John Cusack is a great call, though I dunno how well he'd suit blond hair!

I like looking at lesser known actors for casting discussions. For your consideration, I give you:

Kelsier - Matthew Goode

He's got the playing nobleman thing down, and has the dangerous, over confident smile. As an actor he also has a real intensity that I think Kelsier needs. Just dye him - he's played blond before - and scruff him up a touch.

Elend Venture - Thomas Brody Sangster

A bit old (27), but doesn't look it.

Looks more of a bookworm than a hero.

A certified dish.

Lestibournes/Spook - Kodi Smit-Mcphee

Looks kinda awkward, which is perfect for our Spook.

Can do accents (Nightcrawler in X-Men Apocalypse)

Dockson - Jeffrey Wright

Plays tired, intelligent, strategic well. Superb actor.

Breeze/Lord Ladrian - Toby Jones

Overweight, unconventional, comedic.

Superb character actor, very charismatic.

Can do various classes, accents.

Hammond - Daniel Kaluuya

Range. Smart, geeky - noble, martial...see Black Mirror and Black Panther as well as early work in The Fades.

Can do both dependable Pewterarm and dreaming philosopher.

Also, damnation.

Clubs - Stephen Lang

Character actor. Grizzled. Good presence.

Is Stephen Lang.

Marsh - Paul Bettany

Is older than M. Goode but looks similar, so could play Kel's big bro just fine.

Has the cheekbones and forehead to play 

Spoiler

a Steel Inquisitor

 not to mention the necessary intensity, and at 6'3 is imposing.

latest?cb=20180217211138

 

The Lord Ruler - Takeshi Kaneshiro

Accomplished martial arts experience.

Range as an actor is impressive.

Multilingual.

Just imagine much longer hair.

I'll do Sazed last, in his own post, because he's so important to me and there are a number of directions we could go

Sazed

I have a number of options here.

 

Naveen Andrews:

Aged about 50 but looking good for it. Not sure how old Sazed is meant to be.

Will Yun Lee:

I imagine Sazed as darker, personally, but Will is an incredible actor and it's an interesting take on Terris looks. Vibes well with Lord Ruler pick too.

Lance Reddick:

Tall at 6'4".

Experienced actor, gravitas and physicality.

On the older side.

Sonam Wangdue:

A Tibetan American comedian.

A bit of a wildcard maybe.

Can't get rid of this box.

I love Matthew Goode but I don't know how well he'd do with Kelsier's sense of humor.  I think John Cusack could more easily go between the two.  And honestly, Kelsier's hair color isn't that important.  He doesn't have to be blonde to work as a character.  None of the characters are tied to a particular look, which is why I suggest a black actress as Vin.  It would be great to see more diverse casting.

Good points, well made. I'm down for any ethnicity/race for Vin, as long as they can pull off waif to Mistborn badass.

Am I the only one who thinks that the guy who played Ramsay Bolton in Gane of Thrones would be absolutely perfect for Zane? After all, Zane is basically just a non-Complete Monster version of Ramsay.

YES. I didn't know I needed this until now. I could see Iwan Rheon pulling Zane off spectacularly.

Kelsier: Nathan Fillion, and if Nathans not available then Josh Holloway

Vin: Saoirse Ronan

Elend: maybe . . . Joe Keery:

I don't know why but I want to see Daniel Radcliffe as Marsh

And not that this would be realistic, but someone should animate a short of TenSoon as a corgi trying to follow Vin around Luthadel.
