		<description>Hey Donnie. I think you hit the key reason I neglected to even think of myself - what we're hoping for, at least me and you, is to see a cast of new people. A lot of people already are on TV shows, or they're in movies now, etc. Joss has done so well at bringing in great new talent, and it's so great to see. I won't be surprised if he casts almost all unknown actors and actresses. And I think it'll be better that way. 

Anyway! Seeing Stephanie Romanov back in action with Joss would be really great. I think she has such a commanding presence in her scenes. And bring in Jonathan Woodward would be a very Joss thing to do, since he's been on BTVS, Angel, and Firefly. Heh. Although the character might be almost too much like Knox. Hm. I think whoever they cast with those role I'm going to have a little crush on. 

Victor Garber would be very cool as Boyd, I think he's being wasted on Eli Stone. :X I was a huge Alias fan. 

Ryan Gosling would be another great pick. We are talking about your dream cast, not just who would feasibly do it. Actually...I think I have a new pick. Joshua Jackson!  

I had the exact same problem with the character of November. This is why it's good that Joss and others will get to do casting calls and auditions. It's sad commentary that I can think of exactly two 'heavy' actresses. America, and Nicky Blonsky. 

I know that Amy Adams probably won't go back to TV, but if she did it would be another Joss reunion (BTVS episode Family) and if she could gain some weight, I think she would be great in that role.</description>

		<description>I wouldn't call it dream casting, but yes, I thought about people who I would cast. But to be honest, entirely new faces who I've never seen before would be preferable.

I'll still write about the people which came to my mind though.

For Adelle I kinda thought of Stephanie Romanov, but honestly I'd prefer someone who is a little bit older in that particular role, though she's about to become 40. Then I thought about Julie White who once had a recurring role on "Six Feet Under" and totally nailed that part. She's over 50, but for that part I kinda prefer an actress who's older, since it would underline the differences between the dolls and the character who runs the dollhouse. Julie White would also be available since her pretty bad sitcom "Cavemen" won't come back next season.

For the part of Paul, I'd like to have an actor who's in his mid-thirties or at least looks a bit older than Eliza. Because if he looked as young as Eliza, I wouldn't buy that he's an FBI agent, he certainly could be a rookie, but from released descriptions it looks like he has been an agent for a while already. Paul Rudd sounds cool somehow, mostly because it would be a huge departure from his usual roles. I also like the idea of Jonny Lee Miller, but he's working on "Eli Stone". Clayne Crawford would also be a choice, who is close to Eliza's age, but looks at least convincing for that part, though I don't know if he has the acting chops to pull it off.

For Topher I kinda thing about someone who's a bit nerdy, but not too young. Jonathan Woodward would be perfect or Jonathan Sadowski (whose guest appearance on "Chuck" I enjoyed last year). I also like the idea of Seth Green, though he's a bit too old, although he certainly looks young. Ben Foster would be cool as well, but that guy has a movie career going on.

Sierra, I know Joss wants someone who's not Caucasian, but I thought of Rachel Nichols or Alexa Davalos (though Alexa Davalos would probably work, since she does seem to have a different ethnicity. Besides, I don't really know any Asian actresses who would work in that role (or are available).

Boyd. I'd say Mark Sheppard, but he looks too sneaky. I like Victor Garber, but again, he's working on "Eli Stone". Forest Whitaker would be a long shot, mostly because he is a movie star. I also doubt that Kevin Spacey would work for television. :(

Victor. If this character would only need looks, then I'd probably go with Matthew Bomer, Kuno Becker or Mike Vogel. But this character needs a good actor who can do it all. That's why I am not sure whether the above mentioned would be up to the task. Ryan Gosling or Ryan Reynolds would be awesome as well, but they are already established movie stars who probably won't do television again.

November. No idea, since I know mostly of anorexic looking Hollywood chicks. But some America Ferrera kind of girl would be great (though America has lost a lot of weight).

As for Claire Sanders, I'd once again mention Stephanie Romanov. I guess that part would be better for her than the part of Adele.

But just like I mentioned in the beginning, I'd prefer faces I've never seen before.</description>
