Wheel of Time Casting Suggestions October 2018
by scottsteele-96047 | created - 06 Oct 2018 | updated - 07 Oct 2018 | PublicPlease comment any and all additional character casting requests, I just figured 100 was enough to start with. If anyone actually reads this I'll add rationals for picks. Thanks to all the WoT fans that have been building these types of lists for decades, by which my picks are heavily inspired. *Some* of you have great taste!
(Sorry the order is such a mess!)
Background for my ethnic head-canon:
(*With exceptions! globalization is a thing y'all*)
Andor - England
Shienar - Highlands of Japan
Kandor - South Korea
Arafel - Tibet/Mongolia
Saldaea - Rajput/Indian
Tarabon - Spain (Tanchico - Barcelona)
Altara - Brazil (Ebou Dar - Rio de Janero)
Arad Doman - Persian, Ottoman (Bandar Eban - Babylon)
Illian - Italian lowlands (Rome)
Cairhien - France 14c
Tear - French Riviera (mediterranean)
Murandy - Navarre/Basque
Ghealdan - Northern England
Atha'an Miere - Southern Indian sub-continent (Tamil/Chola)
Shara - Its a big place! Likely representative of the African Continent with Saharan, Jungle, Highlands, and plains ethnicities, among others.
Seanchan - Mix of everything
Aiel - Celtic/Ojibwe/Uyghur (depends on character)
*** ON AIEL***
I know they are supposed to be Celtic-ninja-giants, however... I have an *extremely* hard time imagining the people group sharing my melanin deficiency and surviving in the Aiel Waste. I realize they've adapted culturally, but I still struggle with it. When Aiel characters aren't being explicitly described in the books I tend to imagine them as some combination of North American Ojibwe, and Central Asian Uyghur (who have high instances of red hair to boot!).
I know these geo-ethnic generalizations are GENERALIZATIONS, and don't match the text 100%. It is head-canon, deal with it (or better yet, change my mind).
Even though many of the actors and actresses I grew up imagining when reading the books for the first time (2005-2008) have now "aged-out" of their roles, I had fun looking up the newer actors and replacing some conventional roles with hot takes!
I recommend using the website listal.com to find recent pictures of the actors & actresses, as often the imdb pics are no longer representative.
Enjoy!

my sleeper pick to see if my girlfriend reads this list. Before she introduced me to orphan black i always imagined Cate Blanchett here. Blanchett is a fantasy queen, to be sure, but Kennedy has a physicality and a poise that feels earned and real, a self-made woman at her peak like Morgase.
