Missed casting opportunities
Deva
Just wondering if anyone has ever had ideas about missed casting opportunities for our actors...
Those Star Wars people were mad.. they could have cast Brian as Darth Vader and got the physique and the voice for just one fee! Also, I'm no Godzilla expert but I don't think downtown Tokyo would have recovered any time soon had Brian stomped around on it in a Godzilla suit for a bit.
Michael Keating? Would he have been better as the Joker, the Riddler or The Penguin up against Adam West's Batman?
Any thoughts on other missed casting opportunities?

A mixture of the Joker and the Riddler. He could play up the dark, menacing side we see in 'The Way Back', alongside his quips, riddles and limericks.
There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Paul Darrow would have made a good Number Two.

Absolutely, Michael Keating too.

Which Number Two? I think perhaps Peter Wyngarde's from Check Mate. I think Paul would have loved the 'Hi-Yahhh!' karate moment.

Had Linda Carter been otherwise occupied I can see Sally Knyvette flying the glass plane...
