Who should play Rasalom? - Legion - 07-04-2008
I know there have been a million posts on this board for who should play ack. What about Mister Big Bad himself?
My vote is Naveen Andrews. Rasalom is described as arabic if memory serves correct. ( I hope Im right there.)
Hes got that smooth, collected, intelligent way of speaking but he's also bad ass as hell.

That is certainly a possibility. The guy needs to be charismatic as heck and cultured with an underside of menace.

He is from "The First Age," and I'm sure that there was no such thing as "Arabs" at that time.

I agree.
Spoilers for Reborn, Reprisal and Conspiricies:
[SPOILER]Also, by the time Rasalom becomes part of Jack's world, he'd be in the body he was Reborn into in '68, right? So we'll have to go by the description of Rafe in Reprisal to know what he looks like to Jack. Or his description in Conspiricies maybe.[/SPOILER]

I think having a no name play Rasalom might be best if it ever came down to it...
As far as his original nationality he wasn't Arabic. I believe he was of Asian/Chinese descent. I seem to remember him standing on a mountain in China "not far from where he was born..."

Now that you mention it. . . . You're absolutely correct.

I always felt that Gary Oldman would make a great Molasar or Rasalom.

Frank Langella might be too old now for the Big R, but he's got that smooth, menacing way about him.
Naveen Andrews would be a great Kusum.
