Y'know, I have been thinking so hard on who should play Carrot and suddenly it just came to me.

What do you guys think about Charlie Hunnam playing Carrot?

Yes! I do still like the idea of Hugh Laurie, but could definitely see this. For those not familiar with Life on Mars, IMDB isn't really blessed with photos of Mr G, so here's a link to one:

whenever i read the watch books i see vimes as Pete Postlethwaite check out this link Pete Postlethwaite
he is the one who should play vimes in any watch movies
hugh laurie looks too well brought up for vimes who to be honest had a hard upbringing but pete looks just the part
And for nanny ogg it should be the actress who plays lisa dingle in emmerdale (cant think of her name) but she would be perfect after all she can control the dingle clan the ogg clan shouldnt be much trouble after that

WROOONG!!!

Hugh Laurie would make a good Patrician, but when it comes to Vimes, it screams TIM ALLEN all the way!

Also, BRENDAN FRASER and some orange hair dye as Carrot

you must be either mad or american. Buzz lightyear as vimes not a chance
I could see him in a nobby nobbs role though

Haven't been here in a while.

This is a topic that has exercised my mind on occasion and I believe Carrot should look like this.


Paul O'Connell Munster and Ireland second row.

'Tis a real pity he's a rugby player though and has a strong Limerick accent

I think the guy who played the lead detective on Midsomer murders would be the best. I even believe his character on that program had the same personality. Unfortunately I have a feeling that he passed away. He was certainly a lot more closer than Morse or Hugh Laurie.

I think you mean John Nettles... and he is still very much alive.
An interesting choice and I agree he would be worth considering.

I do believe you are right.

Midsomer Murders - Cast Details

I can picture him as Vimes. At least thats the kind of person I always imagined when I read the books.

while I sort of agree, I think that the john thaw (godresthissoul) would be to old, I see Vimes as a middle aged man who has aged simply because of his duty. I dont know who would be a good actor and at the risk of being unpopular I'd stab Clooney in the dark. He seems like a man who has aged grecefully and as such, with good make up, could look like a younger man aged by drink and hard work.

Poselthwaite was a good one (however his name is spelled.. ask his mother).

The best depction in my opinion wast the scarred and eyepatched version on the cover of Night Watch.


Which book are we talking about though? Vimes ages a lot througout the books.



P.S Please forgive my spelling, punctuation and grammer. I am on holiday and as such am trying to learn a new language so I am taking a liberal view to my mothertoungue (did I spell that right????)
