Casting: Sierra Characters.

So...

King's Quest:
Sir/King Graham -
Valanice -
Rosella -
Alexander -

Are we talking modern day actors, or can we choose from multiple eras?

I can't think of anybody yet for now. But just to add something interesting, how about a cast for a Sierra biopic? Who'd play Ken Williams, Roberta, Al Lowe, Scott Murphy, etc?

Gabriel Knight = Humphrey Bogart, maybe? Or Ed Bishop (who played Philip Marlowe on BBC Radio)?

Detective Mosely = Victor Mature? Peter Sellers?

Grace Nakimura = Miyoshi Umeki? Keiko Agena?

Alas. All the male actors I've picked are long gone. :(

If we are talking about actors from any time, then GK is obvious. Tim Curry from around Rocky Horror era.

I hate to admit it, but Paul Rudd is a great choice as Roger...
