For the final Member of the Month competition for the year of 2012, I want to get away from the whole "VPN-related/writing/graphic" focus that we've been having for a while, and branch off into new territory.
That being said, all of us watch television. Correct me if I'm wrong. And all of us have gotten attached to characters and the talented actors and actresses that portray them. And what's one of the funnest things about developing a show!? Casting, of course! And whether we realize it or not, there is a lot more that goes into casting than one might think. With that, you're next challenge will be;
Recast an existing show! For this round you will be asked to pick any television series and recast actors who appear as series regulars. Keep in mind the personality of the character(s) you will be recasting, and the objective is to create a second cast that would potentially be as good of, or even a better fit than the original cast.
Rules (More like things to keep in mind)
- Stay true to the original character and actor. Like you're doing a remake. - Pictures of the old and new actor may help, but they're not needed. - Do your research. Try not to go with the first actor that comes to mind, because there's probably an even better choice out there. - Please enter, and have fun!
You will be judged on:
- Originality of cast - How your new ensemble shapes up to the original.

Does it have to be a showing airing now? Or can it be a show that is off the air?

No, it can be any show that has ever existed; on or off the air.

Also, a question came up about using animated series.
There's nothing stopping you from doing it, but I would recommend recasting a live action series, just for the simple fact that animated shows don't you real physical actors, just their voices, so it'll be like you're casting for the first time, instead of recasting.

**NOTES** - For my MotM entry I've decided to go with FRIENDS. This show defined a generation of twenty somethings trying to live and love in the Big City... throw in some hijinks and a "how you doin'?" and you have FRIENDS. I decided to go with FRIENDS because it's been off the air for a little bit but I still love watching it like the first time. I think that things have changed A LOT since the 90's and that it could be rebooted to speak to a younger crowd. If that was to ever happen I really hope they take a good hard look at these actors and actresses for the part.

Alright, so I really miss Charmed and had to jump at the chance to recast the show. I went with a little younger cast.

Teen Wolf! Fantastic show that wasn't nearly as corny as I though it was going to be. I've realised after my recasting that this is most likely to be a British reboot of the American series Thanks MJ for making me watch both seasons as well as helping me with image formatting. Scott McCall Before: Tyler Posey After: Darren Criss Allison Argent Before: Crystal Reed After: Kaya Scodelario Derek Hale Before: Tyler Hoechlin After: Ian Somerhalder Stiles Stilinski Before: Dylan O'Brien After: Joey Richter Lydia Martin Before: Holland Roden After: Karen Gillan Jackson Whittemore Before: Colton Haynes After: Brando Eaton Peter Hale Before: Ian Bohen After: David Boreanaz Sheriff Stilinski Before: Linden Ashby After: Nathan Fillion Bobby Finstock Before: Orny Adams After: Dylan Moran
