I haven't actually watched the show, but I like to cast against type.

Meryl Streep would be teh awsum - but I suspect she's too big a movie star for a little genre show on Fox.

And, yeah, foots, that does make me feel better :P

i don't even really mind of they end up casting someone younger - given they're immortals, who take a different shape when human, they could cast a 10 year old and it would probably work (not to mention being seriously fucking creepy). It's more the way the article was written - that they didn't even consider the possibility of someone who actually would be old enough in human terms to play his mum.

Some really great casting choices,

I might add Andie McDowell, fucking Betty White would be awesome. There are a ton (48x140lbs* = 6720lbs, so three tons) of other great actresses.

*average weight of 50 y.o. American female from the low end of the curve assuming that career actresses have, with some notable exceptions, generally kept their weight down.

It's a sad note that when entering the search term 'female actors' (as opposed to actresses) Google's search suggestions are, hot, sexy, under 30, under 40, still sexy under 40, hottest, etc.

Typing in 'over 50' gets similar results, with a few nods towards their ability rather than how well they've aged.

I guess I'm glad that I didn't get Did you mean Over 50 Hot actresses?

Some awesome actors there. My personal choice, for an older actor in the role, would be Ann Dowd. She is magnificent. She might not fit the bill if they want her to be the beautiful, glamorous type - but my God she can be terrifyingly intimidating with just a look. Her performance in Leftovers was chilling.



.....and if they did end up going down the woman in her 40s route: Liv Tyler was also magnificently unsettling.

Old actress?

Apparently, AMC, the channel that brings so much gore in the Walking Dead, the characters are literally drenched in it, and has no problem showing people's heads exploding, has censored a glimpse of Tom Hiddleston's bum

It became one of the most iconic scenes in The Night Manager when it aired in the UK, yet it seems #Hiddlesbum didn't quite make the cut in the US.

When AMC aired the fourth episode last night (May 10) in the States, the beloved shot of Tom Hiddleston's derriere in that steamy scene was censored.

Guess his bum isn't as nice as Walter White's.

[DanaC]

It's because his bum was being shown during a sex scene.

Oh noes, sex! Think of teh children! Imagine the damage it will do to their morality if they see a sexy bum in amongst the extreme violence on tv

Hell, Donald Duck never wore pants. That never warped any of us. But, he did wrap himself with a towel when he came out of the shower...

[xoxoxoBruce]

That never warped any of us.

Oh, then what did?

[Gravdigr]

I think my parents fed me lead paint chips as a child.

[classicman]

Yours too?

[BigV]

CHIPS! Oooooooo, luxury!

We had to bite our own lead paint, straight from the window sills....

[monster]

You had teeth? you jammy bastard! Our parents used to pull ours and sell them to the gypsies. then they'd spank us til we grew some more. We had to suck our lead out of the paint. backwards.

[Undertoad]

We prayed every night for paint. We had to walk down road and find pieces of metal just 'oping that they had lead in them. Father would use a file and make shavings to put under our tongues. Still, those were good days.

[sexobon]

During the war, we had to turn all our leaded paint chips in to the gov'ment refinery so they could make bullets. In return, they gave us pencil leads to eat; but, those were actually graphite and we went into withdrawal. If it wasn't for our dog chasing cars and snatching the lead wheel weights off them, we would have starved to death. Good Loco: it was the first and only trick he ever learned.

You guys just tickle the shit outta me sometimes.
