J.D. Robb discussion

You're Eve Dallas. You are asked to describe what Roarke looks like? Which star would you pick. I would pick Chris De Burgh or Thaao Penglis, the way they looked in the 80's. So Who does your Roarke look like?

Julian McMahon as Cole Turner in Charmed.

Oh my gosh I didn't think about him!

I'm leaning more toward Chris de Burgh then Thaao Penghlis. I thought about Robert Scorpio of General Hospital but thought na. But Chris is tall, dark, handsome and he can sing.

The thing is you need someone that is gorgeous but can also look dangerous. Too many people suggest these superficial looking guys. It needs to be someone who looks like he can run circles around you.

Hmm. That's a thought.

Gabriel Aubry is what I picture Roarke looking like. He is the perfect match for Eve and every woman would drool over him when they see him. What a hunk!

Not me.

Gabriel is cute and dangerous looking. I don't even think I've heard of him. I just looked him up.

He used to date Halle Berry and is the father of her first child. He just fits the way I picture Roarke to look. Tall, lean but built, gorgeous and can pull off the dangerous look. I added two pics to photos of him.

I don't think anyone can do Roarke justice...I think we all have our own dream "version" of him in our head.

This thread is being moved to our Character Discussions folder. Here's a link to the thread that's already there for Roarke - Roarke. Feel free to add your thoughts & comments on our gorgeous Roarke! :)

We have an In Death Casting thread where you can "cast" all your favorite characters and see who other members pick for their cast. You'll find it here: Your Ideal "In Death" Cast.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pretty close...

Sandra, I'm with you! There will never be an actor that will do Roarke just. Well maybe, Pierce Brosnan about 30 years ago. He's the only one I would ever consider as ROARKE!

Or Julian McMahon (think Cole Turner). I need an actor that looks gorgeous but also looks like he has a brain and a past. Some of these pretty-boys just won't do

I'm with you, Mara. Pierce Brosnan even twenty years ago!

Charlene, I don't think any of us die hard IN DEATH readers would consider anyone else as ROARKE other than Pierce Brosnan.

Too bad the IN DEATH series was out about the time REMINGTON STEELE was on TV.

Yes, unfortunately all of our casting choices are aging out, which is very sad. I also love Pierce Brosnan. Maybe a young Hugh Jackman would have made a good Roarke. My current fav for Roarke however is Henry Cavill. He's got the blue eyes and has that grin. It will be all about the accent and the chemistry between the characters though, right? Sigh.......There aren't many around who can live up to our Roarke.

I just can't see Jackman as Roarke, Henry Cavill, though, YES!

I think we fans of the IN DEATH series will have our own fantasies of Roarke and what he looks like.

I'm glad you like that choice Kirsten and Charlene!
