Never heard of any of those actors. Maybee it's because i am just an ignorant american.

Hell yeah, the others aren't even an option.

It's still not letting me edit my poll.

A young(er) Clint Eastwood is who you need.

Pfff, thats poppy socks if I ever heard it. I think if not Hugh Laurie it must be Moorse, can't remember the actors name.

John Thaw. He's dead now.

I think Sean Bean might be all right.

Internet Movie Database (The Internet Movie Database (IMDb)) Is your answer. I swear by it, personaly.

Sean Bean = Boromir in Lord of the Rings
Hugh Laurie = He's done loads but I think he's well known for the work he did in Black Adder (All four series and the "one off" shows. And movie.
Gary Oldman = Sirius Black of Harry Potter movie fame.
Rhys Ifans = Don't know this guy. Was in Notting Hill, Little Nicky, etc. Haven't seen those movies.

So, now ye are enlightened! Worship Om- I mean, The Internet Movie Database!

Isn't Sean Bean a little too blond to play Vimes? He might make a good Baron if they couldn't get Fabio (I just have a yen to see him scratch that long hair like a wolf).

What about Carrot?
who do you think would best cast in that role?

Come up with a few names and start a poll.
