Okay, a similar thread was locked down, so I'm trying to follow Tony K.'s instructions.

Another thing, I have ABSOLUTLY NO CLUE who the hot under 20 yrs. old actors/actresses are so I have no suggestions for Ed, Al or Winry.

Okay, Here I go:

Riza Hawkeye - Scarlett Johansen. I saw her on The Island and really liked her character there plus the movie. I think that she'd do pretty good.

Roy Mustang - Johnny Depp. Yes, I like Johnny but I also think that he is one of the most versatile actors around these days. I think that the man can play anything.

Kain Furey - Neil Grayston. You probably don't know this guy but he plays Fargo on Sci-Fi Channel's Eureka. http://tv.yahoo.com/tvpdb;_ylt=AkGAGZYNbT6cdl0YJBLBk8ZQx70F?d=tvi&id=1809723477&cf=ph&pgid=1809723478&photoid=970404359&pid=15 He's the guy with glasses on the left.

Pride/Bradley - John Travolta. I think that he could do it. Play the nice, friendly and cheerful ruler one minute then play the absolute SOB, cold-blooded, sword-wielding murderer the next.

Gracia Hughes - Reese Witherspoon. She just too cute and sweet.

Lust - Angelina Jolie. Yes, I'm being obvious. But, I think that she would work quite nicely.

Armstrong - Younger version of Hulk Hogan. Sorry, I'm also not up on the pretty boy, full-of-themselves wrestlers.

Greed - Adam Baldwin. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000284/ He was Independence Day and Serenity. No he's not one of the Baldwin brothers. This is probably a streach on my part but I've loved this guy (as an actor) since I saw him in Independence Day.

Sloth - Charlize Theron. The only beautiful actress today that can look ugly. http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0340855/Ss/0340855/Image06.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0340855 Not that Sloth is ugly, she's "plain and low-key" but I think Charlize could do it.

Last but not least on my list is:

Major Hughes - Jim Carrey. Yes, Jim Carrey! Because Jim could pull off the being absolutely ga-ga over his wife and baby to being absolutely serious about helping out Mustang get to the top to driving Mustang ape-sh**.

Okay, there's my fantasy cast. Embarassed Please don't rag on me too hard. Embarassed

Now, who would you suggest?

Ed and Al I think would have to be unknown for this part....it's would give roles a chance to be unique. Meaning that whomever is cast into this role would be able to add their own style and make the character their own. And currently I don't know anyone whom is close enough to 15 and 13 to act those parts. It's hard to remember that Ed and Al are kids, that why the show is so powerful because the choices they make in their life. They take on the responsiblities of adult but yet they never get the chance to be teenagers.

I like both Scarlett Johansen and Johnny Depp as actors, however that said my concern is chemistry. I think that these two just wouldn't have the ability to keep things so low porfile, (in term of their affection for one another) specifically Depp.

Agreed 100% Angelina has that ability to be very sexual, and yet at the same time show the compassion as human for others. And I know some of you are thinking that Lust doesn't have a human side however (spoiler throught Vol 9) spoiler[I think that she still was the best homonculus who had a chance to leave the group and live her life out in peace.]
Till next time,

I don't know if Al would really need a big star to play him, for the most part wouldn't the actor be doing the same thing as the seyuu and voice actor? If anything they may need to find someone big enough to walk around in that suit of armor. But since this is a fantasy cast, I'll say we can time travel, turn the clock back a few years and have Haley Joel Osment play Al.

For Edward I think maybe Shia LaBeouf, I know he is mostly known for his disney channel stuff but I thought he did a great job in both I Robot and Constantine. I know he may not be blonde but wigs are available, and he does have a very important trait, he's short. He's also kind of goofy, but can turn around and play serious well too.

I don't know about Winry though, I haven't seen a movie recently with a really good young female actress. If we could time travel again and go way back to the early 1990s, we could get Claire Danes, of My so Called Life fame, to play Winry.

Dude, I am assuming it might be difficult for you to read people's posts, but can you at least try to read the entire topic title? Here it is again, and just for you, I bolded an important part:

These two?:http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0339291/Ss/0339291/LS-C1279-01.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0339291

I have to admit that I've thought of 4 more:

Scar - Joaquin Phoenix. This is sort of iffy but I think that he does brooding, tormented and troubled well.

Pinako Rockbell - Susan Sarandon. Just because I'd like to see her play a tough old bird. Very Happy

Hoenheim Elric - Sean Bean. Wonderful actor. I've liked him for a long time. He can play good guys, bad guys and people who are both.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000293/

Envy - Tilda Swinton. She played Gabriel in Constantine and did a really good job in that and as the Snow Witch in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. So she can do the whole androgynous thing.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0842770/

That can easily be mistaken as that there is a live-action movie, and these are the actors you want to be in it.

Kiera Knightly could play Lyra's role.

Robin WIlliams could play Yoki.

No one's put in a bid for an Ed though, so here I shall go ^^ (even though I'm completely not getting this topic Anime dazed)

Had he not like...died, I'd go for River Phoenix a few years before he passed away. He was one GOOD actor, and pretty. He made a great blonde. I couldn't find any good pictures of his hair like that though ^^ (although he was doing the long blonde thing for a while.)
Great at being pouty.
Yay.

My other idea was the middle Hanson brother a few years back (who’s still pretty. The other two are now funny lookin’), but I don’t think he can act.
Also, He doesn’t do pouty all that well.

No one current I can think of, then again, I'm late with these things. ^^

Yeah, all boy-toy-y (although again, River was good at what he did. He was serious.) but…It’s Ed. He is. ^^
That’s why we love him. ♥♥♥

Sean Connery would be awesome as the fuhrer, of course, he would need to wear a wig or something.
