Dafydd Illian would be Colin O'Donoghue, whom my fellow connoisseurs of televisual garbage will know as Captain Hook from that august barrel of lunacy Once Upon A Time. The guy who plays Killian Jones, a man for whom death really is like man flu, seems like a natural fit for one of those agents who came back from the dead. =]

Since it'd be wrong to have one without the other (though their kids'll have to wait because life really is too short), Constance Sims is Shenae Grimes of 127 Hours fame. This, I admit, is largely based on appearance, though if movie!Dafydd is hotter, then so is movie!Constance. =]

As for my agents, well... my agents might all be humanoid (with a few exceptions), but I think a PPC Movie might well require them to be CGI just because of how cartoonish they are. Anyway, here's the voice cast for my motley assortment of total weirdos.

Wobbles: Anna Faris. She has the bubbly voice for it, and I think she'd be good at voice work; getting her into a fatsuit or something for a live-action performance might be trickier though. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that my first choice was Amy Poehler, but Nesh poached her, the swine. The feeeeeeelthy swine. =]

The Notary: Carmen Ejogo. A wonderful voice that sounds old and young at the same time - a perfect mix for her. Plus, she's got experience of more emotional parts, meaning I really think she could pull off the pathos for the part; there's a lot of history for the Oncoming Form. =]

Doktor Trollenfisch: Ray Fiennes. Now, strangely, this part does not require an actual German to play the Doktor; rather, it requires someone willing to ham it up to a ridiculous degree and just plain old have fun with the part. Fiennes' turn as Victor Quartermaine in Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit proved he can do both. Everyone had an absolute ball making that film, and I think that's what has to shine through with the Doktor und Gabrielle.

Gabrielle: AnnaSophia Robb, and yes, that is how you spell it. This is mostly on the strength of her performance in a weird little film called Jack of the Red Hearts, in which she displays the girlishness and grit combined that makes Gabrielle such a compelling character to write for. Small floof, many damage; perfect for Ms. Robb.

Lola McCandless: Clare Bowen. Now, American viewers probably know her from Nashville, assuming they know her from Adam, but she's an Australian actress and veteran of Home and Away. That said, I refuse to hold it against her. =]

Algernon, 7th Earl Wymbourne: Toby Jones. I was exceptionally tempted to cast Eddie Marsan in this role, but Jones won out in the end. He's an immensely talented actor with an amazing presence and voice, and I think he'd do well with the part - though whether or not he'd enjoy going back into a sound studio is open to debate. =]
