I think I'd rather like Joaquin Phoenix as Cadvan. It's the eyes and sad face, I think ... And you've gotta say that Joaquin Phoenix is an awesome name. Is it his real name? Anyway, his name could almost have come from a fantasy book! It is his real name, he had hippy parents :D
His brother was River Pheonix and his sisters name is Leaf

I reckon Sienna Miller would make the best Maerad but she would have to dye her hair black.... and Cadvan well he's not an actor but I think Fab Moretti (The Strokes drummer) looks like what Cadvan would :D

Fab Moretti ... another cool name ...

(and River Phoenix is the one who committed suicide, right?)

It's short for Fabrizio... lol (he's brazilian ;) :D )

[Mrs. Cadvan]

River Phoenix had a spiked drink at Johnny Depps nightclub or something...anyway, here's some of my dream cast:

Cadvan: Billy Crudup
Nelac: Leonardo da Vinci (ok, not realistic, but that self-portrait of him really makes me think of Nelac)
Nerili: Monica Bellucci
Arkan: Stuart Townsend or Joaquin Phoenix
Dernhil: I dunno, maybe Hugh Dancy from King Arthur, though that was a really crap movie.
Maerad: I can only think of Eva Green, though she's probably a bit too old. I think Maerad would have to be a unknown new actress.

that's all for now, I need to think of loads more!

Fabrizio Moretti? I LOVE IT.

Who could play Hem? I'm trying to think of boy actors who are old/young enough to play him. There's that kid from Peter Pan- what's-his-face- oh yeah, Jeremy Sumpter or something. He isn't dark enough, though and his eyes might be the wrong colour but both can be changed nowadays, huh?

I'm racking my brain for other possible people but I just can't think of anyone ...

oooooooo i adapted the first chapter of the gift into a script for some english litriture work i had to do! i would audition for maerad even if it meant having to fly all over the world! im quite an actress ;) lol

Ok, i've changed my mind, the perfrct Cadvan would be Richard Armitage http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/northandsouth/images/photogallery/340x255/thornton.jpg that's not the best picture, he looks to stuffy, but yeah, it's richard all the way from now on... :D
oooo this ones good, it's his darker side lol http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/bestof2004/images/most_desirable_armitage.jpg and another
