What actor would be best suited to the role of Sam Vimes in a Discworld City Watch movie?

Update:

Not at all Meds,the city of Ankh-Morpork has parallels with the cultures of both Britain and America here on Roundworld,so Americans would fit in on the streets of Ankh as well as British and Irish actors.

    Joe Pantoliano. Or is suggesting an American sacrilegious for a Pratchett novel?

    With Steve Buscemi as Corporal Nobby Nobbs, or maybe Constable Igor.

    And Brendan Gleeson as Sergeant Colon.

    i do no longer think of think of this could be a pass over, yet Emily Browning grew to become down the function of Bella Swan in Twilight which later went to Kirsten Stewart. i be attentive to she grew to become it down for the nicely suited reason: undesirable movies in keeping with extraordinarily written books. She did no longer desire to wreck her credibility as an actress. on a similar time it makes me ask your self on each and all of the money and attractiveness she ignored out on. issues might have been very distinctive.
