After careful consideration (and making the time to finish them) I've made my top two choices for each role in Repairman Jack I: Claws of The Rakoshi. There were many actors considered for Jack but I've rejected some of my favourites (Nathan Fillion, etc.) in favour of actors who better fit the role. The choices are listed in order of preference.
Jack: Thomas Jane or Ryan Reynolds...my previous decision to exclude Thomas Jane for having too much presence or being too handsome has been reversed...he is more average looking than Reynolds and, as I mentioned in my post earlier tonight, is also well under 6', so he gets the nod. Props to FelineStevens for suggesting him, way back on March 31, 2008.
Abe: Robin Williams (in his Ms. Doubtfire fat suit) or Robbie Coltrain (see Let it Ride)
Gia: Charlize Theron or Kate Winslett
Kusum: Sendhil Ramamurthey (from Heroes) or Akshay Kumar (prolific in Bollywood)
Kolabati: Aishwarya Rai (Mira from Last Legion) or Morena Beccarin (Inara from Serenity)
Julio: Danny Trejo (Johnny 23 from Con-air) or, if Danny is too old, Benicio Del Toro
Vicky: Shyann McClure or Amy/Zoe Schlagel (they were the only ones that I could find that were close to 8 years old)
Mrs. Westphalen: Helen Mirren

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
