I would have said James Coburn decades ago – I m not sure now. Timothee Chamalet? Any other ideas? |

Tom Cruise, because he's so short. 😄 But he would probably demand to be Fafhrd. |

Please, not Tom Cruise, in anything!! |

I would have said James Coburn decades ago – I m not sure now. I'm quite sure that any dead person would not be good for the part. Geezers like Cruise should be aging out for this. Andrew Koji is tall, but would look great in the role. Donny Yen would be a fun choice too. (Especially paired with Wen Jiang, they worked together quite well as a pair in Rogue One.) |

Bill Burr. He doesn't really have to be short. Just not imposing. I've seen him in The Mandalorian, and in Breaking Bad. He can act. Migs and Reacher. Let's put some American accents in Fantasy! We can't be satisfied with just Tyrion, and his fake Fantasy Accent was atrocious. Harrumph. |

@miniMo – yeah, that was what I meant – James Coburn would have been great, and also a perfect Stainless Steel Rat. But from today's actors I really don't know, I can't think of someone who has Coburn's presence. |

Kristen Bell. Maybe Kevin Hart. |

Yeah, maybe Kristen Bell – that would be an interesting twist. Maybe Will Smith – although he's a bit tall. |

Oh….Simon Helberg. He'd be a great fit. |

Magnus Carlsen and Kristofer Hivyu. |

Nathan Fillion. See any episode of Firefly or his later series where he talks his way out of a tight place. |
