If you were in charge of casting for Joss, which perhaps under-appreciated actors would you insist get roles on a Joss project?



Me, I would insist on casting General Hospital's Rick Hearst. I'd hate to lose him from GH, but I think his prodigious talent could be better used elsewhere. On GH, he consistently takes crap writing (they don't seem to know what to do with his character) and turns it into Emmy gold. I think he's easily the best actor on the show. He can take lines that are just complete and utter crap that contradict his lines from like a month ago and still give a nuanced performance that makes me believe every word. It is the acting and not the writing that makes me root for this character even when he's doing horrible things (like chaining pregnant women to walls in panic rooms and sleeping with his wife's daughter). For some unknown reason, GH keeps him on the backburner. I'd want Joss to give him a role that would let him shine.

On Youtube, I found a video that shows his range. Ooh - and here's another one that I just love (it shows off more than his acting). The second one shows him as a family man and as a really sexy man. Neither of those videos are mine. See what you think. Can you see him kicking butt - or whatever they're going to do - with Eliza Dushku in Dollhouse? Or on some other show?



What do YOU think Of Rick Hearst? Would you choose him?

If you wouldn't choose Rick Hearst, who would you choose to perform in the Jossverse and why would you choose him/her?
 
Kristen Bell isn't exactly under appreciated right now, but she is already close enough to consider her Whedonverse by affiliation IMHO. I'd also like to see cast members from Wonderfalls (in particular Lee Pace and Caroline Dhavernas) appear on a Whedonverse show.

I think it would be cool if they drew some of the new characters in the comics like those actors, although that probably would never happen.

I would have loved to see Kristen Bell in the Whedonverse it would make my life!!!!
 
Katherine Heigl...again she isn't exactly lacking recognition but I think she would be great in the Jossverse
 
Tina majorna? I think that's her last name! Under appreciated but brillian! She was hilarious in Napolean Dynamite and Veronica Mars.
 
Kristen Bell is Veronica Mars and Katherine Heigl was Isobel Evans on Roswell and is currently Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy and was the femal lead in Knocked Up...I don't know who the others are

Nice one! She'd have been awesome in anything Joss.

PalabraV - she was the kid in Corrina Corrina w/ Whoopi Goldberg. And one of the kids in When A Man Loves A Woman. There's more but that's what I know for sure. So far though, my favorite role of hers is definitely Deb in Napoleon Dynamite. It's that whole movie and cast really. Good call Wanabee-slayer. 🙂

Ah. *Now* I know who she is. Thanks!

Ah, yes! Thanks!

I can see Kristen Bell in the Jossverse. Veronica Mars is over and she'll be looking for work. Katherine Heigl would be smart to stay where she is, though. A Fox Joss show would be a step down for her, given that he tends to have a cult following and she right now has mainstream appeal.

yeah it would be step away from the mainstream but i still think she would work well in his verse...I heard few people mention Hayden Pentierre too..im not totally convinced though
