I don't know if anyone else agrees with me on this or not, but here's the way I feel about it. It's really important for characters in adaptations to look like you expect them to. How do I define that?

Well, okay, I guess the thing is, haven't you ever seen an actor who looked like they would be the perfect person for a role, and then someone else got the role?

Unfortunately this really only captured it from one angle. I didn't think this was perfect casting.

Who would I have cast? Jamie Bamber

When he defends Baltar on trial as Lee Adama in Battlestar Galactica his pissed off face looks just like Max Payne from the video game.
