Good Omens Fancasting for Fun and Prophet!

I suppose just about everyone has to do this sooner or later, because everyone has looked at everyone else's fancasts and had lots of feelings about why everybody else is SO WRONG.

I tried to be less wrong in my own eyes, which is sure to be SO WRONG in someone else's. This is a work in progress--I am complete shite at remembering actors, for one thing. I've also only done the supernatural characters so far, frankly because they're the easiest and the most fun. I'm actually kind of surprised by how many current fan favorites turned up in here.



Angels and Demons

Aziraphale



Kenneth Branagh

Crowley



Cillian Murphy

Hastur



Benedict Cumberbatch

Ligur



Mark Sheppard

The Metatron



Alan Rickman (again!)

Beelzebub



Ron Perlman


The Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse

War



Rooney Mara

Famine



Tom Hiddleston

Pollution



Tom Felton

DEATH



Christopher Lee (again!)



What say you?

It does bother me that they're all white. And yet, the characters in GO are so cartoonish in so many ways, especially the supernatural beings, that casting them as PoC can lead to a different kind of problematic-ness. I'd welcome feedback on this too.

My dreamcast includes Sheppard as Crowley (for consistency's sake, and all), and Martin Freeman as Aziraphale, but your casting of the Horsepersons, Hastur, and Beelzebub is now my dream!cast as well.

GO!Crowley and SPN!Crowley are completely different characters to me, who aren't much like each other at all under the surface (or on it for that matter, they certainly don't look alike either). Their names are even pronounced differently!

Martin Freeman could make a good Aziraphale, though, definitely.
