4. Karlach Cliffgate: Frankie Adams

The beautiful Frankie Adams, with her track record in the action and science fiction genres, seems tailor-made for the role of Karlach. Her portrayal of Martian marine Bobbie Draper in The Expanse showcases her ability to embody characters with intense physicality and a deep sense of duty. That’s perfect for Karlach, a fierce fighter and lovely lovely lovely lady who is deeply entangled in her own struggles and allegiances. Adams's physical appearance and her ability to handle action sequences would give authenticity to Karlach's combat scenes, while her proven skill in conveying messy emotions would bring depth to Karlach's internal conflicts and moral dilemmas.

Adams' onscreen presence is characterized by a compelling blend of strength and vulnerability. That fits Karlach, who is not just a warrior but also a character with a rich backstory and emotional layers. Adams’ role in One Thousand Ropes, where she skillfully portrays a young, troubled woman dealing with personal demons, demonstrates her capacity to bite into emotionally charged material. This aspect of Adams' acting would be crucial in exploring Karlach's personal journey, which is full of challenges and character growth.

TL;DR: The intensity and integrity Adams brings to her roles would greatly contribute to a layered and impactful portrayal of Karlach, making her an ideal choice for this dynamic character.
