[Hmmm. Is part of the problem we are having LJ issues that they've changed the whole comments format?]
So we're really mostly basing it on looks and stuff they've done before, which may not be fair at all.
Particularly if you look at the casting for the Buffy series. Looking at Marsters with his dark curly hair and American accent, would you really have cast him as Spike? Or Sara Michelle Gellar coming off AMC - a bitchy Brunette, who acted a lot like Cordelia?
Or how about Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Afraid of Virigina Woolf?
Really can't go by what they've previously been or look in photos. Actors, I've discovered, at least the good ones, tend to be professional chameoleons. Have to wait and see.
