I can picture him as Vimes very well, despite the differences in the literal description...

Default Sam Vimes in the Movies - 07-01-2007, 23:22
There is a well known or not so well know Australian actor, goes by name of Marton Csokas, watched him in a film a few weeks ago - Ultraviolet? I think he would be just perfect to play Sam Vimes. Rugged, not so clean cut looking - my perfect image of Sam Vimes!

Cool Casting the Discworld - 07-01-2007, 23:43
Oooh alright if you insist here - IMO only - are who should be who in the Discworld. If you don't know any of these here actors have a look on The Internet Movie Database (IMDb), tis a brilliant film website! Anyway here we go:

Sam Vimes - Marton Csokas
Nobby Nobbs - Steve Buscemi
Vetinari - Alan Rickman
Nanny Ogg - Miriam Margoyles
Granny Weatherwax - Dame Maggie Smith
Carcer - Rhys Ifans - he can be nasty enough!

Oh there are just too many to mention, but it's very subjective isn't it? Who I see as playing Sam Vimes or Nobby, might be awful to someone else. But as I said all IMO!!

You know, having just looked him up... I think you could be right!

This picture is what convinced me.

hmm, yes, I guess so. Strange that someone who has played in so many big films is still as anonymous... I wouldn't have had the faintest idea who he was, even looking at that photo !

Damn Spider pig

Marton Csokas looks very like Vimes from Where's My Cow?. I'd watch him gladly.

Wink who should play vimes - 11-13-2007, 22:52
Okay I like Bob Hoskins for Vimes or even for Sgt. Colon....or a Hoskins-esque physique with maybe a younger guy for Vimes.
As for Carrot maybe Ioan Gruffud?
Nobby would have to be Linda Hunt..she does asexual very well.
