I was just wondering if you could choose any actor, which ones would you choose to make an imaginary SR team? Also, what's the reason that you choose them and for which position would you place them in? I was trying to peg down the perfect team but really couldn't get past the magic guy. For me, the only guy who could pull of a real deal magic user, to get down the creepy feel would be Christoper Walken.

No way...Walken would have to be Cybered Joe, the cold remorseless killer who doesn't think about anything he does. :D

Jean Reno as the crusty Decker, full of bitterness who decks so he doesnt have to see what the world has become.

Samurai - The Rock (Since Ahnold is a bit too old)
Adept - Jet Li (Same with Jackie Chan) Gunslinger - Colin Ferrel (Just because he's that damn cool) Mage - Liv Tyler (FotR, she just looked so cool with the pointy ears casting a spell) Decker - Mathew Lillard (Ever seen Hackers? Mr. Cerial Killer) Face - Jason Lee (Listen to the guy spout out fast-paced Kevin Smith dialog and you'll understand) Rigger - The guy that plays Mini-Me (because all riggers are dwarves you know) I tried to think of a shaman, but there are few roles like that for actors. The Abstruse One |

Outfitted with Robbie Coltrane's fake beard in "Harry Potter", because all dwarves got beards you know ;). As for me, I've said it before; Rutger Hauer and Christopher Lambert. I don't care about the rest, as long as H & C is the protagonists and the movie is set in the SR universe. |

Jean Reno, Al Pacino, and Robet DeNiro. Especially Robert DeNiro. Check out Ronin, Heat, and The Recruit.
And definately not Sean Bean. I don't need more fuckups and dead guys (since he never seems to get any other role). |

Ronny Cox (Total Recall), James Earl Jones, Patrick Stewart, James Woods - Mr Johnson - although I guess that's not strictly a team member.
Jude Law, Angelina Jolie - the Face Jewel Staite (Firefly), Johnny Depp - Hermetic Mage Adrian Paul (Highlander, the Series - would also make a cool Druid), Lou Diamond Phillips - PhysAd Johnny Lee Miller, Corin Nemec (The Stand, SG1), John Cusack (Grosse Pointe Blank) - Decker Jason Statham (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the Transporter) - Combat Decker Angella Basset (Strange Days), Christopher Judge (Teal'c from SG1) - Samurai Rodney A. Grant (Ghosts of Mars, Wild Wild West), Robert Beltran (Star Trek: Voyager), Rawiri Paratene (Whale Rider) - Shaman Keanu Reeves as "third corpse from the left" Sean Bean as the pessimistic ex-Merc tactician - Cykotek, watch the "Sharpe" series... he plays a great military commander, with just the right ammount of "hands on" gruffness Either Clea DuVall (Ghosts of Mars) or Ellen Muth (Dead Like Me) would make a great "Weapons Specialist" (the latter if you cut and dyed her hair...) look at the picture, you'll see what I mean... Benicio Del Torro as the Blood Mage/dodgy Aztechnology Agent Can't be arsed to think of any more for now... |

Coyote Shaman: Christopher Walken. You all know I'm right here.
Physad: I think I'd throw Milla Jovovich up here, just because I have a crush on her, and some of the badass fight scenes in Fifth Element. Rigger: Gary Coleman.(G.C. for Cali4nia Recall!) Drug Addict Decker: Johnny Depp(So it's easy to picturee him in the fear and loathing in las vegas gear with a bright silver datajack in his forehead) |

You have to have Christopher Walken. I'd have him play a supporting role with a lot of menace, maybe Loftweir in human form or Darke. I'd have to try to find an excuse to make him dance at some point in the movie.
For a hermetic, I'd have to go with Winonna Rider. Check out the end of Dracula and you'll see what I mean. Chow Yun Fat would make a great adept, but I'd go with Jet Li. Other options, Jessica Alba (Dark Angel) of Eliza Dushku (Faith on Buffy). Michelle Rodriguez (Resident Evil) as a street sam or combat decker. Vin Diesel might work for a street sam, maybe an ork. Jenna Elfman as an elven shaman. Monica Keena (Snow White or Crime & Punishment in Suburbia) as a former corporate daughter turned rogue, in Seattle for first time (ala Plus ca Change from SR2). Sigorney Weaver or Bruce Willis as the fixer. Robert Duvall or Tommy Lee Jones as Mr. Johnson. Ryan Phillippe (54) as Damen (the dragon). Tom Hanks or Mel Gibson as the extraction target. |

