So you know how people picture different actors or models or even random dudes they know in the role of fictional heroes? Yeah. I would be shocked if anyone pictured any of these dudes as the heroes of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.
Especially fluttery Brad with his long long hair.
This was good for a laugh! Somebody has serious time on their hands!
It is a shame that most of the Hollywood guys come in small stature. They may be buff, but they sure aren’t big. I think I weigh more than any of the actors represented and I am no where near the size of a professional wrestler, which is more in keeping with the size of the Brotherhood guys.
Also, come on, you couldn’t come up with a bigger Irish guy than Colin to play Butch! I’m insulted on behalf of all the big strapping Irish guys in Southie!
I’m finding this short vs. tall conversation quite interesting. I never met an adult male shorter than I am until I was well into my twenties (I’m 5’6”), and it have to say that being able to look down on the top of a man’s head when he’s standing next to me creeps me out. It feels wrong and unnatural.
And I have met a lot of short men with Napoleon complexes, but also a lot of short men who don’t seem to have those issues. And a lot of tall men who are just assholes. A lot of men in general who are just assholes… (Any male under 6’ is short to me. I come from a long line of nordic freaks. I am by FAR the shortest adult in my gene pool, male or female.)
And about that video: No. Just, no. Spike, as tortured? Sure, technically, but it didn’t define his character. And I didn’t see that particular Blade movie, either, but I just can’t put Ryan Reynolds into a tough-guy role. He’s a goof-ball, start to finish.
Yeah, the short and tall thing… there is plenty of assholishness to go around. I’m met many a tall man with the “Napoleon Complex”, as well. Meaning aggressive unprovoked anger or whatever. It’s really not right or fair to label people that way.
That said…. I love me a really tall drink of water. Reooooooowwwwww….
I’ve, I meant I’ve! Not “I’m”. :/
Sorry. Can’t stop laughing. Frankly none of those guys match the picture I had in my head. I love them all. Hugh is my baby. Marsden …love him… Brad ? Yummy. But the BROTHAS they are not :))
RR is hot. So is Jason Lewis. But, IMHO, they are NOT right for the BDD. Guess I always pictured them looking more like sports players (dirty, sweaty ones) than movie stars.

I third the Peter Steele motion.. lol
Crack me up. The biggest giggle of all? The soundtrack by … Pink! It’s a great song, but I think the Brothers deserve something with a bit more crunch.
Also, I think for beloved/famous/infamous books and characters, you pretty much have to go with unknown actors. These guys just have too much celebrity baggage for me to see them as viable Brothers – in the same way I can’t watch Angelina Jolie act in anything anymore without first wondering a) whether Brad is watching the kids, and b) exactly how much time in the makeup chair it took to cover her tattoos.
A for effort, an A for effort….
Snort..Z…P and V. Jesus…
Wow, Ryan Reynolds as Vishous. Granted I didn’t know who Ryan Reynolds was when I read V’s story, but can’t….just can’t…..
That said, RR is the hot. And brainy too. And tall. (And has his hands full of Scar Jo’s boobs.) 🙂
Visually pleasing, yes. But holy-shit-batman, no way, no how.
Having said that, I’d do Ryan Reynolds in a heartbeat, especially when he’s all sweaty and musckly and beat-up (sorry, hon).
And for the record, Buffy should’ve chosen Spike because he loved her without his soul and Angel only loved her when he had his. Remember that season when he was an ass ‘til he got it back? Oh wow, I’ve been holding on to that one for a lonnnnnnnng while.
Now I loves me some Spike, and Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds definitely trip my hot-o-meter, but can I picture them as Brotherz? A universe of no.
Oh, and what Susan D. said – THOSE guys are more my image of the Brothers…sweaty, dirty, looking like they’ve been rode hard and will put you away wet…‘scuse me, I’ll be in my bunk.
P.S. Excuse me, spamword nearly62, but 34 is nowhere near 62 so stop trying to freak me out about my upcoming birthday. Thank you.
Spike would have made a great romance hero a couple of decades ago, you know, with the attempted rape and everything.
Oh, wow. That was totally lulz-worthy. I think whoever made that video said “ooh, if someone was in something vaguely vamp-related (or if they were pretty), than they are TOTALLY right for the brothers!!!!!” Spike is great but he does not in ANY way resemble Zsadist. In fact, none of the men in that video even remotely resembled in any way my visions of the brothers. However, it was a lot of pretty in just under three minutes (Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and James Marsters in one spot? Yes, please!), so I think the horny part of my brain has mostly overtaken the bit that objects to the egregious miscasting.
Ferrell is short? Umm… they are ALL short. 🙂 That’s the only saving grace for us non-actors. Our wives (we hope) would think he’s too short! 🙂 If that’s not realistic, well that’s okay… I reject reality anyway.
