Alivia
Michelle Pfeiffer
Alivia is arguably the most important Seanchan in the book so it seems logical to start with her. She is described as having blue eyes and golden yellow hair with some white. She is quite old but the power has kept her looking somewhat young. She is also supposed to be tall. Because of Alivia's mysterious nature and possible betrayal of Rand, I chose Michelle Pfeiffer to play her. Not only does she look the part but she has played mischievous roles numerous times. You may know her from Scarface, Ladyhawke, Batman Returns, A Midsummer Night's Dream, White Oleander, Hairspray, and Stardust. (You may not be able to tell, but I really really am a fan of Michelle Pfeiffer).Tuon
Gabrielle Union
Tuon is described as having dark skin. She is young and thin. I imagine her having a perpetually pissed off and/or uninterested air about her which Gabrielle Union does a great job of. Once I found Gabrielle for Tuon, I couldn't even consider anyone else. You may know her from the Tv show 7th Heaven, the movies 10 Things I Hate About You and Bring It On, or more recently on the Tv shows Ugly Betty, Life, and Flash Forward.Egeanin
Lucy Lawless
You knew she was going to show up somewhere! Lucy Lawless is perfect to play a tough ship captain of the Seanchan Empire. Nobody can play this role as well as this warrior princess. (By the way I stole this idea from another fan cast list). You may know her as Xena or more recently from Battlestar Galactica or the Spartacus tv shows.Anath
Joy Bryant
Semirhage masquerades as Anath at one point. The character would not have much on screen time but I feel it is important. She is one of Tuon's retainers. Since Semirhage is dark-skinned I just assumed Anath would be too but I honestly can't remember from the books. You may know her from the movie Honey, the Tv show ER, or the recent Tv show Parenthood.Renna Emain
Jordana Brewster
Renna is described as having long brown hair and brown eyes. She is short and is relatively young. Couldn't you just see her putting an a'dam on Egwene's pretty neck?Selucia
Cameron Diaz
Selucia is described in the books as a blue eyed, blonde haired beauty with creamy skin. She is supposed to be around forty years old. Selucia is Tuon's so'jhin and she is known to be deadly. Cameron can definitely handle this role. You may know her from The Mask, Charlie's Angels, The Holiday, What Happens in Vegas, and Knight and Day.Suroth
Demi Moore
An important darkfriend and Seanchan, Suroth is described as having black eyes and dark hair. Suroth is definitely a bitch and Demi can pull that off really well. Also, Suroth has the sides of her head shaved and I just so happened to find a picture of Demi so you know she can pull off a shaved head. You may know her from Ghost, A Few Good Men, The Scarlett Letter, and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
Turak
Kevin Durand
The only male Seanchan I chose to cast was Turak. He is described as tall with dark eyes and a completely shaved head. He is a blademaster and is a pretty arrogant guy. I feel like Kevin Durand would play this role well. Also, I would love to see him fight with the actor I chose for Rand. You may know him from the Tv shows Stargate SG-1 and Dark Angel as well as the movies The Butterfly Effect, Wild Hogs, 3:10 to Yuma, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Robin Hood, and I Am Number Four. He is probably most famous for his role on the Tv show Lost.
