Actors best Fit for Canterbury Tales

Actors best fit for Canterbury Tales
Elizabeth Mitchell- The Wife of Bath
The wife of bath is described as a handsome looking female
who had 5 husbands and was always looking for someone new.
I picked Elizabeth Mitchell for this role because not only is she also
a handsome female, she acts well and could certainly play this part.
While her major roles mostly consist of her playing a conniving, calm, strict woman, I think that she could come out of her comfort zone and play someone crazy. Elizabeth first came to mind when I read the Wife of Bath because to me she fitted the character to a T. Elizabeth’s elegant face, long nose, and prominent cheek bones felt perfect for portraying a woman from such a long time ago.
Jonny Lee Miller- Doctor
The doctor to me felt like he was fooling everyone in town, like no one even suspected that he might be scamming them out of money, so my first thought was to find someone who looked like they could play a doctor. I came across Jonny Lee. Much to my surprise during my research of his past roles I found that he was actually cast for a role in the Pardoner’s tale TV series. Someone obviously agreed with me that he would be a good actor for a role such as this. With Jonny Lee’s extensive acting history I think that he would have no problem acting as a simple, con artist/doctor.
Benedict Cumberbatch- The Oxford Cleric
After watching Sherlock Holmes I knew that the scrawny, nerdy, school boy had to be Benedict. Even his curls were right for this role. Because he has played a smart role before he could most definitely play this background book nerd kind of guy. Just give him a pair of round, taped together, glasses and he’ll be golden! His major roles recently have all been set in the past so there is no worry about him not being able to get into the old time period kind of talk. I think he is a great welcome to the pack of three amazing actors in my version of the Canterbury Tales.
