Casting a known lead for SGU

[Falcon Horus]

What about Michael Chiklis? The Shield is finishing up this season. I think he'd rock it out pretty well. Or John Larroquette (Boston Legal), though he may be a bit older than they are looking for. Kelsey Grammar would be interesting but he's already got a new show. I'd say Avery Brooks but the breakdown makes Young sound a little too Benjamin Sisko as it is (though that's not a bad thing, IMHO).

At least I knew who RDA was, or at least MacGuyver. I have absolutely no clue who these people are, and I'm probably not the only one. Except for Avery Brooks, but without Sisko I wouldn't have known him either

They've been around for a while. Not everyone is expected to know ever actor out there. Though if you've seen the Fantastic Four films, Chiklis was The Thing.

EDIT: Throwing John Glover on my wishlist.

I haven't but I do remember trailers and images, so that's one crossed off the list. Thanks.

I say Kevin Sorbo, & heck I wonder if they will try getting Dean Cain again since they wanted him as John Sheppard originally didn't they ?

[StoyBoy720]

They tossed around a few names for Sheppard. Ben Browder was also on that list.

This thread has now run its course, so I'm going to close it. If anyone wants to discuss Robert Carlyle's casting, there is a thread for that.

i think now that we know who it is, we don't need a speculation thread any longer
