You’ve done the impossible - sold your book/series for the screen. Who would you choose (living or dead) to play your protagonist? Why?

A thought-provoking question and one that I've honestly not considered before for my new Hunter and Tate series. I have several reoccurring characters, but the three main protagonists are true crime podcaster/freelance reporter Ella Tate, Detective Liam Hunter and hairdresser/all-around-great guy Tony Venditto.
Liam Hunter arrived in Canada as an Irish immigrant and he's got the brooding, intense factor -- leading-man material. Physically, he has dark, curly hair that he wears too long and black eyes, and he's fit. Colin Farrell would suit the bill if he can play a younger version of himself since Liam is in this early thirties. However, I could handle a slightly older actor in this case :-)
As for Tony Venditto, he's described at one point as resembling a young Brad Pitt. Tony is gay, hilarious and loves fashion. He's also empathetic and kind with hidden depths of pain and spirit. Colton Haynes would make a terrific Tony.
If all these actors signed on, I'm certain we'd have a hit series on our hands :-)

Alas, Hollywood would most likely cast Whoopi Goldberg in all three roles.
ReplyDeleteI would never say no to Colin Farrell!
