I got a ton of great response and feedback on my post about the casting of Alcede on next season of True Blood yesterday in this post. A lot of pople liked my choice for the character, but there were some other great recomendations. Today I’ve decided to put up a poll so that we can see the numbers for our choice. Vote and comment on anyone I may have left off that should be in the running. Alan Ball are you reading?
Here are the suggestions you had plus my suggestion:
Henry Cavill
Jeffery Dean Morgan
Justin Theroux
David Alpay
Kevan Durand

All the others are beautiful men. However, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is just lovely. His smile, his aura…everything suggests Alcide to me. I know, people will say he’s a bit too old, but, everybody on the show now seems different than their characters but Askars. AP isn’t as buxom as Book Sookie, Pam is older than the teenager she was in the books, Sophie is older looking, etc. JDM just has such a tender look about him, while being big and menacing looking if he doesn’t smile. LOVE him, as you can tell.

I think I’m going to have to agree with you. Henry Cavill would be my choice as well.
Definitely not the last two.

I keep on seeing Franky G. from the “Italian Job” as the perfect Alcide. He looks like he would fit all the facets of Alcide’s life; business man, construction expert, and kicka$$ were.

I thought Alcide was black? Gonna have to reread the books…
