Board 8 > CAST IT! - Death Note

(+) Yeah! (+)

CAST IT! involves the idea that a live action movie is being produced based on a comic/show/game/etc. Casting actors to play the major characters in the film.

http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/CAST_IT!

Rules:

Each of the specified characters will be cast. Whatever actor gets the most votes for each will be the winner. Ties will be determined by tiebreaker poll. Topics will end when there is a decent amount of votes (ideally 48 hours). Characters aside from the ones listed may also be cast if there are multiple votes for them, but the ones listed must be.

You may vote for as many actors/actresses as you like, and are in fact encouraged to do so if it helps find the best fit for the role.

I'll take a chip... AND EAT IT!

Mello - Aaron Carter

Well, had to be one tie left unbroken

I could consider changing my vote to Ezra Miller if it helps. He is a bit younger. (Can't believe Aaron Carter is almost 30)
