The dreaded LMB casting thread

I re-read A Civil Campaign by Lois McMaster Bujold a couple of weeks back, and I couldn't stop myself from mentally casting all the characters. I specifically wanted to use actors as they appear now, or within a few years, anyway. In the interest of not spamming the LMB mailing list (since I'm sure they're all heartily sick of casting threads), I'll inflict it on you here:

Cordelia    Susan Sarandon/Glenn Close
Aral    Ian McKellen (as in Richard III)
Miles    Peter Dinklage/Danny Strong (depends how dwarfish we want to make him)
Ekaterin    Rachel Weisz
Gregor    Adrien Brody/Goran Visnjic
Laisa    Kate Winslet
Ivan    Rupert Everett John Barrowman/Rufus Sewell
Kareen   Reece Witherspoon
Martya    Scarlett Johansson
Olivia    Keira Knightley
Delia    Kate Hudson
Lady Donna/Lord Dono    Catherine Zeta Jones (yes, I have just spent the last half hour drawing a beard on CZJ's face. It works well enough. In fact, I borrowed Riker's beard - it was a good fit.)
Illyan   David McCallum/Anthony Hopkins
Lady Alys    Anjelica Houston
Byerly    Robert Downey Jr
Galeni    Colin Farrell (although after Miami Vice, I'm not sure)
Pym    Hugh Laurie
Roic    Keanu Reeves/Brendan Fraser
Drou    Linda Hamilton (she may need to pump it up a wee bit from recent pics)
Kou   Christopher Walken
Extra bonus Quinn    Angelina Jolie (I'm ambivalent about the character and the actress)
