If, should, and when The Quest Saga gets turned into a major motion picture (*cough* hint hint Hollywood *cough*), this is the list of the fine actors and actresses who I would most like to see play the heros and villians and passersby of the Old World and China.
My dream team, if you will; the people I think could best bring life to my characters, my children.
Now, while many if not most of my characters have been inspired by real family and friends of mine, none of these or any characters of my books have ever been written with a particular actor or actress in mind, so honestly any number of Hollywood folk could walk into the role. And of course unknowns are constantly surprising me and other moviegoers. Also, I'll probably get emails saying "so-and-so would be better for this part", and I'll probably say "oh, yeah! how could I not even thing of so-and-so!" So while this list may and probably will change from time to time, I think for the time being I've assembled a pretty good cast of players who I think look and could do a decent job of acting these parts out on screen. I'm always open for suggestions, so if'n you'd like to
toss me a line and I'll post other endless possibilities as I receive them.

And if any of the people on this list are reading this, call me! =D We'll do lunch!
First off, the HEROS!
The VILLAINS!! >=)

Kain Viccon: Hero of the Quest Saga, the 113th Grand General of the Arcainian Army, Kain is a tough, powerful knight, very intelligent and charming, a ladies man who enjoys throwing back takilla and beer with his friends at a tavern. Has also assumed the role of surrogate father for his much younger sister Nancy Viccon. 

My Pick: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson                       Fan Picks: None Yet
Nancy Viccon: The sister of Kain Viccon and the daughter of the slain 109th Arcainian Grand General Richard Viccon and the Chinese maiden Hua Fang. Nancy is a typical Arcainian teenager, interested in friends, shopping, and boys. However, even though she is young (10 years her brother's junior) she is already a highly skilled fighter, more than capable of handling herself in a fight even against larger, more savage opponents.

My Pick: Zhang Ziyi                       My 2nd Pick: Brenda Song               Fan Picks: None Yet
Hua Li: Chinese cousin of Kain and Nancy Viccon, an extremely skilled fighter trained in the Hua family's ancient wushu style of Long Jingshin. Li is beautiful, witty, clever, compassionate, very intelligent, and a ferocious tigress on the battlefield.

My Pick: Gong Li                                                               Fan Picks: Kelly Hu
Mara Raptor: Jestura to the Ladys of the Elements, Kain's childhood sweetheart and possible future love interest. She is also the twin sister of James Raptor, Hua Li's missing husband.

My Pick: Jessica Alba                                          Fan Picks: Eva Mendes
Raphael Boniva: Kain's Second General in the Arcainian Army. A tough warrior and a gifted engineer, but a little goofy and not so suave around the ladies.

My Pick: David Boreanez                                        Fan Picks: Brendan Fraser
Thanks Mara in Friendswood!
Once again, good call!
Thanks Mara in Friendswood!
I now agree 100% with this cast choice!
Noknor: One evil sumabitch! A big, green, and frightful guy, a megalomaniac, murderous, blood-thirsty, loves to torture before the kill, and he's thoroughly insane! Can kill during dinner and finish dessert while the blood is still warm on his face.

My Pick: Anthony Hopkins                                  Fan Picks: Gary Oldman
Thanks Mara in Friendswood!
But you gotta think the poor guy's tired of playing freak-asses.
My Alternate Pick: Kane Hodder
Fan Picks: Tim Curry
Another great choice, but again, the poor guy has GOT to be sick of landing roles that cast him as carnivous clowns, big horned devil monsters, transvestite aliens and other assorted freak-asses
My Alternate Pick: Maggie Q
Garrison: Your basic mobster type, a tough bully, not overly bright but violent and no sense of morals. Slimy, backstabbing both literally and figuratively, and a total dickweed

My Pick: Ray Liotta                                                 Fan Picks: None Yet
Gong Gong: An ancient Chinese demon imprisoned for over a thousand years only to be resurrected by his cult. A massive dragon beast that is pure evil

My Pick: Yao Ming                                                Fan Picks: None Yet
