Hi Vicki :) I have a Question (^_^) for you: who would you cast as Ror for the HBO series? Personally I can't separate him from Jackie Earle Haley (he was perfect and amazing, and he will always BE Rorschach, in my head, heart and soul), but I know that it's quite unrealistic to see JEH playing him again. So, who would you pick? I googled up some actors, ended up looking at Damian Lewis and thinking that he may fit the role somehow. What do you think? Hugs :)
I have been thinking about this ask for months now and I think my body is finally ready.We can all agree that JEH is the end-all. He fits the role like… like J K Simmons is a living J Jonah Jameson. I’ve heard that JEH made a special no-budget audition tape for Zach in his own homemade Rorschach cosplay, because he knew in his bones he was perfect for the part. I would do godless deeds to see that tape. 11/10 RorschachsI like this Damian Lewis fellow.
He’s got the look. I’ve never seen him in a movie or show, but I just watched some youtube clips, and I can see it! He’d have to hide that charming little smile of his. 7/10 RorschachsWalton Goggins is a possible suspect.Â
Oof what a name. I mean he has a Walter Kovacs level name irl. I love Goggins in the Tarantino movies. He’s such a dirty, rowdy, no good boy!! I haven’t heard him without the southern accent, but I imagine he could pull off some Jersey disdain. And he’s got the cheekbones and crazy face to boot. 8.5/10 RorschachsBut if I really had my druthers, if I could have anyone, I choose 1971 Clint Eastwood.Â
God. Damn. I mean, I know Dirty Harry is one of Rorschach’s many dads, but he’d be perfect. I know this is an anachronistic non-answer, but he’d be perfect!
His growly voice, his little scrunched up grimace he makes all the time, the tacky suits, the bad jokes, the monologues, them cheekbones.Â
“No morphine Daniel; drug test at work next week.”If you need any more convincing, just watch the first 1:05 of this video. The rest of the clip is not important, he too quickly turns into rorglock. Just stop the clip at 1:05 and tell me he isn’t prefect. 10/10 Rorschachs
