Rin Hoshigumo asked B.J. Cyprian:

If Shadow Resistance were made into a movie, whom would you choose to play your characters?

B.J. Cyprian This is a question my wife and I have kicked around several times. I can only give a mild idea for some, but I had an actual actor's face in mind for others.

Dom - Lena Waite (This one isn't set in stone, but probably the closest I can think of off the top of my head)

Layla - Janelle Monae (This is one we've kicked around a few times and we keep coming back to her, although she's much shorter than Layla's description) I also have been thinking about Kylie Bunbury lately.

Rose - Grace Byers or Tessa Thompson

Vasquez - Eva Mendes or Jessica Alba or someone like that. I would want a Latina, but one who would, like Vasquez, "pass"

Ryan - Morris Chestnut (He's who I keep envisioning)

Robert - Donald Glover would probably be my first inclination.

Lewis - We've kicked around several names. I like Domenick Lombardozzi, but he probably doesn't meet the full criteria. lol Maybe Michael Weatherly, he'd be good I think.

Tristan - this is the one I've ALWAYS had the same guy in mind even while writing, Neal McDonough.

SARA - Another I just have in mind because I LOVE her and her accent work - Toks Olagundoye.

Judge Benjamin - Vondie Curtis-Hall or Craig David would be cool.

Kensie Benjamin - I know she doesn't fully meet the description, but Dana Delaney would be dope.

Joyce Jenkins - We keep kicking around so many people on this one. We've said Debbie Allen, Loretta Devine, Anna Deavere Smith and others.

Whew, that's pretty much all we've talked about. Would LOVE to hear your ideas.
