Before I did this feature for 'In their Own Words' I hadn't realized how difficult it would be to find actors who fitted my mental image of my leading men. But trying to imagine which actors would be my ideal casting choices, in the unlikely event of it being made into a film, was great fun! In the end, I decided that I might have to give the actor playing Josh contact lenses and a bottle of hair dye, but that these are still the people I'd choose if I had that enviable choice :)
In my ideal world Peter Kenyon from 'Captain's Surrender' will be played by James D'arcy:
who is perfect in the sense of being tall and elegant, with a build a little like a greyhound, remarkable light-filled eyes and chiseled features.
And Joshua Andrews will be played by Ewan McGregor:
who would do a great job at conveying Josh's complexity, and could go from 'cowed and invisible' to 'glamorous and self confident' without blinking an eye :)
