The late Erland van Lidth de Jeude would have been a perfect
Baldanders. He actually played a naviscaput in "Time Bandits," and we
all know that's how Baldanders would have ended up in time.<br>
<br>
Marilyn Monroe was the only person who could have played Jolenta. I
think Wolfe said explicitly that she "was" Jolenta.<br>
<br>
The young Natalie Wood would have been perfect for Dorcas. Anne
Hathaway isn't such a bad choice among contemporary actors though.<br>

Silk: A young Robert Redford
Marble and Mint: CGI with unknowns as voiceovers
Crane: Geoffrey Rush - don't laugh, look at him as Trotsky in "Frida"
Blood: Alfred Molina
Severian: is really hard to cast. Viggo Mortensen might almost work but
not quite. Maybe Mandy Patinken ca. "Princess Bride"?
Jolenta: Selma Hayek
Dorcas: Anne Hathaway, but a bit older
Dr. Talos: Jonathan Frid
Baldanders: another hard one; a body builder of some sort, magicked
even larger by the wonders of SFX. But not Ahnold.
Jonas: Bruce Boxleitner
Someone else take over here.

Arguing over imaginary casting choices for minor literary characters is
probably as trivial as a conversation can be, but I'm surprised to find how
strongly I feel that your Dorcas choice is hopelessly wrong. I'm thinking
Samantha Morton.
