Casting Feed

This won't mean much to those who haven't read Feed and the subsequent books. But if you haven't then you should feel a bit left out, like you're missing out on something, because you are. It's a fantastic series and it should either be in your hands or already inside your heads.

Now that the Newsflesh series has been optioned for film the wife and I spent most of our waiting in line moments at Hershey Park (rain and maintenance delays leave a bit of thumb twiddling time) driving ourselves mad trying to figure out who should be cast. We've been refining it since then as we've both been finishing up the series.So here's the list of characters we tackled and who who we came up with.

Sean Mason - Thomas Dekker

Georgia Mason - Allison Scagliotti

Georgette "Buffy" Meissonier - Leven Rambin Alona Tal

Mahir Gowda - Alessandro Juliani (Not Indian) Sendhil Ramamurthy (too old) Aziz Ansari

Nandini "Nan" Gowda - Rekha Sharma

Dr. Kelly Connolly - Anna Kendrick

Senator Peter Ryman - Stephen Moyer Jon Hamm

Emily Ryman - Lauren Graham

Rick Cousins - Tom Hiddleston

Rebecca "Becks" Atherton - Emma Stone

Alaric Kwong - John Cho (too old, but doesn't look it, but I can't think of any other age appropriate Asian actors)

Dave Novakowski - Neil Grayston

Magdalene "Maggie" Garcia - Natalie Morales

Dr. Shannon Abbey - Melissa McCarthy

Stacy Mason - Teri Hatcher

Michael Mason - Alan Tudyk
