Ahh, I love Pan's entrance (pun totally intentional) . Ok, if it were a film, who in the big round world would play Pan?

I gotta go with Robert Downey Jr as Pan. What do you think of Kiefer Sutherland as the troubled Alobar?

How could we not go with Johnny Depp? His impish good looks, playful panache, nimble hooves...feet... and lusty satyr style just cries out--Pan! Can you see him in the deepest, most serene forest, lounging against a boulder covered by a thick carpet of moss near a tumbling stream where water nymphs play, fern fronds brushing his withers in time to the haunting notes that wafting from his pipes?

I also thought of Robert Downey Junior - still think I'd give the manic edge to either Robin or Jack though.
Johnny Depp could probably do something Pandemically Cool too, who knows what kind of persona he would come up with?
Otherwise someone a little less known.
I guess Kiefer could do Alobar if you made him dark, but to me Alobar is very dark and brooding. He needs to look Turkish or Greek...

I can't really think of any young contenders for Pan - but I guess he is ancient so it's okay, although he can't look too old. But I reckon either of these guys could Jitterbug it:
Jack Nicholson
Robin Williams
Those are my nominations so far.

Omar Sharif...Clint Eastwood...Sean Connery...depends on the accent you're casting, since Pan's a Greek, Omar's best placed since he speaks the proper lingo.

I nominate Sean Connery to play the role of Alobar. For his younger
days use Daniel Craig.

Connery was the one I thought of the first time read the book years ago.

How’s about Samuel L. Jackson?

For some reason I've always pictured Pan looking like a young Mickey Rourke.. Or Benicio Del Toro. Johnny Depp is almost too pretty. (Although he "uglies up" really nicely- like Captain Jack)
Jack Nicholsen would only work (for me) if it was Jack Nicholsen circa One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
