Casting Soulless: Part 1- Alexia

So I recently read a blog post wherein someone was compiling a "dream cast" of the Parasol Protectorate and I was a bit disappointed in the choices. They were okay I suppose, I can't say anything *really* bad about them but they were mostly just the cast of Downton Abbey (which I love) and I think Alexia and her crew deserve better. ^_^

So First Alexia:



1. Minnie Driver- She wasn't always so skinny, in face the first thing I remember her in was Circle of Friend where she played a thicker girl and I wanted SO BADLY to be her.She's got vaguely Itialian looks and some great hair (not to mention her *ahem* huge tracts of land) Plus, she's got some serious acting chops. Give her 20 lbs, strap her in a corset and she'd make a fabulous Alexia.







2. Christina Hendricks- Wow. Just so bad-assed and cool and if you've ever seen her in Firefly you know she can act, and move. Would be great if only her hair weren't SO RED!












3. Sara Rue- Another once non-skinny actress. She is so cool and I think she could really do something interesting with the role.














1. Miracle Laurie- She was awesome in Dollhouse both as a sweet innocent and as a bad-ass. Also, she is not stick-thin and has a great neck that would look well in all those old-timey clothes. ^_^ I think she is my ultimate favorite because she is relatively unknown and could define her career with something as cool as Alexia.
