6. Lae'zel: Dichen Lachman

Dichen Lachman, with her impressive track record in sci-fi and action roles, stands out as an ideal choice to bring the Githyanki warrior Lae'zel to life. Lae'zel is defined by her unwavering strength, combat skills, and a strict adherence to the warrior code of her people. Lachman's performances, notably in series like Altered Carbon (my goodness, how I adored the first season of that show) and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have consistently shown off her ability to portray characters who exude strength and determination. As Reileen in Altered Carbon, she got to employ her skill in hand-to-hand combat and her aptitude for playing characters who are both physically intimidating and emotionally complex. These traits are essential for Lae'zel, who is not just a formidable fighter but also a character dealing with the rigid traditions of her culture and her interactions with other races.

Lae'zel isn’t just a mere warrior; she’s a character torn between her ingrained cultural beliefs and the realities she faces outside her community. Lachman has a proven ability to portray such internal conflicts with subtlety and depth, as seen in her portrayal of Sierra on Dollhouse. In this role, she had to to embody many different personalities, indicating her versatility as an actor. This versatility will be crucial in portraying Lae'zel's journey, which is full of conflict, growth, and a gradual understanding of the world beyond her own. 

TL;DR: Lachman's experience in handling roles that demand both physical intensity and emotional depth makes her an exemplary candidate to capture the essence of Lae'zel's character: a warrior with a story as compelling as her skills in battle.
