Who would you cast as William Rollo? (assuming the correct accent, of course...)

Although I had a unique idea of Rollo's looks by the end of the book, to get going, I had some pictures of one of these actors to inspire me. I'd love to see your votes, then I'll weigh in at the end and confess! :) Please let me know if *you* had someone entirely different in mind!!

I think Gerard would be great. I love watching him in movies.

I don't know if I can describe what I think Rollo looks like to me. HE would have the body Gerard had in 3000, but taller. I will look around and see if I can't find a picture close to what I think he looks like.

Ok, here is a close version of what I picture Rollo to look like. Ted McGinley. You will know him from Married with Children. My version would be they way he looks when he played the English Teacher on Happy Days. (He was more youthful then.)

This isn't the picture I wanted, but it was the only one I could find!

Okay, everyone! Here's *my* answer!! Christian Bale! =) Not all pictures of him, but I had a very specific shot of the actor, and that was my starting point for Rollo. Unfortunately I couldn't find the original, here's one that comes close.

Whaddya think? Do you want to know my MacColla picture? It's a *shocker*!!
