New Animorphs Television Series: Actors/Voice Actors
« on: August 12, 2013, 10:02:40 PM »
     Stop me if you've seen this before. Here's the part of the many, many hypothetical Animorphs TV series discussions I've started. Here, we shall discuss who we want to play our characters in the new series.

     Ideally, I would want the kids to be played by unknowns--to prevent disney channel stars from getting cast as our heroes. However I wouldn't be against casting B or A-listers to play the adult roles.

     You may be wondering: what's the point of this if you're excluding well known child actors? Well, I figured we'd all just search the interwebs or teen magazines (optional, since I don't expect anyone to do that) and post pictures of those we think would fit the role well. I read once that that's where K.A. and Michael Grant get the image of many of their characters--for the covers.

     I got the idea for this after watching Firefly. I saw Nathan Fillion and just couldn't stop thinking that he would make an excellent adult Jake for the Familiar episode.

     Adult Jake: Nathan Fillion

     Human Elfangor: Christopher Ralph*

      Loren: Brooke Nevin*

     Or, hell, even adult Rachel in the bad future from Animorphs 7: The Stranger.

*I think having those actors play Elfangor and Loren would be both sweet, and a nice call back to the series that came before. Would be a nice reunion episode, too.

I'd want nothing but unknowns are the roles of the Animorphs because our current generation of child/teen actors have not proven to be anything even remotely talented outside of disney/nickelodeon (though I'll give credit to the iCarly cast. They succeed in actually being entertaining)


If Animorphs goes the animated route then we have:


Jake: Yuri Lowenthal, Johnny Yong Bosch, or Steve Staley (Sorry. Couldn't find any good clips for his voice)

Rachel: Michelle Ruff, Mae Whitman, or Cherami Leigh

Tobias: Yuri Lowenthal, Dave Wittenberg (he's another one I couldn't find voice clips for. Try and find watch his portrayal as Henry from the third season of Digimon if you're interested in what he'd sound like as Tobias), Jesse McCartney (listen to him playing Nightwing from Young Justice and Roxas from Kingdom Hearts)

Cassie: Cree Summer, Cherami Leigh, Danica McKellar (Listen to the clip from Young Justice), or Masasa Moyo (listen to her as Bumblebee in Young Justice) (Incidentally, she's already played Cassie once in the PC game)

Marco: Yuri Lowenthal, Todd Haberkorn (especially in Rosario Vampire, Fairy Tail, and Fullmetal Alchemist), Vic Mignogna, or (if we're going the Avatar route and having actors who are the same age as the characters they play) Logan Grove (Beast Boy)

Ax: Todd Haberkorn, Steve Staley, Dave Wittenberg, or Vic Mignogna
