Raineypark & Carol are major John karlan/Willie fans, Josette. I don't think they've got anything to complain about. But I'm still waiting with baited breath to hear what they think, lol. I think the choice of actor for Willie Loomis is superb. Glad he doesn't look like a thug or freak. I think that Karlan was so likeable as Willie and I think that it is the key to the Willie Loomis character. Hopefully he'll be written that way, this guy looks like he can pull it off.
The choice of actor for Barnabas is exactly what I'd hoped for. And I hope they keep him blond. Barn's the main character and I think they need to think out of the box with him. I think Barn should be attractive and seductive first. His old world manner & charm should be icing on the cake. It makes sense to me that the female (and male) characters should be immediately drawn to him before he even opens his mouth. They should want to believe him where with anyone else, they'd be suspicious.
The kid chosen to play David looks right to me also. I feel good about the choice based on the photo, which is all I have to go on at this point.
I'm looking forward to hearing personal opinions from Forums members who have actually seen performances from the actors chosen to play these characters.
What an incredible month this has been on the Forums! All this breaking news about the pilot and the rare pic's from the original series that have been posted as late. I'm as excited as a three peckered billy goat and as happy as a clam! Thanks to all who have contributed.
