Patric Stwert could play Pellaon while Ina Mcallen could be a CGI Thrawn.

As I am currently mid-way through Hunt for Red October, I have to agree with the Sean Connery suggestion, the man's got that unshakable edge, and the cool calm strategising, the perfect Thrawn in my book...

Brian Blessed.

Brian Blessed has three strikes against him. He's too heavy, i imagined Thrawn to be fitter. He's too loud, Thrawn would be quieter. And lastly he was Boss Nas.

Yes, although it would be somewhat amusing...

After watching a shit load of movies at work today i think the best actor for the job would be Kevin Spacey, The way he is in K-Pax is esactly how i imagine Thrawn talking to Paelleon when Paelleon keeps asking seeminly silly questions. Also Spacey has the range of character to play a man who seems to swing moods quite a bit as Thrawn does.

Who should play Grand Admiral Thrawn?

My picks

Patrick Stewart (he actually does good work)
[Yeah, I can just imagine the reaction if a Star Trek actor showed up in Star Wars, but hey...]

Magneto/Gandolf (yes I know they are the same actor, just can't remember his name)

And really, in all seriousness
WWE Owner Vince Mcmahon (for the look and voice)

Ian McKellen, he's called.

The person who should play Thrawn is definately Arnold "Ahnald" Schwarzenegger.

He already has proven himself worthy of the color blue with his performance in "Batman & Robin."

Just imagine him yelling "Kill da rebels!"

And Pauley Shore as Pellaon. ; )

When I read that, an image of Elmer Fudd poped into my head. Of course that would be "Kill da webbels". Chekov would be proud.

Hell, get Walter Koenig in there!

Chekov, Bester, now Thrawn!

Still, having Keanu Reeves as Trioculous would definately make for a funny fan film. ; )

If somebody makes a movie from the allegedly horrible "Glove Of Darth Vader" books, I think we'll have a genuine flop...

Not likely. Pallaeon was in his forties in those books, with a full head of hair.

McCallen, maybe, but Thrawn isn't an old man either.
