Dr. Nambu:George Takei Ken Washio:Hyde Joe Asakura:Gackt Jun:Aya Hirano the rest I don't know....

Yeah they did that one early on in the series didn't they... Well you could say the Eagle isn't into descrimination when he's pissed off...

Hey Xephon, we had a thread about this topic not too long ago...check this out... Casting Call

Thats true Springie... Remeber Sosai Tim's funny captions maybe its time to remind everyone about them he's produces some funny ones over the years.

I hadn't actually seen the other topic but there are some nice choces there

I liked the idea of Daniel Radcliffe as Ken. He has the big blue eyes, the cute-but-determined face, and has the bod (judging by the publicity pics for 'Equus'). Pattinson needs a trainer, first, if he's to be Joe. He already has the anime hair. Work Daniel Dae Kim in there somewhere. Preferably in a tight shirt. The man is HAWT!

What about this Italian actor to play Ken's role?

Every time I see Dan Radcliffe, I think I will always see "Harry Potter" -as unfair as that is to him. Now, Robert Pattinson... I've seen the Twilight movie, but he's not all that stuck in my head as "Edward" -or at least not yet. That Italian actor, however, I have no idea who he is, and he does look like a curlier-haired Ken. What's his name, Gatchamarie? I have trouble thinking of actors to play live action versions of the Gatchaman characters, because most of the actors I know of and like are too old to convincingly play teenagers, or inextricably linked, in my head, to other characters!

Oh, yeah, and Hillary Swank for Berg Katse, based entirely on her performance in 'Boys Don't Cry'. She made a convincing guy.

He is Riccardo Scarmacio and he is in the top 5 list of Italian actors!

I'd like to see Summer Glau as Jun - she did an awesome job in Firefly/Serenity (she's actually a trained dancer) and Tilda Swinton as Berg Katse. Did you see Tilda in Orlando? She played both a male and female in that - and did an incredible job.
