Casting Calls

Recently thanks to my mate DaveI was informed of a new A Team movie in the works.
I tried to come up with a good cast for this movie and failed - who I wanted to see most likely wouldn't be commerically viable and some parts cannot reasonably be recast
James Brolin as Hannibal, James Spader as Face, BA who could you cast that wouldn't be either a bad Mr T impersonation or a totally different character?, Murdock the danger is that the actor in this role would be too wacky - I've seen Jim Carrey suggested for the role but his antics would then overpower the others. This is an ensemble cast.
So I decided to look at a few other movies from Aggressor Novels
The Pentrator
How about George Eads from CSI?
Okay your turn if they were to turn your favourite series into a movie who would you cast?

There is a discussion about who should be cast at Warren Murphy's site:

I found when people want to cast their favorite characters they always go for actors who look like the characters. I'm not sure that is such a good thing. I mean Humphrey Bogart looked nothing like Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe.

I generally speaking try for a mix of being able to play the character and appearance.
But look at Daniel Craig as the blond Bond and Michael Clark Duncan as Kingpin. Both portrayals were very well done.

Max Allan Collins' Nolan is supposed to look exactly like Lee Van Cleef.
