My BG2 fancast

[u/Due_Palpitation001]

Got inspired by last fancast post and made this!
Some of them are not so famous to save budget for production quality, realistically LOL

[u/vierhuntert9zehn]

Dichen is a great pick!

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/vierhuntert9zehn]

Thanks!

[u/RangersAreViable]

I could see Criston Cole’s actor from HotD as Anomen

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/RangersAreViable]

Someone would say they're the same character lol

[u/the_dust321]

*not a single thought behind those eyes 😂 that made me laugh,

These are perfect except Aerie! Shree gonna need another 10 years

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/the_dust321]

Glad it was fun! 😁

[u/Nerdy_Chad]

Richard Armitage would make a fantastic Irenicus.

Johnny Depp for Cernd.

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/Nerdy_Chad]

I tried to think of someone for Cernd, but realised i haven't seen any native american actor besides that werewolf guy from Twilight

[u/Nerdy_Chad → u/Due_Palpitation001]

Johnny Depp could also make a good Haer'Dalis, I suppose.

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/Nerdy_Chad]

If he was younger? Definitely

[u/pmw8 → u/Due_Palpitation001]

Never thought of Cernd as Native American. He's more like a hippie. He lived in Athkatla before abandoning his family to become a druid.

[u/Moose_Mafia → u/pmw8]

That's fair, he really does feel like some guy who just ran away from home. His portrait gives off indigenous vibes in my opinion though.

[u/RainbowBullsOnParade]

Michael Shannon as Keldorn would be so fun

[u/Omnimon → u/RainbowBullsOnParade]

Shannon is just the goat, he would fit very well

[u/dcooper8662]

I think the Shannon casting is inspired here. He’s typecast as the villain and this would be a cool role to see him do

[u/LoveTriscuit]

I kinda want to see Anthony Starr as the player character, let the poor guy be a good guy for a change.

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/LoveTriscuit]

I feel like he's kinda old to play Imoens sibling rn, but you can check Banshee show where he plays mc lead, great show!

[u/FastestG]

Nice idea with Hopper for Minsc

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/FastestG]

Thanks, i think he would do great

[u/synthmemory]

I like Michael Shannon for the look and he's one of my favorite capable actors, but he needs to play a villain. His deadpan delivery and psychotic dead stare is not suited for a protagonist 

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/synthmemory]

Keldorn is not the protagonist though, and not quite 100% positive person.. I think his acting would suit Keldorn's passion and aggression towards the unrighteous

[u/synthmemory → u/Due_Palpitation001]

Ah you're correct, my definition of protagonist is off. I meant generally on the side of the heroes. 

What about him as the disguised Firkraag?

I could buy him imperiously approaching me in a bar as a nobleman and tasking me with something, then telling me I'm a worm beneath his lordly notice

[u/Moose_Mafia → u/synthmemory]

Here me out now...Christopher Walken for Firkraag. Your "telling me I'm a worm beneath his lordly notice" reminded me of him comparing himself and Charlie to a lion and a mouse in Kangaroo Jack lol.

Kangaroo Jack - Christopher Walken

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/Due_Palpitation001]

But i agree that he would be a great villain also.. Maybe someone from the sidequests?

[u/luffyuk]

Love the Steve Carell shout!

I just want Andy Serkis as motion capture Boo

[u/DungeonAssMaster]

Jaheira and Keldorn are spot-on!

[u/Beginning_Rip_4570]

I’ll give you the Anomen and Keldorn picks

[u/minivergur]

I feel in my bones that Aerie should be played by Anya Taylor-Joy

Other alternatives that I would suggest is Michael B Jordan for Valygar and maybe someone like Ben Kingsley for Jan

[u/bonjourellen]

Armitage for Irenicus is inspired, as is Emily Carey for Nalia.

[u/kimba-pawpad]

YIKES I feel old—I don’t know any of these actors (EEEK!) [taking an invisibility potion so I can skulk away in shame… 🫨] I did like the idea of Bautista as Minsc.

[u/Who_is_Daniel]

Really good choices

[u/Fuzzy-Visit-7453]

Ugh not Carell

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/Fuzzy-Visit-7453]

What about Sam Rockwell?

[u/Fuzzy-Visit-7453 → u/Due_Palpitation001]

Oh absolutely yes!

[u/GargamelLeNoir]

Guys you get that we can't cast a white chick as Viconia right? Watch the D&D episode of Community if you don't see what I mean.

[u/luis-mercado]

Nah, you need a way better, older and commanding actor for Irenicus. Either Charles Dance or Jeremy Irons.

Ema Dumont is way hot and cute for Viconia.

Michael Shanon as Keldorn is actually PERFECT. Wish that occurred to me.

For Bhodi you’ll need an actress who specialize in dark, weird and physically demanding roles, so I’ll take Tilda Swinton. Bonus points that she already did my favorite cinema female vampire ever.

[u/melkortr]

Vin Diesel as Valygar or bust. Let him talk about his family.

[u/BootyWol5]

So valygar is just Vin Diesel right? I can’t be the only one that sees it

[u/slaYn1 → u/BootyWol5]

I see it too, and Nalia is Drew Barrymore

[u/Loostreaks]

Not having Danny de Vito as Jan is a crime.

[u/Xellirvine]

Richard. No question...

[u/Helpwithskyrim87]

It’s probably never going to happen, but the Baldur’s Gate series has huge potential as a TV show—if it’s done right.

[u/SquireRamza]

*Continues to not understand people who cast based on looks instead of talent*

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/SquireRamza]

I think each person on the list is quite talented in their own way, not everyone should be award after award winning generational talent to properly play a character

It's 50/50 type based and skill based cast i would like to say

[u/SahuaginDeluge]

I think I know three of these people

Michael Shannon could be great somewhere but not sure it would be Keldorn (Keldorn is George Clooney anyway)

I don't know him but Richard Armitage looks decent for Irenicus. I don't know what he acts or sounds like though just going by that one pic. the other post mentioned Jeremy Irons who I also thought could work though he may be too old now. (he may also want absolutely nothing to do with fantasy after the D&D movie.)

[u/Fthku]

I disagree with so many in the start, but I can somewhat see some of them.

Nalia was based on Drew Barrymore, and they're both pretty annoying so that works! I always felt Anomen was based on Jason Priestly as well, and I think he'd do a great job at it too. Though he's quite a bit older now.

"Actor's sizes and looks are very important for voice acting"

[u/Due_Palpitation001 → u/Tchoupitto]

This post is about live action though
