Where are they? Where are your friends now? Tell me about the loneliess of good, He-Man. Is it equal to the loneliness of evil?

When I first saw Dustin Clare, I thought of him being He-Man as well, seems I wasn't the only one. There are a number of actors on Spartacus who could easily find their way in to a MOTU movie.
The only person from Spartacus that I would really love to see would be Viva Bianca as Evil Lyn. She can look crazy hot one second, innocent the next and truly vile the next. Perfect for Evil Lyn I think:

Viva Bianca would be great in a role as a MOTU character. For Evil-Lyn I would think someone like Lucy Lawless would make a good choice since she is a little older yet still a beautiful and fit woman who can sport the tight and short outfits that our female warriors wear in MOTU. Lawless could also be a pretty good Marleena. Could you imagine her as Marleena and Kevin Sorbo as Randor?
I could see Viva as maybe Teela with her blonde locks changed to reddish brown. She definitely has the build and the look.

While Viva excels at being vile in Spartacus (I've hated that woman since I first laid eyes on her, and I love that she makes me hate her so much), I would prefer an attractive veteran, such as Lucy, or some other actress that I can't think of right now.
Can't back you up on Kevin Sorbo. My love for him died with Hercules (not the series, the 2 hour episodes, beyond that I couldn't watch it) and I just can't go back. Also, for as much as I love Lucy Lawless, Xena is almost unwatchable for me.
Search is over for He-Man. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Eric Martsolf:

... well he might be kinda cool. He was great as 'Booster Gold' in 'Smallville'!
He's too old! He's 40! Besides He's not a He-Man type. He's more of a Cyclops!

You need someone way, way more muscular, or the movie would be a waste of time. To get the vast majority of male audiences in, you need someone who LOOKS really strong. JMO
How do you like that, hero!
That's not really a problem any more. Assuming (which we all hope) it'll be a major release and not a straight to DVD b-movie, it's been decades since they cast bodybuilders in roles because of their physique (thankfully, especially these days now they all look so ridiculous). They train actors into the look rather than the other way around.
Whoever gets the role will be set up with a trainer, and they'll follow a specific drugs, training, and diet, routine for several months before hand.
In terms of fantasy casting, you're better off casting facially than anything else at this stage.
I hope you're right, however I worry that an actor can't bulk up to He-man's (classic toy or filmation) size within several months. That latest Conan comes to mind and I shudder. Come to think of it Motu has only been a phenomenal success when the characters were body builder degree muscular ( classic toyline + filmation vs the motu movie, new adventures, later toyline and series) I guess we'll see what happens, but that's just my five cents.
How do you like that, hero!
When casting He-Man, it is no as important that the actor already has the right build—any one can bulk-up significantly for a role—but that he has the right face. I was on the fence about him before, but Jessie Pavelka really does have both the body and the face.

Yeah, I gotta say he's still the best suggestion I've seen.
rather true, yes. many actors from stuff I've seen in the last months (Strike Back - Project Dawn series, Thor movie etc.) all actors surely had some basic good physique but were really pumped up with 6 hours training each day and eating tons of beef-jerky (high protein value). And possibly also some steroid stuff though they never speak of that in interviewsOr think waaaaay back of Charlie Sheen in Hot Shots with the "Rambo scene" - the guy was fully on steroid stuff back then and before that was just a normal looking actor.

It's plenty possible to get big without steroids. Folks really need to understand this.
I was once accused of 'jacking up' which I found rather funny and telling. The 300 boys did not take steroids for instance.
Also steroids give the body and certain shape which none of these modern super hero actors do. Why? because they are all doing the mad 300 styled crossfit training as appossed to just bodybuilding.
Palveka does look like he may have taken some at some stage though as he is far bigger in some pics again than say Chris Hemsworth. He still not stupid looking like a lot of modern bodybuilders you see on Flex magazine.

Personally I have always seen Evil-Lyn with more of an Asian look. I would want her to have a cold striking beauty. Something silimar to this actress from Memoirs of a Gesha.

ok, sure it's possible to get bigger without - however I wonder if a person can gain really much more mass in a rather short amount of time. But I'm no expert in this so that was just my assuming...

With the right trainer, right mindset and right food, yes they absolutely can!
I will refer you to Christian Bale's tranformation from The Machinist to Batman in a short period of time.
Chris Hemsworth never lifted a weight before filming Thor.

Yeah, I do think genetics come into play some there, but Hemsworth certainly proved it's possible. I read a story about how they were actually shocked by how much he was able to bulk up, to the extent they had to loosen the sleeves some because he was bulkier than they expected.
The only ones I can think for are Man-At-Arms, Orko, and Evil-lyn. Here's who I pictured:
Man-At-Arms: Jeff Bridges
Voice of Orko (it could either be a puppet or a cgi character): Seth Green (he did a good job playing him in the robot chicken sketches, so why not?)
Evil-lyn: Lana Parrilla (the evil queen/Regina from Once Upon a Time).
I agree...he just needs to get that gyno addressed before he holds aloft any power sword!!!
Agreed.It's plenty possible to get big without steroids. Folks really need to understand this.

I'll say this...I hope that whomever plays the role either has otherworldly genetics or Ups The Dose. He-Man is NOT supposed to look like an attainable physique! He doesn't need to be Dennis Wolf big, but a Berry DeMey-type wouldn't be out of line, I don't think.

Why not Chris Hemsworth as He-man, he has the international pressence now after Thor.

oh alright. Thanks for that info. then I'm not "lost", haha. I train 2-3 times a week for about 1 hour each session since 9 months or so. I did gain quite some mass (before that I was rather thin) but not the amount said actors did. However they trained definetely more (which I just can't due to job, wife and other stuff) and possibly my diet is not "sport based" enough. Besides that, looking at my family, the genetics aren't so much on my side either, haha.With the right trainer, right mindset and right food, yes they absolutely can!

Well, time will tell. At least I really enjoy doing my training sessions despite the not so "enormous" visual effects ;-)

Chris Hemsworth might be a good choice (based on his looks, body, and acting ability), but I'd like to see a fresh face. He's already been Thor. There has to be someone else in the world that can fill these those big fuzzy size 13'' shoes.
I have no idea what He-Man's shoe size is, but 13'' sounds good to me.
"They didn't need to...not with all of the wonderful work that the visual guys were able to do with the computers!!"
You cannot add mucles via CG dude. You just can't. I think it's very funny that folks think the guys in 300 all had CGI muscles. It look terrible if you tried
300 had colour filters done on computor (which is where folks get this crazy idea of CG muscles) and shading make up to enhance muscles. But you first need the actual muscle to enhance in the first place.
Unless you feel they CGI the muscles on set snap shots too? And all that footage of the guys working out?
Drink creatine and increase your sets to 4 instead of three and go two or three reps past your pain barrier. Trust me.
What folks seem to not take into account is that these Hollywood superhero actors have the very best trainers, giving the best advice and very best suppliments around.
If you had a dude shouting at you to lift or drag that weight in the best possible way and had shake or a steak or boilied chicken ready to eat, you would have a body like Captain America or Thor too.
These guys make their living from their bodys. Average joes like us do not so it makes no sense to be as ripped as these guys 24/7. Getting ripped for summer is enough!
