I don't generally cast real people for books, but I love the idea of Robert Downey Jr. as Sully. The loveable, arrogant asshole seems to be a part he plays well. xPKaren Gillan is quite a bit younger looking than what I imagined Chaz to be, though.
I'm half way through the book and I feel like I'm only able to see Chaz the way Ren does. I actually haven't put a face to her. If I was at gun point I'd prolly say Rachel Nichols. Sully...no idea.
Although I did have a laugh. Every time I read a Drogue, I can't help imagining Gune from Titan A.E. No idea why!

I generally dont cast people, from the description of the lead guy I thought i would be imagining harrison ford/han solo but I havnt been, I have images in my mind of the way chas and sully look. I do like robert downey jr as sully. Im not very far into the book yet so will see what else comes to me the more i read!
Now that I'm a bit further in I'm finding I'm picturing this every time someone says "Sully"...
It doesn't help that Ren is described as having blue hair. I'm getting very muddled! I do like this book but it is a little hard to take seriously when all I can see is a grinning blue monster. :D
ok so this just popped into my head but what about Tom Hiddleston(loki from Thor and the Avengers) for sully? I didn't imagine him as the stereotypical hero, ya know tall dark and handsome. I thought of him as more lithe but strong. all you need to do is put a little grey in his hair and i think it would be perfect lolfor Chaz i was thinking Amanda Righetti. She plays Van Pelt in the mentalist and was in the Friday the 13th remake as Jared Padelecki's sister.
Chaz: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1119462/
Sully: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1089991/
But the one i can't imagine is Ren. Its hard because Chaz says that Dorsie is torn between wanting to adopt him or mate with him, so i have to imagine that he would be slightly feminie looking or at least "pretty" not "sexy" or "hot"
I don't normally cast anyone when I'm reading, and I didn't think of anyone while reading Gabriel's Ghost.However, while I was reading Grimspace, I kept casting Dystin Johnson (Norma in Shameless U.K.) as Dina. Which is in NO way even close to the characters physical description. I've just finished the second book Wanderlust and I have finally shaken this mental image of Dina and see her as the author describes her.
OK, I'm thinking that if I were the casting director, I'd go after Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Anna Torv (Fringe). Just realized they're both Australians. Funny.

Yes!! lol
For Ren, I kept thinking of a male version of Zhaan from Farscape:
Only, with hair, of course.

Very nice choice!
I wasn't really picturing anyone to begin with, I still can't with Chaz, but as soon as the Rossetti penny dropped Sully just had to be Aidan Turner.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2636108/
I couldn't quite get into it before that but I have a bit of a Rossetti obsession so that really clicked for me and now I can't put it down!
Sully was closer your Aiden Turner pic in my mind too - but I don't cast characters with real people in my mind. My image was just close :)
Claudia Black as Chaz, Matthew Bomer as Sully (needs to be taller though), and Ren is a tough call because he's younger then Sully but much taller as a Stol. So lets say Nathan Fillion as Ren.
I totally see Gerard Butler as sully and Lena Heady as Chazhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0124930/

Perfect love theas two. good picks
I don't know which covers you got on your copies, but I was impressed with mine and (mostly Ren's hair is too short) ended up casting those on the cover in my head. Odd because usually I am the one with my actors all lined up like ducks!
Sully and Chazzy

Thanks Jessica, I think so! :)
I noticed a lot of people immediately thought of Sully from Monsters, Inc. but the first Sully that came to mind for me, was Sully from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Am I the only one who thought of him? I mean, I don't know that I would cast him, but the name Sully brought him to mind for me. Just throwing that out there.

Ahh, I only see a red X. Cool. :)
For Chaz I'm seeing Karen Gillan (Amy Pond).
