We have a thread about this, in the Season 1 section: http://forums.signumuniversity.org/index.php?threads/results.231/

But it's good to have it in the General section.

*Blushing*. I swear, I looked for this... but obviously I missed it. Ah, well. I'm just going to claim I was inspired by Ulmo to make a thread that can be added to as the seasons go on 😉

[Kathy Amen]

Thanks so much for doing this! I'm behind and I couldn't find it either.

Glad to be of service!

 

[Ange1e4e5]

Should we have cast Simon Woods? He seems to have retired from acting.

 

[Nicholas Palazzo]

Should we have cast Simon Woods? He seems to have retired from acting.

Surely, our unlimited budget will be enough to tempt him from early semi-retirement.

 

[Ange1e4e5]

True.

 

[MithLuin]

Does anyone know why his last acting credit is in 2008? If he just switched over to stage productions, then I see no harm in it, but if he's sworn off film for some reason, I see why it's somewhat problematic.

Fantasy casting being what it is, it's not a big deal. Our only real rules are that the actor be alive and be cast at his current age (no 'so-and-so from the 1980s').

 

[Ange1e4e5]

Nothing really on him since 2008, apart from marrying Christopher Bailey in 2012.

 

[Ange1e4e5]

Doesn't even seem to be in theatre.

Nobody i couldn't live with, but i am a bit surprised we have Gary Oldman as gandalf... though i have zero doubt he could pull that role.he's a true chamaelon and a great actor.

Part of it had to do with the longevity; they expect Oldman to last longer than Irons since Oldman is 10 years younger, and partly because Irons was too obvious a choice.

A small part, it seemed.

 

[Marielle]

Was there a re-cast of Caranthir decided?

 

[Ange1e4e5]

Was there a re-cast of Caranthir decided?

Well, when we did Season 3’s results, the Hosts decided they didn’t like any of the candidates. So we were sent back to the drawing board.
