Before I deliver my cast, I'd just like you to imagine True Blood mixed with Smallville. Think about all the DCU elements of Smallville that make you smile. Now think about the way True Blood is structured. Every character has something to do at any given time. If they aren't on the screen, you can easily think of where they are and/or what they're doing. Just like True Blood, every character becomes your favorite. You'll hate them all at one point or another but that's how character arcs work.

Just to make my "vision" a little easier for you folks, I've added DCAU wiki entries to the characters names(click the name in bold), in case you don't know who they are. Also, like my Teen Titans casting, I added a youtube clip from that actor/actress' filmography(click the name after the semicolon).

Finally, for those hardcore Static fans, I'm letting you know right now that I will tinker with your source material until I'm satisfied. I recently started reading the books and its been tough. I even started watching the show, which is a lot worse than I thought it was originally. So imagine the comedic aspects of the cartoon written better, and imagine the dramatic themes presented in the comics....written and presented better. In my little vision, some characters will be more relevant(Wade for instance), and plot lines are no exception. Since its pretty obvious, I'm becoming obsessed with this, maybe one day I'll write out what I see for the show and you guys can tell me just how amazing that would be if we lived in a world where people would watch a Static Shock television show.




Static/Virgil Hawkins: Julito Mccullum

(Star of the show. Nerdy, but funny and really nervous. Julito doesn't have dreads, and probably can't pull them off without looking weird, but he's really talented and charming. see: The Wire or Miracle's Boys)


Richie Foley: Xavier Samuel

(Richie is the friend who's always there, but forever lonely. Xavier played a gay kid on Newcastle so being awkwardly left-out should be no problem.)



Daisy Watkins: Kyla Pratt

(Probably the most unsure casting here. Kyla can act, but I'm not sure she could keep the sweet, innocent and brainy personality thats needed up.)

Francis Stone/Hotstreak: Bryan Greenberg

(Yes, I realize he's old. But that doesn't bother him from playing a highschooler on HBO. So if he's good with it, and can be convincing, then I'm more than welcome to it. Besides, I think there's room for some good Francis stories outside of randomly angered teenager.)



Larry WADE: Quinton Aaron

(Not a huge role, but a huge person. Larry Wade is unintentionally the source of many of Virgil's high school problems. Quinton would probably welcome a role where he isn't played as a loser.)


Robert Hawkins: Wendell Pierce

(Strict, but never-around-always-working-Father of our hero. Someone's gotta pay the bills. Wendell has shown on TREME that he can show that struggle and still be charming.)

Sharon Hawkins: Shamyl Brown

(She can play innocent, but she can play pissed off too. And that's important. In my Static series, she plays a much bigger role. She'll have her own story arcs to keep things interesting outside of Virgil and Richie.)

I don't know about your castings for Virgil and Richie... other than that though, it seems okay.

I'm not too confident in my Richie either, but no doubt Julito can do it. Go do something productive and watch The Wire. Ya know, the Greatest Show of All Time...

How about your boy Paul Dano?

Paul is too depressing, plus I don't think he'd do it.

That'd be a good choice, Paul Walker as Allen.

Calum Worthy, Ryan Kennedy, and Alexz Johnson, respectively. There you go.
