A while ago, when there was a thread on here about Dragonlance casting if/when they make a movie/trilogy about the novels I suggested Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller to play Caramon and Raistlin (Respectively). The pair is/will be best known for their roles as brothers Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield (again respectively) in the T.V Prison Break. At the time no one really knew anything about these two (Miller specificly) since the show had not started yet. Now that the show has been on the air for 2-3 months, I'm guessing (hoping) some people on here are watching the show, at least seen it once or twice. So I just want to revisit those suggestions and see what people think now that the two actors have been widely seen acting and acting together. I think these two would be PERFECT as Caramon and Raistlin. Of course Miller would have to slim down (as would any actor playing Raist) and while Purcell is already fairly big you'd probably want to get him a little bigger but they are already basically playing the two. Miller is smaller but more intelligent, a planner and always one step ahead and he always shows it in his eyes, his voice, in the corner of his mouth. Purcell isn't all that bright, has to have thinks explained to him, but the more physical of the two and (as seen when with his son or in flash backs) the more.....human of the two. We just have to put them in Krynn instead of Foxsworthy Prison. A perfect example of this interaction is when they are talking about Millers cellmate - Purcell's character says he can't be trusted, hes a thief. Miller has already thought about that but knows they need him, if hes not on board theres no digging, no digging means no escape. Hes a step or two a head while Purcell see's things simply.
