casting updates

amazondebs posted on Apr 04, 2008 at 07:22PM
obviously i can't keep reposting the same links of the same sites all the time when ever they have a new update about casting but it is nice to keep up with the latest news

here's the main characters that have been released from joss's script so far

Adelle DeWitt
40 something, any ethnicity, beautiful, sophisticated, cold as an alp. Runs the Dollhouse with an efficiency that is both ruthless and protective. Would die before she showed anyone how lonely she is. Series Regular ;

Paul Smith
30s, any ethnicity, good-looks hardened by a cynical distaste for most of humanity. An FBI field agent, he’s been chasing the urban myth of the "Dollhouse" long enough to have lost any shot at promotion. Becomes obsessed with, and twisted romantic foil for, Echo. Series Regular ;

Boyd Langton
Late 40s-60, any ethnicity, gruff, about to make the descent from ’good-looking’ to ’fatherly’. An ex-cop, Boyd is Echo’s ’handler’ - her guard/bodyguard. Hates himself for taking this job, bu he’d lay down his life to protect the people he feels he’s exploiting. Series Regular ;

Topher Brink
20’s, any ethnicity, genius programmer who’s articulate, nerdily attractive and blithely amoral. He’s responsible for imprinting the dolls - and making sure they stay unaware of anything. Is fascinated by the science and kind of digging the illegality. Fun to be around, but might not be remotely trustworthy. Series Regular ;

Sierra
20’s, Asian or any ethnicity - certainly not Caucasian. Strikingly beautiful. A Doll like Echo, she has every personality in the world but her own. Is not as self-aware as Echo, but is instinctively drawn to her as a friend. Series Regular ;

Victor
20’s, any ethnicity, handsome and fit. A Doll, and the other closest thing to a friend Echo has. Childlike when he’s inactive, and everything from Errol Flynn to (young) DeNiro when he’s active. Series Regular ;

November
20’s, any ethnicity, beautiful and heavy. Another Doll, a hopeful child in the house and everyone else you need her to be outside. A comforting, radiant presence, who tends to get fewer of the criminal gigs and more of the personal ones. Recurring ;

Dr. Claire Saunders
30-60, attractive, smart and a little sad. Looks after the physical well-being of the dolls. Has an acid wit that she usually reserves for Topher, who may only be kidding about being smitten with her. (Or he may not). Recurring.

*cries as well* I don't care if James will be the character if he's cast that's looks are being described as going from good looking to fatherly, I just want him in it!

And Amy could really show her potential as an actress in this show I think. Look how well she did Fred/Illyria.

Never seen any of the actors cast before. Nope, wait, nvm, I've seen Olivia Williams in Peter Pan.

she was in sixth sense too which is where i recognized her from

november sounds like a good character for her (amy)
although personal? that sounds sort of like the 'romance missions' which makes me think of buffy bot
which make me think oh you can't turn innocent sweet fred in to a sex thing lol

maybe joss is right maybe if we have buffyverse characters together we won't be able to think of them other wise

Who did she play in the sixth sense? Why don't I remember her? Course it's been years since I've seen that movie, so, I barely remember the character's names, lol.

And yeah, it does a bit.

she played bruce willis's charcters's wife
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3505297664//ch­000­233­7

I wonder if that's what he mean by romance mission or is it just a lonliness thing, hmmmm is starting to sound really dodgey

Oh, I didn't even remember what she looked like, lol. The only two I remember from that film were Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment.

hmmm is she old enough? but yes she could play it very scary but sexy

personally i would have loved to seen anthony steward head as the head guy of the dollhouse but joss wants a woman,

I wish Juliet Landau would have been in it. I think she somewhere in her thirties, not sure.

Edit: 39, born in March of 1965. She's older than I thought.

Ok so the only actor I recognise apart from Amy and Eliza of course, is Dichen Lachman because she was in neighbours. I really can't imagine her bening in anything else! its really random!
