Who Could Play These Comics-Only Characters the Best?

[vellavu]

Forget about budget. I have someone in mind and I will try reusing other Whedon show actors:

Leah: Ellen Page.
Rowena: ?
Satsu: Cloe Bennet (Quake/Skye).
Koh: Tahmoh Penikett (Paul Ballard).
Anaheed: Natalie Portman.
Billy: That stupid sparkling vampire from Twilight will do.
Sophie: ?
Lavinia: ?
Oz's wife: ?
Kid Giles: ?
Melaka: Dichen Lachman (Sierra).
Erin: ?
Harth: ?
Simone: Ming-Na Wen (Agent May).
Severin: Jake Gyllenhaal.
Aluwyn: ?

What's your opinion? And what more character/actor combinations do you want to add?

I'd love to see Summer Glau as Satsu, but I rather they pick a Japanese actress.

Summer can be Melaka though.

Here's some:

Koh: Manu Bennett (the guy is huge, ripped, can act and has a gravely voice. Don't know why Koh would have an Australian accent though...)

Leah: Eh, Karen Gillan (Leah's the redhead right?)

Anaheed: possibly Michelle Ryan (briefly was the bionic woman tv series). She isnt' so skinny, can do an American accent, and can throw a decent punch. Just put her in some glasses and a frumpy sweater.

Billy: In all fairness you need a hispanic guy who can pull off nerdy and good-looking. Any ideas? If not, that's okay.

Satsu: Jaime Chung (she knows a couple of martial arts and is good looking enough to turn Buffy's head)

Melaka: Briana Evigan (has the agility and physicality for the role from that silly dance-off movie I was forced to watch once. She made an impression though)

Harth: Colin Morgan (played Merlin in BBC's Merlin)

Simone: Maybe Katie Cassidy? She'd have to bulk a bit for the role but she can play grungy unhinged quite well.

Severin: How about any pretty boy from a YA series who could pull off emo? Yeah, not a fan.

Kid Giles: if you can't get Daniel Radcliffe (because he's too old now) then the kid who played young Uhtred in 'The Last Kingdom' he's good.

Aluwyn: Alex Kingston. CGI'd and seductive. I could see that.

IIRC Jane Espenson said Oz's wife Bay was modeled after Dichen Lachman, so there you go. Insta-Dollhouse cameo. There could even be a scene where she and Faith think they know each other from something.

I agree that Satsu would be great played by Jaime Chung. She was great in Samurai Girl as well as others.

How about Amandla Stenberg to play Renee?