Anthony Michael Hall as the Shaman.
Ralph Fiennes as the Face/BTL-user. Kelly Hu as the Samurai or Physad, definitely. Chow Yun Fat as a Samurai/former company man. Michael Biehn as the sniper with the thousand-meter stare. Thora Birch as the decker. Jude Law as the Hermetic Mage. Matthew McConaughey as the crazed Merc (anyone else here seen Reign of Fire?). And Christopher Walken as the Fixer. Whoever they get to play Johnson should be not too recognizable... :D |

I think my team would consist of Allyson Hannigan, Eliza Dushku, Shania Twain and Jennifer Love Hewitt and ALL the runs would consist of recovering some sensitive data from my pants.

That's why Chris Walken would be such a good spellcaster. Can you just imagine him saying something like: "I am NOW CASTing a SPEll, YOU are FALLing a SLEEP" |

Alright, my dream team:
-Wesley Snipes as the angsty phys-ad (Blade, anyone?) -Alyson Hannigan as the shaman -Jason Staham as the decker (from what i saw of him in "Snatch," he's got the right smart-assed attitude for it) -Ron Perlman as the street sam (definitely got the stone-cold/sharp tongue routine; anyone who's seen "Blade 2" and "Alien: Resurrection" knows that) -Michael Biehn as the team's conscience/weapons expert/gunslinger -Michelle Rodriguez (sp?) as the electronics/B&E expert and second gunslinger -Nicholas Cage as the rigger (I haven't seen "Gone in 60 Seconds", but from the promos I've seen of him from that movie, it makes sense) -James Woods as the ticked-off veteran street sam that stays on to ensure that the young turks don't get overconfident and get themselves killed -Nicholas Brendon (Xander from "Buffy") as the team's mage/comic relief (hey, every team needs a comedian) -Jesse L. Martin (Detective Green from "Law & Order") as The Face (there's some episodes where his character does a really good acting job to get information from suspects) -Kris Kristofferson as the grizzled veteran-turned-fixer |

Johnny Depp is good for ANY role. I firmly believe he is the single best "star-calibre" actor of his age range in America today. If anyone questions this, watch three movies by him and tell me he doesn't COMPLETELY fall into any character he's given: Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The man is just that damn good. Give him ANY roll and he'll nail it.
Oh, and I forgot James Gandolfini as the mob capo. And Steve Buscemi as Mr. Johnson And Quinten Tarantino as the bartender who knows everyone And yes, Chow Yun Fat as the Company Man Andy Sorkin as something -- ANYTHING -- just because he kicked ass as Golem Kevin Conway as Damien Knight (he does the voice of Batman in the animated series, but look at his picture on IMDB and tell me he's not perfect for it) Michael Clark Duncan as the Troll Shaman or the cyberzombie, one of the two Chris Barrie as Michael Surehand (I think that's his name -- the decker from Prime Runners and the novel Nosferatu...and you damn well BETTER know who Chris Barrie is smegheads) Carrie Anne Moss as...well, does anyone really give a damn what role she plays as long as she wears skin-tight pleather? Tom Cruise as the guy on the streets trying to get people to join the Universal Brotherhood (hey, if anyone knows how to play someone trying to convince people to join an evil cult, it'd be a Scientologist!) Where's the 20,000¥ question though...who plays Fastjack? The Abstruse One |

That would be Hugh Jackman. Lance Hendriksen as the J! :D Halle Berry as free spirit/fixer whats-her-name, from "Dead Air". Bob Goldthwait, aka Mr. Zed from Police Academy as Panicky Citizen #4. But the REALLY important question would be: who gets to play harley :grinbig: |

Johnny Depp gets Laughing Man IMHO. He's a damn good actor and has proven he can play every aspect of Harlequin. Look at Cry Baby, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Sleepy Hollow. Put those three characters in a blender and you have a pretty decent basis for Harlequin to start from.
Plus he can pull off the long-haired pony tail thing pretty well as seen recently in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. The Abstruse One |
