>inb4 don’t push yer luck kid
I mean ideally the cast would mostly consist of actors from the Northeastern US to give it a little air of authenticity and maybe save on dialect coaches etc, but if this ever turned into a real thing I would probably have to make a few compromises. And I’d be fine with that if the actors were good enough!! As long as they stay close enough to my character concepts, I’m not looking to turn anyone white
Kim Eberhart: Mary Stuart Masterson duh this is the most definite thing, it’s literally the same role she played in the original when she was like 7 lmao
William Everett: I’m genuinely having trouble pinning him down lmao the dude has to be tall obviously, good at playing a complete bastard, not look too much like Matt Walsh to risk a lawsuit
Helen Van Sant/Olivia Murray: dunno man I did have Lea myren from the ugly stepsister in mind at first but then I gave her lines. the gal from portrait of god maybe?
Martha Huntington/Jasmine Wells: jayme Lawson!!! Pearline from sinners!!!
Susan Claybrook/Nina Blake: MIRREN MACK!!! Her out of 28 years later the bone temple, the redhead gal on the farm. Can she do an American accent?
Maria Schiavone (bit part): Gina vultaggio maybe? yknow. francis from keeper. The 1978 gal
Cece Thomas: definitely Helena Howard, she was in the in-universe tv show in I Saw The TV Glow
Evelyn Cornell/Ellie D’Amico: preferably a nonbinary actor
Jim Winterborough: rolls “Worst Joint Ever”, asked to leave Stepford Men’s Association IN ALL SERIOUSNESS maybe scoot mcnairy??? I just like that his name’s scoot like the duck from animal crossing lmao that’s funny
Darren Coba: Henry Thomas? That’s his fuckin name right?? The guy who played the little kid in ET???? the guy who Mike Flanagan basically has on speed dial??? anyway defo play darren as a massive cokehead
Dale Coba Jr.: i did have the guy who played Patrick O’Neal in feud: bette & Joan in mind at first but then I realised I miscalculated the ages of him and Darren so. bleugh. otherwise I keep picturing Dylan McDermott
Rosie Everett/Rachel Martinez: DUDE. RUBY CRUZ. she’s 5’3”, she’s part mexican, she’s GOTTA DO IT
Zach Taylor: idk I’m stumped! Obviously NOT a cis woman because the story makes it clear he’s been on T for a decade and has had top surgery. I would have said laraine newman’s son spike einbinder but that would mean him having to cut his lovely long locks 💔 in case it’s not obvious I’m really struggling lmao
Unnamed cab driver: guy who played doug driscoll in da pitt. yknow the asshole patient in season 1 who punches Dana in the face. Except he’s nice in this
Sally Buckley/Ryuko Takahashi: ideally a Japanese actress since Ryuko does speak Japanese in the script
Omar Shahbazi: definitely a MENA/SWANA guy but I’m not too picky about where specifically. Also I may be stupid but I do know the difference between Arabic and Indian cultures so if you cast a dude from Mumbai to play an Iranian guy I’m gonna assume you’re stupider than I am ❤️
Arthur Hendry: idk if you got ideas I’d love to hear em
Toni Velasquez (bit part): I mean if Rita from pixel grip’s ever wanted to be in a movie then I have just the role for them.
