I know she isn't blond but she fits the vision)

Rigel - I could see the girl that plays Callie in TNS saying, "Launch viper now!" and wearing pigtails!
Baltar - We could never afford him but could you see Baltar saying "You can't handle the truth!" I can see it.

Apollo - Who's that guy called "Harm" on that Navy lawyer show? David James Elliot
Boomer - Will Smith
Cassiopeia - Kelly Hu from Scorpion King (I know she isn't blond but she fits the vision)Will Smith and Kelly Hu are both cool choices.

If it was one day after HOG and budget wasn't an issue......

Apollo- Eric Bana(maybe)

Starbuck-?

Cain- Sean Conery

Boomer- Will Smith

Sheba-?

Athena- Monica Bellucci (maybe)

Adama-Anthony Hopkins

Tigh- James Earl Jones

Cassie-Helen Hunt (maybe)

Baltar-( I like Jewles Idea Shultz):)

I could see Sean Connery as either Caine or Adama. James Earl Jones would make a great Tigh. Who is Shultz? What has he been in?

The biggest question seems Starbuck. I am going to have to think about that one also. We need someone younger than whoever plays Apollo who is both exciting and plays a courageous man well. People like Brad Pitt are too old. Who is young and yet has a prescence? Too many leading men today that are young look like babies or are short. No Leonardo Di Capria types need apply. Here's a long shot but I wouldn't mind seeing him audition for the part: the guy that plays Smyth, Samantha Jone's boyfriend in the later episodes of Sex and the City. He's tall good looking and looked the part of a strong man when dressed as a barbarian but obviouly capable of emotional scenes. Starbuck has to be old enough to be an officer but young enough to be in YM magazine.

As for "Shultz", that's Dwight Shultz, AKA Barclay on Trek- TNG and was also on "The A-Team".

I agree with your thoughts about Starbuck........it's like being between a rock and a hard place.........still thinking about him too......I keep thinking about Dennis Quaid that smile of his is one in a million, he's just too old to be starbuck:( I remember him in the "right stuff" :D
Wonder if Dirk's children are old enough to play the part :)

shultz played Murdock in the A team;)

i could really go for roger moore as baltar

Ethan

January 26th, 2005, 09:51 PM

I like the Orlando Bloom idea, except I can see him more fitting a Bojay type role. I like Roger Moore a lot better than Dwight Shultz. Morgan Freeman for Tigh was excellent too. I could see Sean Connery as Cain, but I would rather see Richard Hatch come back as Adama. Does anyone like, maybe, Brittany Murphy as Cassiopia? Anyway, it was just a suggestion. . . .

Cassiopea: Sarah Michelle Gellar? (Buffy)

Hmm.. recasting... gotta think...

Mel Brooks - Adama
Jackie Chan - Apollo
Jeff Daniels - Starbuck
Wanda Sykes - Athena
Ellen Degeneres - Cassie
Woody Allen - Baltar (!)
Lewis Black - Cain
Wayan Brothers - Hector and Vector

- And use the Queen Mary for all the Galactica sets...

Hey!! You asked!!!

Ask a silly question, get a silly answer :D :D :D

(Sorry Antelope, couldn't resists :naughty: Only thing I want recast is my leg :D )

You are funny Muffit!

I like the Sarah Michelle Geller ideas also, especially as Sheba.

I keep finding people I like in Smallville also. Here's another from there: I don't know the actors name but the guy who plays Lionel Luther would make a good Baltar. You can't tell if he is pure evil or needs to be pitied. That kind of Baltar would be good in TOS season 2.

Now that I remeber who Dwight Schutz is I can see him but I don't think he could fill those shoes. I guess I can't get beyond Barkley in my mind.

I am still stuck on a Starbuck. It may well have to be an unknown or I need to start watching movies with younger actors. We seem to have a good crop of young women actors today but are short on the men.

Jessica Simpson could play Cassie if you want a young boxum blond who appeals both to the young man and seems to be family friendly.

Adama: Tom Selleck
Apollo: Tom Welling

Athena: Erica Durance
Cassiopeia: Mercedes McNabb

I think Rose McGowan would make a fine Cassiopeia. With the Charmed girls in mind I think the girl that plays Piper would make a fine Athena or Sheba.

Tom Selleck would make a good Adama.

I'd take Sarah Michelle as Sheba too, but maybe Catherine Bell as Athena? Or (can't remember her name) that was the companion on Firefly.

I wish we had a spot for Jewel Staite too. I think I better leave the girls up to the guys!

Siress Trinia: the woman that played Irena Drevko on Alias

Another possibility for Adama: the guy that plays Mr. Briscoe on Alias
The guy that plays Arvin Sloane on Alias would make a good Baltar too.

antelope, regarding your non (ie, stuck) Starbuck choice-

Do you know who Cary Elwes is? The link I provided has a pic of him in a Colonial outfit. If you don't recognize the name, then maybe the face?

What has he played in? I'm bad with actors names but fairly good with the characters.

Darrell Lawrence

January 27th, 2005, 11:01 AM

Robin Hood- Men in Tights, The Princess Bride, Pentagon Wars, Twister and many more ;)

His on-screen personality reminds me a lot of Dirk.

Warrior: Thanks for the info. Now I realize who he is. The only problem is that again he seems to fall into that category of people who may have the right personality but are a bit too old. I can't see a colonial LT being 43 years old.

I really wonder: Where are the young and manly actors? :D

I always though he was a rather young looking person for his age ;)

That girl that played Helen in "Troy" would be a good choice for Cassie- Diane Kruger.

Apollo- Not Sure
Starbuck- Not Sure

Athena- McLellan
Sheba- Not Sure
Cassie- Not Sure
Baltar- Malcolm Macdowell
