#casting session

On thing that’s been difficult for me to pin down is how to convey to an audience what the characters in my book series, Malcolm & Ollie, look like, without committing one of my pet peeves: rattling off a laundry list of physical attributes.

I’ve always had an idea of what most secondary characters look like in my head. In previous posts, “Let’s Play Casting Session” and “Let’s Play Casting Session Round 2,” I found some perfect representations of who should play them if Malcolm & Ollie were a TV shoe. Yet, I’ve always struggled with title characters. Until now.

Tyler James Williams as Malcolm

The first draft of “Malcolm & Ollie:Freshmen” (book one in the series), has finally been completed! Now it’s hack, slash, and edit time. As the first round of revisions are underway, it’s time to play “casting session” once again. Here are more actors I’d cast to play major characters in the worlds of Earthspace, and Eninfold.

Colin Salmon as Dean Miller

Nina Dobrev as Enna (one of Ollie’s 9 elder sisters)

Constance Zimmer as Professor Cora Milton
