Let's dreamcast a Baldur's Gate 3 movie for funsies

7. Halsin: Rory McCann

Hear me out.

Rory McCann's casting as Halsin could be a stroke of genius, given his proven track record in embodying characters with a strong connection to nature and a physically imposing demeanor. McCann's portrayal of Sandor ”'The Hound” Clegane in Game of Thrones is a testament to his ability to blend physicality with depth of character. He played a rugged, battle-hardened warrior whose exterior toughness hid a secret, inner world. This character profile aligns closely with that of Halsin, a druid who is not only physically commanding but also deeply attuned to the natural world and its mystical elements. McCann could bring so much authenticity to Halsin.

McCann's towering presence and rough demeanor would be an epic fit for Halsin. Druids in the Baldur's Gate universe are guardians of nature, often stepping into the fray with both magical abilities and physical skills. McCann's experience in roles that demand physicality and presence, such as in Hot Fuzz or Clash of the Titans, would be invaluable in portraying Halsin's combat scenes. Equally important is his ability to convey a character's inner life, as seen in his incredible performance on Game of Thrones, where he skillfully balanced brutality with vulnerability.

TL;DR: McCann's combination of physicality and depth would make him an excellent choice to play Halsin.
