Casting Call: Cypher the motion picture
Let�s say that I finally get my due, and a big studio wants to make Cypher in to a live action movie.  Let�s also say, that I finally get my due, and an extremely low budget studio wants to make Cypher into a live action movie.  Who would the actors and actresses for this big screen blockbuster, or straight to video flop?
CYPHER:  Armored Omni agent, with some personality flaws.
Big Screen:
Brendan Fraiser (The Mummy) as Cypher: Sure he�s not asian, but with big screen movies you can ignore comic continuity and go straight for the better actors.  Besides, Mr. Fraiser fits the bill as a easy going goof ball type hero.  We can say that he�s half asian, or make him pronounce his L�s as R�s, or something.
Low Budget:
Garret Wang (Star Trek: Voyager) as Cypher: Well at least we got the asian part right.  Mr. second rate cast member of the starship Voyager would probably fit the cost margin of this film.
Ellian Raven:  Cypher's partner and secret crush.  Wiz on the computer, and fast with the pistol.
Big Screen
Courtney Cox (Scream Trilogy)  as Ellain Raven:  The role of Ellain needs an actress that�s not only young and appealing, but also have an extremely developed sense of humor.  Monica, from �Friends,� can certainly meet those expectations.
Low Budget
Shannon Dourtey (Doesn't matter what she was in) as Ellain Raven:  She�s got dark hair.
Vix: spoiled princess from space.
Big Screen:
Hudson Leick (Xena)  as Vix: For Vix, we need some one who is athletic and looks like a space amazon princess.  Hudson Leick meets both requirements.
Low Budget
Hudson Leick as Vix:  Her only acting credit is Xena....I mean come on.
The Praetor: Future doppelganger of Cypher.
Big Screen:
Gary Oldman (Airforce One, Lost in Space, Bram Stoker's Dracula) as The Praetor: Gary Oldman has played every kind of bad guy in the movie biz, from Dracula to Dr. Smith.  He�s the only actor that could probably fit the dark persona of Cypher�s double.
Low Budget:
Pat Morita (The Karate Kid) as The Praetor: I almost forgot about the entire asian thing.  Well I guess Mr. Miyagi can be the evil version of Garret Wang.  Although we�ll have a heck of a time explaining how he got shorter.
