Dan Brown : Your cast for Deception Point

Your cast for Deception Point

If Deception Point was turned into a movie, who would you want to play the characters. I'll edit this continually, as I decide who I would want, but who would you want? Keep in mind this is only the main cast, which I got from Wikipedia (I don't really feel like scanning the novel for characters, which is partly due to the fact that I haven't finished the novel yet, so I don't want anything spoiled)

Here's my list (Question marks mean I haven't decided who I would want for the particular role).

Rachel Sexton - Natalie Portman
Michael Tolland - Adrien Brody
President Zachary Herney - Bruce Greenwood
Senator Sedgewick Sexton - Paul Sorvino
Corky Marlinson - Justin Bartha
Lawrence Ekstrom- Lance Henriksen
William Pickering - Ben Miller
Marjorie Tench - Joan Allen2000
Gabrielle Ashe - Jada Pinkett Smith
Delta-One - Nestor Carbonell
Delta-Two - Michael Emerson
Delta-Three - Neal McDonough
Norah Mangor - Sigourney Weaver
Dr. Wailee Ming - Either Daniel Dae Kim
Chris Harper- Daniel Craig
Yolanda Cole- Gabrielle Union
Xavia- Sarah Brightman

There, I finally came up with a full cast (sort of). I'm still eager to see everyone else's "cast" for a possible movie adaptation.
EDIT: I have finished the novel now. I loved it.

Re: Your cast for Deception Point

Chuck Norris plays everyone, wikipedia that.

The moment I saw her I was in love. I'll always love you Mary J

If little else, the brain is an educational toy.

Re: Your cast for Deception Point

When I read books, I always envision actors as the characters. Here are my picks:

President Zach: Robert Downey Jr.

Rachel Sexton: Rachel McAdams

Michael Tolland: I think I settled on Leiv Shreiber

Senator Sedgewick: Jon Voigt or Brian Cox, but Michael Douglas is good too

Corky: Ryan Reynolds

Gabrielle Ashe: Katherine Heigl

Norah: Rachel Weiz

Ming: Donni Yen

Those are all I have for now. I'm actually not done with it yet, Page 244.

Re: Your cast for Deception Point

What do you mean the deltas don't matter? You need someone really good to play Delta One and Delta Two, and maybe even Delta Three, even though isn't role wasn't as big as the other 2. However, they're pretty much the villains in the book.

Besides, every role with lines is important. You have one one weak actor, it brings down the whole thing.

Re: Your cast for Deception Point

They don't matter to me. I speak only for myself. They were the nessesary evil, but they were not developed in any way so I don't think I need someone talented and famous portraying them.
