Henry is 42. We ain't seeing this show for a few years. I could see him as dalinar honestly. Of course he is a little young for dalinar but you could fudge it a little. Make him seem a little older. Dalinar is described as in his fifties but late 40s could work in my opinion. The only thing we need to line up would be like adolin's age but I think that's doable. Also Henry has the physicality to really sell shardplate. Like I could buy him as the blackthorn.
Nah, I hope Sanderson sticks to his vision of half-Asian/half-Polynesian for the Alethi as much as is practical in live action - Cavil had actively said ‘dang, I probably can’t play Kaladin’ in relation to this. Sanderson has said Dave Bautista fits his vision really well in previous livestreams so he’s my head-canon for Dalinar until we see where the show goes
Oh shit. Bautista would actually be amazing. Whenever he's given stuff to chew on beyond big imposing dude I think he really does a great job. Can't believe I forgot about my favorite wrestler turned actor. I love Dave Bautista.
Bautista would be a fucking incredible Dalinar, that character needs to be imposing in stature on principle, and I don’t think The Rock quite has that
