If they can get Robert Carlyle...

[Madwelshboy]

threads like this are kinda funny!! i think its great to speculate to who mite be cast (its always fun to see if your right) but people never take into consideration if a actor has a good stable job. Do any of you think that for example Boreanaz or McKidd would give up their current jobs starin in network shows to appear on the sci-fi channel??

Avery Brooks would be awesome, but the guy is 60 years old- I would hope that he would be more than a colonel by that point. Now, if we're going to stick to Star Trek, I would love to see Alexander Siddig on tv again! It would be like the lovely accent show!

[GateGipsy]

Madwelshboy - this is more of a 'if the sky's the limit'' kind of thread than a what might actually be possible' one: our fantasies rather than realities.

Alexander Siddiq - oh yeah! He'd not be able to play Young though, I just don't see him as 'military'.

you know if we're going the whole fantasy route, what about Kurt Russel to play Young?

[PG15]

That would bring the Stargate franchise full circle, wouldn't it?

Imagine Young meeting O'Neill. That'd be epic.

[Krisz]

How about James Spader, we could have fun imagining that he is not Daniel Jackson in the latest incarnation of Stargate!

Or even have Gary Sinise, enough of him being on CSI, let him come and be handsome on Stargate!

[AvatarIII]

Sean Connery would be incredibly amazingly awesomely wicked cool. But I am 96.85841% sure that wouldn't happen. I would like to see Elisha Cuthbert or Justin Hartley, I think he would be a great Young, but he is a little older than they wanted.

i'm 100% sure it wouldn't happen


zooey deschanel.... she'd be great in it...

[GateGipsy]

oh if we're snagging actors from other shows, then I'm sticking with David Tennant

Oh oh oh oh I just had a great thought - well for me anyway. The utterly droolicious (and he can act too!) Gary Dourdan. Is he doing anything since leaving CSI Vegas?

[Crazedwraith]

If we're going for more brits: Gene Hunt! I mean Philip Glennister for Everrett Young.

[GateGipsy]

YES YES YES YES! Now I want to start a Philip Glenister for SGU campaign!

[Sp!der]

Joshua Jackson and John Noble wouldn't that be great? but to bad, they already doin' a tv show...damn.

You know James Spader is available now that Boston Legal has ended. He could be looking for another steady gig.

Worth a try...

Ohh, James Spader, definitely.

But maybe instead of reaching for amazing actors they should go the whole hog and confirm fan fears about SG:90210 by casting someone like Mischa Barton or anyone from a CW show.

no offence but, he is a horrible actor... just cause he's sexy dosn't make him good.

how about Patrick Currie, and in my dreams Currie Graham or even John Cusack would be wonderful. but I'll wait and see who they cast

I do like that thought! Those eyes! Could also kidnap George Eads while we're at it!

[AnnieS]

I have read that they want a big name for Colonel Young. So will be interesting to see who is cast
