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*
