Funny you should write that...I always thought Lucy Liu would make a great Seichan. But for the other characters, I have set images in my head for each character, but none that I've paired up with certain actors. I'd be interested to see what people think.
Jim
lol thats funny. She does seem to be right for that part huh. See thats the thing with me too, I have ideas about the others, but not a set actor or actress like I did right off with Lucy. I really would love to see the mother as a bit matronly and a little heavy. I just see her that way, from how she talks but from what she needs to do, I dont think she can be on the heavy side, so I need to think more lol. As for the other main players, lets see what we can come up with.

Maybe Glen Close and Christopher Walkin for Gray's parents? (I just like to see those two act together, they're great fun to watch!)
And for Kat, Kristana Loken the girl who played the Evil Cyborg in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines",
Vin Diesel as Monk
Can't think of anyone else right now.

Christopher Walken is a little bizarre tho for Gray's father, dont u think? lol, I Love him but hes got the kind of off the wall look and voice. hmmmm
Oh and the millionaire (Ryder?), and Kowalski too! I will have to find a pic of Vin Diesel. I love Glen Close. You know Meryl Streep can play anything, and she can be sweet or very authoritarian. She did one kind of action film too some years ago and is not afraid of them. I could see her now come to think of it, being sweet to her upset husband but also going between being frightened and talking straight at these guys showing no fear, and doing what she had to do at one point. Harrison Ford is getting old enough to play these kinds of parts too, the father of a grown man, and he has great confused looks. His height and build even at his age could make you think of man who had been military in his younger years. hmmm yes lets think some more and come up with some ideas for all of them for Jim lol and see which he likes too. May be an all star cast LOLOL.I just checked out Vin, I remember him now lol, hey, he would make a good wise cracking soldier Kowalski too!
Kat (Monk's wife)has such a small role in the book, do you think maybe Kristanana Loken would be better for maybe Susan? She has played some strong rolls but also she has that face that she could be the one you first see on that boat with her husband Gregg (no spoiler here, thats early on) and then she has a great "otherworldly" look in some of her pics too that would lend to Susan as she progresses in the story. I was wondering about who to play Susan. Maybe a lesser known actress for Kat? Whatcha think?

For some strange reason, when I picture Grey's parents, I see Marie and Frank from Everybody Loves Raymond. 
That the kind of couple I see them as.
Lucy Liu is pretty much set to play Seichan
And I'm thinking that I'd like to see someone like Julianne Moore play the part of Lisa. She could pull off the doctor role pretty well I think.
And how about Clive Owen as Grey? He has an intensity that would bring Grey to life.

hey hawaiian, I think clive owen could be a good choice and I really like Julianne Moore, she would make a really good Lisa I think too. Nice choices. Especially Julianne.

I don't look like a super model, but I could TOTALLY play Susan. ;-)
Well i dont see Susan as the supermodel type lol. Its just that some of the pictures you find of Krisanna Loken looks like thats all she is instead of some of the ways she looks in movies. I think Susan should be pretty, blonde, a bit athletic from her work in the ocean but not overly so because after she gets sick, she needs just more of a regular girl look, not a model at all lol but pretty, scared, but with an inner strength, a look that starts to take on a ethereal quality.
So if not you in the movie lolol, who can you see playing her?

I was picturing Susan as an attractive woman, but with a simple beauty. Perhaps Helen Hunt.
I thought about Helen Hunt too, cant decide. I dont think Susan should be drop dead gorgeous either, but like I said pretty, and as you say attractive but also she needs something just a little unique about her looks that will translate into the later part of the story and I cant quite figure what that is. Helen would be a good choice, personality wise I see her more in the role of Lisa but I agree that Julianne Moore would be great for that role. What about Ryder too? He needs to be some kind of rich cowboy type huh? And what about Parker back at home, important job and in love with Lisa.
By the way, was Susan a blonde in the book? I need to go back and see if she is physically described because the one thing we all seem to agree on is that Susan is a blonde! I see her with just below the shoulders blonde hair and something about the eyes.
