For fanfic I definitely think in terms of casting, helps me to think about an OC when I have some acting to watch and mull over in terms of characterization.

The Retribution Cast

Colter Irving: Sam Elliot

Zaira Sabah Serra: Linda Carter (a stretch in terms of looks but I think she would nail the character)

Hershel Reynolds: Tom Sellick

Ezra Reynolds: James Macavoy

Pacey Reynolds: Gregory Smith

Tasya: Sarah Wayne Callies

Rising Sun Crew

Captain Virgil East: Will Smith

Genevieve Wilhelm: Carrie Ann Moss

Roxy Crick: Kiera Knightly

Jovie Masumoto: Grace Park

Zebulon Pike Hamir: Naveen Andrews

Sterling: Not an actor, the cyborg was created with Treasure Island's Long John Silver in mind (Sterling is the cook and a weapon's specialist, a bear of a man missing an arm and eye, the softest one of the crew but the most dangerous possibly). I also took from Treasure Planet with his cyborg eye and arm.

Alot of characters lacking a face still, particularly Fiyero, River's sweetheart. Dunno who would fill those shoes....

Hey! I figured out who I want to be "cast" as Allan and Zoe's daughter in My Heritage series.

Leona Lewis. She's a bit older than 15 (23) but she looks like what I imagine Sara to look like.

Over at www.stillflying.net, we did a virtual cast for every episode (although I think we're a few eps behind).

We pulled mostly from guest starts in recent TV shows to keep the "feel" of the cast consistent, although we did indulge in periodic "stunt casting" (including Trip from ENTERPRISE as a sort of "dark Mal" character and Briscoe County's Lord Bowler as the leader of a paramilitary bounty hunter unit).

Recurring characters for Season Two include Tim DeKay as Bernabe (one of the leaders of Haven and an old friend of the crew), Chris Marquette as Ben Hicks(a hacker/thief who survives Haven and winds up on Serenity for a while), and Jessalyn Gilsig as Nico (a merc pilot who is initially an enemy but who "subs" on the crew when Wash and Zoe temporarily settle down). Alex Carter also appears a Chien, an Alliance soldier who serves as the Operative's "sidekick."

I cast my OC Lilah Linn in "Keeping On."

My choice was Stephanie Jacobsen, after I saw her play Jessie in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I had some doubts because the Summer Glau connection, but I kept going back to her again and again.

So, Stephanie Jacobsen plays Lilah Linn in the Keeping On 'Verse, and she's who I imagine when I'm writing.

Boy.. talk about resurrecting a thread.. almost a year?

Glad you did though since I really got into the "casting" idea with my New Blood/Guardians series.

I cast Laura Prepon as Maxine, Katie Leung as Xue Li Washburn, Anna Sophia Robb as Jessie Clarke, Hale Berry as Roberta (Bobbie) Williams, Lucy Clarkson as Mia Slater.

I still need to cast Xue's love interest Scott.

I really need to start reading Firefly fic again. I guess that's what happens when I start playing around in new fandoms.

I have ideas as to who I see playing Lilah's former squadron members (Hopper and Hammer), who we'll see later in the series (if I ever find the time to write it), but one I'm still shaky on.
