Poll winner and casting call

[jaye_voy]

Hello,

By a margin of four votes, it's Prince Karl II: A young prince (Karl) ambushed in an untamed land is forced to hide his royal connections when he falls into the hands of a local warlord (Sean). Sean 34/Karl 21 I probably won't begin posting this story until it's essentially done.

Now, Karl's companions are all cast, but I'll admit I'm going to have a problem filling Sean's side of the story. You see, other than Eomer, the last blond I fancied in and of himself was A.J. Simon back in the day. (Now I tend to only notice a blond if he's paired with a personal fave, like Chakotay/Paris, Sawyer/Sayid, Karl/Sean, etc.)

So...here's a casting call: pitch me any blond actors and/or blonde actresses you'd like to see strolling around Sean's medieval-type castle. All ages, but they should be living and acting right now.

Jaye

Well, if John Simm (who's brilliant btw) counts as blond, then I think Ewan McGregor should as well, although he's more of a redhead. And Dave and Viggo (*points at icon*) are total musts, I second skegirl. :P

Can't believe I can't think of more, I have a minor blond fixation in RL *snort*. There is, of course, Jude Law, but I think he's vile.

Vincent Cassell, perhaps? Red-blond-brown or sth. Not sure how his name is spelt, but he was in Oceans 12 and will be in Eastern Promise.

And how could I forget Daniel Craig?? Not in his Bond-beefcake-state, but in an earlier, still muscled but lean incarnation, e.g. from Love is the Devil (minus the black dye job, of course).

And my latest favourite blond is Simon Woods, Octavian in Rome. If you find his pompous, cold-hearted manner off putting, it's worth remembering that he was an adorable, shy, stuttering and strawberry blond Mr. Bingley in a previous role.

As for the girls, I second Cate Blanchett, as advocated above.

Hope you had a nice break and I'm really looking forward to seeing this come to life!
