It's not too late to post yours. Vinnie: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0279896/" rel="nofollow">Michael Fishman</a>. Yeah, I know it's D.J. from "Roseanne", but I saw a picture of him all grown up on his IMDb bio and I saw Vinnie. He's older than Vinnie is in the story, but lots of actors play characters that are older or younger than they are, taller or shorter than they are... You have to have some wiggle room when casting. Alain: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0350453/" rel="nofollow">Jake Gyllenhaal</a>. When I saw that he was within the acceptable age and height ranges I'd set up, I just thought there wasn't anyone better for the role. Kurt: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1005514/" rel="nofollow">Patrick Flueger</a>. If you were a fan of "The 4400" then you know Patrick as Sean Farrell. I was borderline about him for a while, but when I imagined him into a few of Kurt's scenes, he fit. George: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0262635/" rel="nofollow">Chris Evans</a>, a.k.a. Johnny Storm from the "Fantastic Four" movies. I just get a George vibe from him. Marie: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0124208/" rel="nofollow">Sophia Bush</a>. I actually went through a bunch of actress photos on IMDb to find an actress that looks like what Marie looked like in my mind's eye when I was writing her. Sophia fits the bill. Here are my picks. It's not too late to post yours.

Vinnie: Michael Fishman. Yeah, I know it's D.J. from "Roseanne", but I saw a picture of him all grown up on his IMDb bio and I saw Vinnie.

Alain: Jake Gyllenhaal. When I saw that he was within the acceptable age and height ranges I'd set up, I just thought there wasn't anyone better for the role.

Kurt: Patrick Flueger. If you were a fan of "The 4400" then you know Patrick as Sean Farrell. I was borderline about him for a while, but when I imagined him into a few of Kurt's scenes, he fit.

George: Chris Evans, a.k.a. Johnny Storm from the "Fantastic Four" movies. I just get a George vibe from him.

Marie: Sophia Bush. I actually went through a bunch of actress photos on IMDb to find an actress that looks like what Marie looked like in my mind's eye when I was writing her. Sophia fits the bill.

LOL! Main actors would be a tough one…hmm - Tobey Maguire as Kurt? Edward Norton or maybe Wesley Snipes as Vinnie? I could see supporting actors Christopher Lee (as nod to vamp B movies of past) and Christopher Watkins in a cameo perhaps (the boat dude?). Anybody except Keanu Reeves or Tom Cruise! LOL!

Like I said, Stephen Baldwin is now too old for Vinnie. Both Vinnie and Alain were young men when turned and haven't aged much due to being vampires. Aside from that, interesting choices. Thanks for posting. BTW, is anyone else stoked that "Heroes" is coming back next week? @Parahacker: You wouldn't have to age Zachary Quinto (Sylar) for Vinnie.

I may be way off your description, but that's who I picture. Just because he goes for the anti-villain roles (misunderstood hero?) all the time. Shia Laboufe for Kurt, definitely. No hesitations there; he's got the slightly goofy, ballsy, vulnerable yet resourceful thing down cold. Nicholas Cage for Vinnie, or possibly Gabriel Grey (Sylar from Heroes), to go a completely different direction. If it's Grey we'd have to age him a bit. Both are slow with the syllables and fast with the violence. Got nuthin' for the other two characters, sorry. Kiefer Sutherland for Alain. I may be way off your description, but that's who I picture.
