The Author’s Dream Cast for THE VICIOUS DEEP TRILOGY
First off, when I started writing the series, I didn’t have actors in mind. Naturally, I do like to fantasize with casting, because what else would I do with my free time except Tumbl!? If you have a different opinion (I have been known to be out of my mind), let us know in the comments!
Tristan Hart - Zac Efron
He’s too old to play him by now, but I think he’d be perfect for Tristan. He’s a mix of boyish and cocky. http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201339/rs_634x1024-130409123404-634.2efron.ls.4913.jpg
Layla Santos - Jessica Szhor
Layla is half Ecuadorian and Half Greek. This is what she looks like in m head.
Brendan - Champion of the Northern Seas and Tristan’s cousin is beautiful, playful, and totally Sam Caflin.
Kurt - Maxi Iglesias
Kurt plays an important part in Tristan’s journey (no spoilers!) This guy works pretty darn well.
Thalia - Vanessa Hudgens
In my head Thalia has a green tint to her skin and hair. That’s hard to find on Tumblr, apparently. So here is an actress that I think has a beautiful smile that is contagious.
Bonus, she took a selfie with green hair.
Kai -
Kai is blonde with a light blue/green coloring to her scales. This isn’t an actress, but when I saw this image it clicked!
Arion - Idris Elba
Arion is named after one of my best friends growing up. He’s super tall and has a super deep voice that is equal parts dry and sarcastic. Arion (in the book) is dark skinned and has black and white scales.
Dylan - Champion of the Western Seas is obviously Charlie Hunnan
Dylan is one of my favorite characters because he’s got such a strong family history, but at the end of the day, he’s just as lost and confused as the other champions.
Princess Gwen - Ana de Armas
I admit it. Gwen is my favorite in book 3. She’s strong willed, but has a soft spot for her loved ones.
Nieve - The Silver Mermaid. The Silver Witch. The Daughter of the Seas. Beautiful and deadly, I’ve decided not to cast her. Instead, here’s a throwback to the first cover comp.
Disagree with my “casting”? Let us know! Who’s your Tristan Hart?

Its funny because I had a completely different set of people in mind XD
ReplyDeleteTumblr Boy Sean O' Donnell is how I saw Tristan. Many because of his eye color. Aquamarine eyes are very difficult to picture tho XD
Fitness Model Michelle Lewin is how I picture Layla :) She's latina(from Venezuela I think) and in really good shape, so I naturally pictured her.
Thalia was harder to picture for me. I guess I wasnt really picturing a woman like Vanessa, because her being 14 looking and small framed made me imagine just a freshman in high school who was pretty. Vanessa seems a mature for how I pictured :) But youre the author, so I must be wrong. Saw a pic that captured how I saw her but it was a digital painting.
Kurt, I made up my own hunk XD saw a pic earlier upon looking, but I have no idea how to html pics XD My sister never shows me!
