True Blood Fantasy Casting Call Poll

so [livejournal.com profile] superfrayed and I are still trying to pick our ideal Alcide and thanks to your suggestions I am now making a poll!

We have... 10 actors to choose from. Of course I'm including a reminder of what the character looks like and pictures of the candidates.

Note: this is fantasy casting. Who cares if said actor would never be on TV or is already on another show.



Description I included yesterday
He was huge. His eyes were green. His tousled hair was curly and thick and black as pitch. His brain buzzed and pulsed with energy; kind of a red effect. Werewolf.
[...]
Alcide Herveaux looked plenty tough. He was big as a boulder, with biceps that I could do pull-ups on. He would have to shave a second time if he planned on going out in the evening. He would fit right in on a construction site or a wharf.


He's protective and warm (vs the cold vampires) and likes leaning on walls while crossing his arms and is as tall as Eric (good luck with that). And can pull off a southern accent I guess, though this part can always be changed, or learned.


Oh and a few more things, I think Alcide is in his late 20's and Eric is 6' 4" (1.93 m) if you want to compare.

Who to play Alcide?



Jeffrey Dean Morgan, 43, 6' 2" (1.88 m)
(though he's too old and could be Daddy Herveaux? after all he plays Jensen&Jared's dad)








Channing Tatum, 29, 6' 1" (1.85 m)








Owain Yeoman, 31, 6' 4" (1.93 m)








Tahmoh Penikett, 34, 6' 2½" (1.89 m) (it was not MY idea, I swear)








Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, 39, 6' 2½" (1.89 m)








Colin Farrell, 34, 5' 10" (1.78 m)








Jake Gyllenhaal, 29, 6' (1.83 m)








Joe Manganiello, 32, 6' 5" (1.96 m) (that's Brad from HIMYM! lol)








Karl Urban, 37, 6' 1" (1.85 m)








Joshua Jackson, 31, 6' 2" (1.88 m)

he's in Parks&Recreation, right?

Yes, he is currently. But my favorite work of his are the roles in the indie-flicks Jesse James and Lars And The Real Girl.
