Wheel of Time Fantasy Cast

The Emond's Fielders

Tam al'Thor
Russel Crowe
We have seen Russel Crowe many times in warrior roles and we know he can pull off a fighter. They would have to make him a bit older looking but this picture of Russel Crowe makes me think of Tam. His role in A Beautiful Mind actually made me think of him for Tam. You may know him from Gladiator, Cinderella Man, 3:10 to Yuma, and Robin Hood.





 

Bran al'Vere
William Shatner
Bran is described in the books as being somewhat round, short, and kindly but with an air of authority. I think Shatner is perfect for this role. This picture in particular looks exactly how I pictured Bran looking. You may know him from old school Star Trek or Miss Congeniality. Most recently William Shatner has famously appeared on the Priceline commercials.


Marin al'Vere
Madonna
Marin al'Vere is described as being slender and motherly. She has gray hair and is considered a handsome woman. I looked for an attractive older woman and I found her in Madonna who I think looks like a perfect fit to play Marin. You may know her as a famous singer and performer as well as movies like A League of Their Own or Die Another Day.








Haral Luhhan
"Stonecold" Steve Austin

Haral Luhhan is a huge man. He is the blacksmith of the village and therefore should have muscles the size of children. I wanted a pro wrestler or body builder to play the role rather than getting someone like Vin Diesel (Who I use as Shadair Haran). You may know him from Wrestlemania. Steve Austin has also done some acting though it is not extensive.








Alsbet Luhhan
Conchata Ferrell

A strong, leather-tongued blacksmith's wife? There is nobody better than Concahta Ferrell. You may know her from Two and a Half Men or Mr. Deeds.








Cenn Buie
Ian Holm
Cenn Buie is the oldest member of the Village Council and the biggest pain in the butt in the entire Two Rivers region. He is always grumbling about something and thinks everyone needs a good talking-to. Ian Holm could play this role well. You may know him from The Aviator, The Day After Tomorrow, and Lord of the Rings.








Padan Fain
Steve Buscami

Last but not least. Steve Buscami could easily play a peddler but when he becomes a Moridin/Shadow Darkfriend creature thing he has got to be creepy and twisted. Steve Buscami can do this without even trying. You may know him from Grown Ups, 30 Rock, Youth in Revolt, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Big Fish, Spy Kids, Mr. Deeds, and others.
