if only I spent this much effort on my schoolwork

Question time!

I have been, very slowly, writing my show premise for the create-your-own-TV-show meme that's been going around. It is very fun! I feel extremely self-indulgent! And I have hit a sudden casting roadblock. In my vague desperation, I've been wandering around and grabbing my friends at random, demanding, "So I've got a Callum Keith Rennie character who's sort of a combination of Duck and Uncle Johnny! He needs a male love interest! WHO THE HELL DO I CAST?"

Now I'm grabbing the internet and asking this question! (By the way, the answer is not Paul Gross. Because he's the third season villain. *cough*) Two of the more emphatic answers I've received so far have been Hugh Dillon and Joe Flanigan, but those both seem really, really self-indulgent, so I don't know. Throw random actors at me! Be self-indulgent yourself! There has to be someone out there who is right for this.

Oh please! Jim Allodi! Or maybe Don McKellar.

...You know, I'm kind of leaning in a Don McKellar direction. It would be kind of unbearably adorable. (I thought of James Allodi too, but CKR needs some variety. :D)

Hmm. What about Nicholas Lea of Krycek fame?

[aria]

Oooh, possibly! *adds to growing list*

*delurks*

Damian Lewis?

I may have just melted a little with joy! They could be so stoic and awkward at each other. <333

I am in a terrible fannish place right now, so you may want to completely disregard my suggestions (no, really! terrible!), but I am thinking either David Tennant or Misha Collins. I only wish these weren't serious suggestions on my part, but they really are.

I definitely also had the David Tennant one myself. I am probably going to disregard them, but I am irrationally delighted that someone else also landed on Tennant. XD

I was pretty thrilled when somebody mentioned Don McKellar, AND THEN SOMEBODY SAID DAMIAN LEWIS.

...yeah, I got nothing.

:DDD

I'm pretty sure it's going to be Don McKellar, actually.
