The Rhino was played by Long Feng?! That guy is seriously brilliant. Those two are so different. The only sad thing is now I can’t see Long Feng sweating when Azula owns him without bursting into laughter while thinking of the Rhino.

None, as far as I know. The only thing I've ever read about this is that the decision to cast a voice-actor for Scrappy Doo was made by the producers.
If it makes you feel better, authors typically have very little input into what their cover looks like. And a book's cover is probably more important to the success of the project than the voice of a particular character. (I don't predict that will make you feel any better, though).

He was pretty good as The Joker actually. And as Firelord Ozai in Avatar. Probably better than as Luke Skywalker.

And no influence whatsoever? Damn.

Yeah, some of the characters would be very hard to cast, Tom. The good (?) news is that the writers have pretty much no influence in the casting decision. My guess is that you wouldn’t even be consulted about who you would like.

I think it’s pretty hilarious that Mark Hammil did the voice of The Joker. Eww…

Dragonball the movie is like taking my childhood and repeatedly… performing an illegal action of a graphic nature… on it with a shovel.

Anyway, I’m more concerned with voice actors for my work, since that will be necessary one day! Assuming it’s made in America, I wouldn’t mind Zach Tyler Eisen (Aang in Avatar: The Last Airbender) now that his voice has broken, or Jack DeSena (Sokka in Avatar: The Last Airbender).

As for Helen, Mae Whitman (Katara in Avatar and Rose in American Dragon), Ashley Johnson (Gwen in Ben 10: Alien Force), Lacey Chabert (Gwen in Spectacular Spider-Man), or even possibly Grey Delise (billions of roles in bilions of shows).

George could be David Kaufman (title role in Danny Phantom) or Josh Keaton (title role in The Spectacular Spider-Man).

Lennie could be played by whoever played Dexter from Dexter’s lab. (lol, kidding!) Seriously, I don’t know, I’d have to find someone whose voice is breaking, or can imitate a breaking voice. Thirteen is a difficult age for voice actors. Maybe I could do what they did in season 3 of Avatar, where Aang’s voice actor’s voice had broken so they edited it to be consistent with the rest of the series.

Professor Esper… Mark Hammil (Luke Skywalker, The Joker in Batman: TAS and Firelord Ozai in Avatar), Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor in Justice League, the Dark Dragon in American Dragon, Detective Stacey AND the Rhino in Spectacular Spider-Man, Long Feng in Avatar and Mr. Krabbs in Spongebob Squarepants!), or… hmm, this is difficult… I like the style of Mark Hammil and Clancy Brown, but their voices are too deep. This will be difficult.

Poor, poor Alan Moore.

I’d also insist on writing the script. No one’s gonna stuff up my work! Haha.

I would prefer an animated movie over live action. That way the actors wouldn’t necessarily have to look like the characters.

It would be cool to have it in anime style, sort of like the one used in DNAngel*. I’m a little obsessed right now, because we have a small collection of manga in my school library and I have a friend who never stops talking about it.

I’m halfway through the second volume of The Dreaming by Queenie Chan. It’s set in an Australian boarding school out in the bushlands, where girls have been disappearing ever since the school was set up. It’s creepy and I can’t wait to read the rest.

Correction: It appears the ReTARDISed Whovian would not mind an animated movie as well.

Comic-to-movie scenario? I don't think I could live if my work was re-made live-action style and ended up like that dragonball movie that MUST NEVER be acknowledged. I'll probably be alone on this one-- but I'd like a full length animated movie. ...But if it were made into live action, I think I'd prefer unkown actors (so long's that they actually know how to act; AND look accurate when in make-up).

When I finish my story and get all my characters sorted, then I’ll think about actors.

Yes, actually! Haha.

That’s a good idea about unknowns. I’d probably do that too. Need a young, unknown, african-american character?

Holy crap! Adrian came to life. I know my creations are full of life, but this is ridiculous.

If my work were to be turned into a movie, I think I’d want unknowns to play the characters, whether it was live-action or animated.

If there had to be some famous people for advertising purposes, I’d cast Nicole Kidman as June Maehara. She’s about the right age for it, and with a haircut and a pair of contacts she would fit the role quite well in a live action movie. If it were animated, she has the right voice for it anyway.
