Cormoran Strike

[SusanNorton]

I finally gave up. I googled for an hour last night: British actor male and British cinema and character actor and dark hair and dark eyes and rosy cheeks and heavy and big nose, etc.. I kept getting the same people over and over. One day I'll see him on the TV and scream.

And this is where Google is imperfect, because I keep getting pictures of Hugh Laurie and Adam Sandler!!

Oh, and this popped up, also:

You think this guy could play CS?

 

[SusanNorton]

Ooo - I just found an interesting prospect. His name is Karl Urban, and he's a New Zealander, not British, but he might work.

 

[SusanNorton]

But maybe he's a little too good looking? They could muss him up a bit.

A little young looking, I think, and a bit short--lol. We saw him wandering around the floor at FanX last year (he was very nice) and he's not very tall.

That hasn't stopped Tom Cruise. Just saying!

But how can you tell thru their pants?

I so want to comment on this, but I promised Dana et al that I would be good

There's a British character actor, and I have such a clear picture of him in my head, who would be perfect as CS. I can't remember if he was in Bridget Jones or Notting Hill, but he wasn't one of the primary characters. He was tall and not fat, but husky, with rosy cheeks and black hair and eyes and a big nose. I've scoured IMDB, looking at every British movie from Four Weddings and a Funeral to Love, Actually, but I can't find him. He looked like he could have been a much younger cousin of Stephen Fry, with pale skin and dark features. It's driving me mad!

I think I found him! I was watching Shaun of the Dead and there he was (the guy I was thinking of, anyway) :

Hey, Ski - he's a good option, but not the guy I was thinking about. Remember when she described CS as looking like Beethoven? The actor I'm thinking of looked like this, but with very dark hair:

SusanNorton Rufus Sewell?

 

[EMARX]

What about Robin?

 

[SusanNorton]

SusanNorton Rufus Sewell?

No! He sure is cute, though!

 

[SusanNorton]

What about Robin?

As I was reading, I pictured her as a young, British Bridget Fonda:

What are your thoughts for Robin?

 

[FlakeNoir]

No! He sure is cute, though!

He was the a$$hole in A Knight's Tale.
(*sigh* Heath.... )

This is Princess Diana's bodyguard, Trevor Reese, who I pictured as Comoran:

I like your choice. I'll have to put my thinking cap on.
