Who would make the best Real Life Space Marine?

[ElectricPaladin]

Stephen Hawking as Ravenor. Brilliant mind trapped in a crippled body. Imagine if Hawking had psycannons mounted on his chair.

Who's to say he doesn't?

Who's to say he doesn't?

Sad part is i could see this happening.

Stephen Hawking would make the best Space Marine.

Think about it. 41st Century medicine could surely fix his "minor" neurological disorder, and being kind of a scrawny guy would be fixed by the implants. And then he's a brilliant - probably psychic - mind in an Astartes body. He'd find a way to save the galaxy for sure!

Edit: Oh, wait, you meant actors. Phhht. Whatever. I can't remember the names of the actors in a movie I'm watching right now, let alone anyone else.

Stephen Hawking has a number of acting credits according to IMDB... [url]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0370071/[/url]

I think he'd make a better Tech Priest or Inquisitor. But so long as he survived the implantation and conditioning, he'd probably make a decent Space Marine...

No Hawking would be an Inquisitor, think Ravenor.

Boris Johnson - governor general

[White Tiger88]

Vladamier Putin As Horus

Barack Obama as Vulkin

[Inquisitor Nelson]

Certainly Peter Capaldi as an Inquisitor (maybe Malleus but more likely Hereticus), and Russell Crowe (Gladiator style) as a space marine. CN

[Psychosplodge]

Jeremy Renner is Commissar Caiphas Cain HERO OF THE IMPERIUM.

(with Scarlett Johansson as Vail and Dave Bautista as a Reclaimers Sgt-or Deathwatch)

***** please, this is the role Jason Stathom should be playing.
Vail should be that bird from the hunger games (those juvenent treatments )

Patrick Stewart for Gaunt. And Sean Bean for Rawne...

I suppose on the otherhand you could just get the cast of all the expendables movies and make them spacemarines...

[Psychosplodge]

Dolph Lundgren was in the expendables wasnt he?

Also the Tanith are clearly from the North of England, some of the others would work for verghast and the other ones...

[Katharon]

Remember though that accents aren't going to matter that much. It's more the look and feel, as well as the experience of the actor in the type of character -- that's what I took into consideration.

And yes, Dolph was in the Expendables.
