Recasting

[cdybedahl]

You've all seen casting threads before. But a thread on Pyramid Magazine's forum has an interesting variant -- take a show or series (they're doing Jesus Christ Superstar) and re-cast it entirely with actors who appeared in Buffy, Angel or Firefly. So, for example, XWP:

Xena...	Charisma Carpenter
Gabrielle...	Michelle Trachtenberg
Joxer...	David Boreanaz
Ares...	Nathan Fillion
Callisto...	Sarah Michelle Gellar
Aphrodite...	Morena Baccarin
Caesar...	Anthony Stewart Head
Ephiny...	Alyson Hannigan
Alti...	Stephanie Romanov
Eli...	Nicholas Brendon
Salmoneus...	Seth Green
Cleopatra...	Gina Torres
Eve...	Eliza Dusku
Autolycus...	Alexis Denisof
Amarice...	Jewel Staite
Varia...	Iyari Limon

Or The Princess Bride:

Westley...	Sarah Michelle Gellar
Princess Buttercup...	James Marsters
Prince Humperdinck...	Alyson Hannigan
Inigo Montoya...	Charisma Carpenter
Fezzick...	Amber Benson (with special effects to make her look eight feet tall)
Count Rugen...	Emma Caulfield
Vizzini...	Morena Baccarin
Miracle Max...	Summer Glau
The Albino...	Amy Acker

And in something only vaguely related, was Amy Acker really this pretty when she was on Angel?

The Princess Bride casting made my head explode.

In my opinion, Amy was that pretty...
