  Pretty good, although I’ve always felt that Summer Glau had an oriental look, and she’s very fresh-faced, athletic. I imagine Death to be paler, more elfin, more solemn eyes, younger. Black hair, of course. I would have picked Alexis Bledel.

  That’s actually not a bad choice either. And I was gonna say… “but can Bledel act?” And then I realized Summer Glau has really only been an autistic savant and… a robot.

  A lot of people seem to lean on Asian/Eurasian features for Death when it comes to their casting choices. She’s often drawn to have small eyes. I’m not so sure if Summer really fits the mold, but this isn’t the first time I’ve seen her as a choice for Death. Alexis looks more like Delerium to me (child-like face, eyes, voice… she’s an eternal 14 year old). I’m not sure who I would cast for Death. lol

  I think Alexis Bledel should just go ahead and play everyone.

  Lol yeah that’s what John said about Bledel when I suggested her, that she’s better as Delirium… I can’t imagine her with rainbow hair though. Maybe Anna Sophia Robb could be Delirium. Death is hard to cast!
