Susie If you could cast anyone for the roles of Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth, Bingley, and Jane, who would you cast? (They don't have to be age appropriate.)

I'll go first. :-) I think the ideal actors/actresses are:

Mr. Darcy: Richard Armitage (I love Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy but I vote for Richard Armitage because of his scowl. lol And his expressive eyes. Those eyes can express disdain and tendering loving, and everything in between!)

Elizabeth: Jennifer Ehle. Yes, no point in changing this. She is the quintessential Elizabeth Bennet.

Bingley: Jonny Lee Miller or Dan Stevens. Probably Jonny Lee Miller because Dan Stevens is too handsome. He might outshine Mr. Darcy. (But he and Romola Garai would make a stunning couple!)

Jane: Rosamund Pike or Romola Garai. Yes, as much as I hate the 2005 movie, I do think Rosamund Pike is perfect for the role. Romola Garai because I think she is an amazing actress and she can play almost any character. She is beautiful but I can also see her as the daughter of a gentleman farmer.

Who are your picks?
