I'll dip into Tombstone for my casting call.. Billy Zane as Vlad, and Val Kilmer as Daymar. Is he cuddly enough? As for Aliera, when I think small, and beautiful, but still aggressive, Gwen Stefani of No Doubt pops into my mind. I've no idea if she has any acting talent though. Excuses for Gwen entering my mind are often flimsy things. I'll second Dennis Leary as the voice of Loiosh, or propose the alternate Jason Alexander. I can hear either of them saying *two* dead teckla on your pillow! -Greg Schwartz
