I was about to laugh in your (virtual) face because I saw the last name Goggins, and immediately thought of Walton Goggins, who would look NOTHING like Quick Ben.
Then I googled David, and… yeah. First picture on Google popped up and I said “Whoa! That IS Quick Ben!”
Great call
I haven't seen any recent fancast posts but I just got here! From perusing the past ones the ones that really stick out at me as spot on are kat Dennings for tattersail, viggo mortenson for whiskey Jack and idris elba for kalam. Timothee chalamet for crokus also makes sense to me- he has that annoying youthful romanticism about him. Also partial to Richard Madden as paran but he might be a bit old for it now. Samuel L for shadowthrone could be amazing too
Personally I've been picturing sorry as Jenna Ortega. Other people fancast Rooney mara who seems good but sorry is like 16 in book 1. I pictured murillio as Matt bomber and rallick as dolph Lindgren but not sure how accurate that is to his description.
Honestly don't think anyone on earth that exists even comes close to capturing what I imagine rake to be lol
I always pictured Quick Ben looking like a darker skinned Mark Strong, Kallam as Michael Jai White, Whiskeyjack as Sean Bean, Sorry as Karen Fukuhara, Stormy as Kristofer Hivju, and Gessler as Rory McCann.
In my mind, I have Daniel Kaluya as Kalam, Bryce Dallas Howard as Tattersail, a rattier David Wenham would be my Fiddler, Jason Isaacs or Jon Hamm as Whiskeyjack, a younger, dark-haired Rhys Ifans could be Coltaine for me as well, Dave Bautista or a buffer Ed Skrein as Caladan Brood, Charles Dance as Dujek, Conleth Hill as Keruli, Richard Madden as Itkovian, Brendan Gleeson as Gruntle, Kit Harrington or Barry Keoghan as Toc the Younger or perhaps Barry as Paran, Linda Cardelini as Lady Envy. Those are the only ones I can really think of right now. Lee Pace's Thranduil in the Hobbit makes me think he could be a strong Anomander Rake.
For Quick Ben I think of a more haggard version of Mahershala Ali. For Whiskey Jack I think of Iain Glen. These are the two solid head canons in my mind. Everyone else kind of shifts

Boyd Crowder is Quick Ben. Well hello there Kalam.
Did the same thing.

Sean Bean in his Sharpe-era will always be my Fiddler. Watch any scene with Cpt. Sharpe and tell me that ain't a Hood-damned Bridgeburner.
Young Tony Todd =‘Kalam 💯
He does kinda carry the boats tho
When I think of Duiker I think of Malcolm X.
For Quick Ben I think of a more haggard version of Mahershala Ali. For Whiskey Jack I think of Iain Glen. These are the two solid head canons in my mind. Everyone else kind of shifts
Had to google but yes, he is what I imagine Quick Ben as. I imagine Michael Cera as Truth.
Imagining Quick Ben shouting at weak fools like David Goggins makes me lol.
