We've had plenty of discussions before about who should play the older Professor Kirke in LWW, but it struck me today that we've never fully re-considered the casting in the light of David McKenna as the younger Digory Kirke.
As such, I've been brainstorming a few ideas for actors who I think could plausibly pass for an older version of David McKenna (without the need to resort to excessive amounts of hair, make-up and prosthetic alteration) though I've still yet to find anyone I'm 100% on.
Although we don't yet know what decade LWW will now be set in the amended timeline, I'm going to go for a reasonably wide range of possibilities from 40 years old (1985) up to 70 years old (2015), assuming Digory is supposed to be around 10 years old in MN (per the original casting call) which appears to be set in 1955.
I'm also going to assume they will be casting Older Digory this year, either for a final scene / post-credits shot in MN, or for an early start to production on the second film straight after the first - or in other words, I'm taking their current age into account, not their projected future age.
So, in short, we are essentially looking for middle-aged white men with a somewhat stocky frame, that kind of look a bit like a grown up David McKenna. I'm also still not ruling out the notion that they might want to explore the "meta" angle of Digory as a surrogate character for CS Lewis himself, so i guess bonus points for anyone that you think looks sort of like Lewis.
So throwing some random names out there to start with....
