This was published (on “My Book, the Movie”) when Russell Crowe was 10 years younger, but I think the casting still holds up well! What do you think? Who would you cast?
You have to get Jude Law in there somewhere. I loved him as a pope. As for Laura Linney, I would see her in anything. I did like Claire Foy in the Anne role and I like your choice, Susan. There is something "off" about your choice's looks and that is always fun to watch.
I agree that Mark Ryland was great. I came up with this casting before Wolf Hall was dramatized (actually, the first volume hadn’t even been published yet) and had I seen him, might have just kept him! Not so much Claire Foy—too conventionally pretty (as most Annes have been.) As for Henry, I have to admit I don’t know Michael Kitchen. Will have to look him up. I still like Crowe in the role, though—at least, the Crowe of 10 years ago.
OK, I do know Michael Kitchen. Just didn’t know his name, but have seen him in many shows. I agree he’d be good—although perhaps a bit too much warmth for Henry.

Jude Law—yes, got to get him in there. Hard to figure where, though, because all the other characters are so much less important.
