A useless little aside that just occurred to me ....

George, from "Grey's Anatomy"?  A.K.A., T.R. Knight?  Should really play Nicholas Tooley in the adaptation.  (Of Dean's Tam Lin, not of Shakespearian times, though, for all I know, that would work too.)  This is only on my mind because one of this term's students?  Totally Janet.  Now all I have to do is cast Medeous in my head, and I'm all set ....

ETA, just because I'm dissertation-editing/planning-tomorrow's-class-on-Woolf/otherwise seeking distraction ... who would you cast?  In anything of your choice, who would you cast?  We all run into those people who click in our heads as fictional or historical characters as we imagine them (in high school, I attended chorus with a girl who was obviously Tamora Pierce's Thayet, and, man, was it distracting), so, in any work, any human being, actor or neighbor or student of friend ... who would you cast?

I asked Sharyn November if Medeous was based on her, but apparently she didn't meet Pamela Dean until after the book was written.

Still: tall, imposing, black-and-red hair . . . it wasn't a real stretch.

Oh, I *like* that one. I see Sharyn as being more like Liz Hand's Larkin Meade from _Mortal Love_, but one way or another, she's definitely one of the Vivid People ....
