I posted this in one of the casting threads below, but I got such a kick out of it, I added to it and have made it a separate thread. (This is all just for fun.)


How about casting the Belgariad with an all-black cast? An incomplete list:


Gorim: Sidney Poitier

Belgarath: Lawrence Fishburne

Garion: Will Smith ("Ain't no need to argue, Aunt Pol just don't understand.")

Ce'Nedra: Jada Pinkett Smith

Silk: Chris Rock

Barak: Ving Rhames ("Sir Haldorin, I'm gonna get medieval on your a..")

Polgara: Angela Bassett

Rhodar: Cedric the Entertainer

Beldin: Gary Coleman ("Whachoo talkin' 'bout, Belgarath?")

Aldur: Bill Cosby ("Come on in to my tower, Errand. How'd you like a nice Jell-O Pudding Pop?")

Lelldorin: Eriq La Salle (bring back those Jheri-curls from Coming to America!)

Durnik: Fifty-Cent (ha!)

Taiba: Beyonce Knowles (Taiba is the perfect covergirl of the Maragor edition of the SI Swimsuit Issue)

Relg: Eddie Murphy (Really! Eddie Murphy's tight-assed white-person character from SNL is perfect for Relg)

Torak: Dave Chappelle ("I'm Kal Torak, b*tch!!!")


and my favorite:


Mandorallen: Samuel L. Jackson

"It would behoove thee to stand aside, motherf***er!!!"
