Re: How would you cast classic Galactica today?

I can't believe I forgot about Iblis & Cass!
Cumberbach as Iblis...Cumberbach as Impy. That could work. I wasn't too terribly impressed with his Khan in STID, but that was a very different kind of character. He certainly has the voice for the Imperious Leader, no doubt. And he can certainly project the haughtiness and royal majesty that Iblis demands. Yeah, I do like that one.
I could see Amy as Cass, but I think I would be more partial to Natalie Zea, also of Justified fame. She played aside Olyphant's character as his ex-wife with some natural on-screen chemistry that might effectively transfer into BSG. And while I like Amy Poehler, I find that Natalie has slightly more sultry characteristics that she should be expected to have as a socialator.
As a side note, I initially thought of Idris Elba as Colonel Tigh, but then I decided I didn't want someone in that role that might conceivably have more gravitas on the bridge than Adama...
Heh...remember when there was the rumor that Roger Moore was being tapped to be Iblis in either NuBSG or a continuation (can't remember which one it was)? I guess it might have had some potential.
