Wheel of Time Fantasy Cast

The Band of the Red Hand

Talmanes
Joseph Fiennes
Talmanes is a noble who needs to look like he can lead the Band while Mat is gone. He is also Cairhienen so I looked for someone with a prominent forehead. Joseph Fiennes matches all of these descriptions and this picture is even partly what I imagined Talmanes looking like. You may know him from The Merchant of Venice or from the recent Tv series Camelot and Flash Forward.







Lopin
Paul Giamatti
Nobody can play Lopin better than Paul Giamatti. He is the ideal manservant I admit I got this idea from another fantasy list but when I saw it I knew he was gold for this part. You may know him from the John Adams miniseries, Fred Claus, Shoot 'Em Up, The Illusionist, Cinderella Man, Paycheck, Planet of the Apes, and much much more.


 

Aludra
Claire Forlani
Aludra is described as having waist-length dark hair. She is in her 30s and she is pretty. Claire fits this description very well. From this picture I think she can pull off Aludra's fiery temper as well. You may know her from Meet Joe Black or from the recent Tv series Camelot.



Olver
Alex Wolff
Olver is an orphan boy that the band takes in. He's supposed to be a little scruffy and he begins to take after Mat and so he should have a little bit of a mischievous side. He is described as being ugly. Alex isn't exactly ugly but he's pretty average and they could pull off ugly with a little makeup. You may know him from the Naked Brothers Band.
