Dream casting a book is always hard since the characters in our minds look like themselves and not usually much like an actual actor. Only one character’s appearance was based on an actor from the very start. Kody and I definitely agreed that Adam had a Seth Green vibe.
Since this is a dream cast, we’re not going to pay much attention to the ages of the actors now. We just picked photos from a time period where they would have rocked as our motley little crew of friends.
Ellen Page as Christy
Rhiannon’s Thoughts: Christy shares Ellen’s dress sense and dark hair. Christy is about 15 lbs heavier, so her face is rounder, but Ellen makes a really good Christy. Also, Ellen would capture Christy’s insecurity and snark beautifully.
Seth Green as Adam
Rhiannon’s Thoughts: Seth Green during his Buffy the Vampire Slayer days would be awesome as Adam. He’d be able to play Adam’s sensitivity and playfulness while infusing him with much deeper emotions.
Kody’s Thoughts: Plus, Seth Green’s wicked side-eyes and dirty looks are perfect for Christy and his relationship.
Anthony Guajardo as Drifter
Rhiannon’s Thoughts: Anthony caught my eye when he was on The Walking Dead in the first season. He has a cute boyishness to him that Drifter also has. I love Drifter’s loyalty and laid back personality and Anthony would do a great job portraying that.
Britt Robertson as Olivia
Rhiannon’s Thoughts: I loved Britt as Cassie on Secret Circle. It would be fun seeing her not be the witch, but the kinda funky, cool best friend.
Landon Liboiron as Nathan
Rhiannon’s Thoughts: Landon has such an intense face! I love it. As Nathan, Oliva’s mysterious step-brother, he’d be perfection.
Tyler Posey as Mark
Rhiannon’s Thoughts: Tyler has Mark’s smoldering looks and magnetic gaze. How could any boy (or girl) ignore him? You’d instantly understand why all the girls are after him and why he catches Adam’s eye.
