Who would I cast for my version of Othello?
I really don't know that many actors so I am going to have to guess here:
Othello: Well, the only actor that I know of that would fit Othello's description would be Will Smith. It would be interesting to see him act out the emotional war that Othello is experiencing, and based on his past films, stirring up emotion in the audience is his specialty.
Iago: The dark character that just happens to have all the best lines. Who would I cast? Probably Johnny Depp. I loved Pirates of the Caribbean and I think that having Johnny add some emotion and comedy to the film would help relieve some of the emotional turmoil in this tragedy.
Desdemona: Err... Well I don't have an actor in mind... But I can list the qualities I would be looking for. Physically, looking in the play is going to be necessary. Someone that is willing to really put their heart into acting, and doesn't mind working with the other stars.
Emilia: Oooh... Again I don't really have anyone in direct mind right now. Frankly I don't know that many actors to begin with! I would cast someone who can act out the rebellious nature of Emilia, as well as convince me that she can act out the part of being Desdemona's close friend.
