Everyone has their personal faves to round out the roles of the Watchmen. Here are mine. 1. Comedian (Dennis Farina or James Brolin. Both are age appropriate). 2. Rorshach (David Patrick Kelly or Jackie Earl Haley) 3. Silk Spectres I & II (Diane Ladd and Laura Dern, real mother & daughter). 4. Nite Owl (Henry Czerny or Kevin Dunn) 5. Dr. Manhattan (Jeremy Irons) 6. Ozymandias (Ralph Fiennes, Brad Pitt or Val Kilmer) In what is arguably the most important comic based movie to date, casting is going to be essential.

Nah, they better throw that to Carl from "Family Matters." He's a ringer. Hell, while we’re at it, why not Todd Bridges for the prison shrink?

Nah, they better throw that to Carl from “Family Matters.” He’s a ringer.

He should get recognized more for Kelly Leak and Bad News Bears I say. But that would be great casting for Rhorschach definitely!

But that would be great casting for Rhorschach definitely!

Or...Dolph Lundgren? Eurgh. Too bad Mel Gibson doesn't have the physique to pull it off. But Jamie's suggestion is still pretty damn good.

And again, Kurt Russel for the Comedian. I think Bonaduce would probably be great for the role.

Another fromer child actor, Danny Bonaduce, who not only has the look but holds several black belts and has done stunt work before.
