Accurate Casting? Bleh!

Now, they're making a miniseries based on the Earthsea series, ok? (First two books, I think).

The only little snag is the casting.

Observe...

Ogion: Danny Glover.


Interesting, not who I had in mind, but could work...

Thar: Isabella Rosselini


Ok.


Tenar: Kristin Kreuk

Hmmm...not sure, could work.


and finally..

Ged: Shawn Ashmore

WHAT THE? The novel specifically describes him as dark-skinned.Ol'Shawn is fairer than me! If you are going to have Ogion as African, Ged should at least be Middle-East/Indian level of darkness.

*grumble*
