Eh, I'll be Wit. Someone's gonna have to die their hair white - it might as well be me.

No I don’t trust actually

But I’d be Syl. I’ve actually been thinking about it, and if the auditions are open, I’m SO going to try out.

Wow, this would be hilarious.

Szeth. Back in January, I had a job where we did catering for campus events, we weren't supposed to wear our dining-hall caps but my hair is low-quality hair so I shaved it all off. Then I started dressing in white a lot.

So a bald guy in white clothes, the look'd fit. (I'm even close to him in age.) Plus, my eyes are kinda pronounced, and when I shave, I look unnaturally younger than I should. Personality-wise, I can also vibe with going blank while killing someone who killed my pet, foreseeing an apocalypse, being rejected for foreseeing it, falling in with a conspiracy cult, then chasing down a handsome enemy soldier before having to submit to him as my therapist. While being misled anew by a crazy demi-god after getting a hungry talking weapon and accidentally getting an evil full god zapped out by the conspiracy-cultist leader who betrayed me.

[NerdSandwich she/her]

ooh that would be interesting (to play Szeth)

I can see that

[Highprince645343]

I would love to play Dalinar but unfortunately I am not a 40 year old asian man, so I'll settle for Szeth instead who I resemble more(though I'd have to shave my head)

Dalinar would be SO cool to play. 
Buuut I understand you might not be able too

If you could, tho would you actually audition for the role of Szeth?

It’d still be fun! 

[NerdSandwich she/her]

Oh yeah that would be fun

Tvlakv

[Born of Mist He/Him]

One of my brothers could definitely be Rua, I'd want to be Adolin because he's cool, unfortunately I look nothing like him.

[Enigma Crow They/Them]

This might be sort of basic, but my first choice would definitely by Hoid as he's my favorite character in the Cosmere! And I feel like it would be really fun to enact the personality of a whimsical mortal with way too much trauma and uses humor, wit, and storytelling as an almost socratic method of teaching. 

Jasnah would be cool to portray, but I don't think I'm old enough to really pull off Jasnah's particular brand of maturity convincingly. Hoid's a bit different because he often acts pretty youthful but has the weight of years on him, which feels more doable to me than someone who acts like the most intelligent person in the room because they are. 

Some honorable mentions would be Pattern and Lopen, because they are both really fun characters, Moash just because I despise him so much and I think it would be really interesting to portray him, or Elhokar because who doesn't love a heroic and tragic death right before a climax in a growth arc. I can already think of more that I would like portraying for various reasons, but I could probably keep thinking of characters to play for hours. 

[First of the Tide He/him]

I don't mean to be pedantic, but I just wanted to bring up that all the non-shin in SA are mostly Asian-looking. Not trying to bring anybody down, just bringing it up.

@Ookla the Intelligent Wow! That's a really impressive IQ. Just keep in mind that trying to control people's decision because you are 'superior' is seriously immature, and even edging on fascist. I'm sure it was a joke, and that you meant no harm by it, but please respect other's decision.
Not trying to say what you already said was bad, just keep in mind others' feelings.

[Vielence She/Her]

Ok Imma bring this back now that *confetti* THERES ACTUALLY GONNA BE A STORMLIGHT SHOW!!

Have at it y'all

[Qianweilian He/him]

Given that most of the non-Shin are probably not going to look like me, I’ll go with Mraize. He always seemed so interesting and cool.

[Silver Phantom he/him]

If its me at my current acting skill ( zero) I would want to be one of the Guards Seth kills in the beginning of book one

If i could act I want to be Maps

[pureintonation she/her]

In Stormlight? I'd be a Shin background character! 

Mistborn though??? I look like Vin and I'm at the age that Hollywood likes to cast for teenagers. But production probably wouldn't start for a few years and I have no connection to Hollywood. Actingwise... I'm already pretty distrustful and wary IRL so I'm sure I could just be myself to some extent (but I do have acting experience in some student films). I also do like perching on chairs. Not sure how I'd feel about all the wire stuff I'd probably be required to do...

-Side note, I did create a similar topic in the Mistborn forum for this, so I'd recommend checking it out

Yah even if you died immediately it'd still be so cool lol

[MrHobbes343]

I want to be random Shin farmer #3 in the Szeth flashbacks.

[Grubfriend He/Him]

I have zero acting experience, but my hair is basically black and my eyes are brown. I'd love to be a random bridgeman (wouldn't even need to fake dropping dead during a bridge run). Cenn would be kinda fun too.

Here is my audition as Pattern:

NO MATING!

Thank you *epic bow*

[NerdSandwich she/her]

You're getting the part.
