(Jon, this is not personal. It is just something that I have to say. I can't hold it in though I know I probably should...)
<rant mode> Does anyone else *HATE* these sorts of discussions as much as I do? They are so unbelievably pointless!
John, I have to respectfully disagree with you.
I usually enjoy discussions like this. You learn a lot about people, and to some extent, you get to experience the story from a new point of view.
Every reader brings his or her own unique viewpoint to a book, just as every actor brings his or her own unique insight into a character. Seeing what actor Erik would like to have play Tom (as a random example) gives me an insight into what Erik thought about the character Tom, and that might also make me think about Tom (and the book) from a somewhat different perspective.
You can learn a lot about a person by how they would cast a movie.
