...Don't ask me why I did this. I'm not all that sure myself.

Sooooo yeah. Rule 63. It's nothing new. The odds of DHX doing an episode around the concept? Pretty slim. Still... it's fun to fantasize every now and then, right? ;)

These would be my first picks for a cast to portray the male Mane 6 and other supporting characters (pretty much a follow-up to a comment post I made some time ago. For the purposes of this fantasy cast, I've limited my choices to actors based in Vancouver (with the exception of Gilbertson, who's based in Calgary).



In case some (or most) (or all) of these names are unfamiliar to you, here are some roles these actors are best known for, some of which influenced my decision in picking them:


 * Brad Swaile: Amuro Ray (MS Gundam), Light Yagami (Death Note), Rock (Black Lagoon), Teen/Adult Gohan (Dragon Ball Z, Ocean Group dub)
 * Peter New: Big McIntosh (Friendship is Magic), Sunil Nevla (Littlest Pet Shop), Ian Vashti (MS Gundam 00)
 * David Hurwitz: Mello (Death Note), Buttercup's older brother (Powerpuff Girls Z)
 * Vincent Tong: Prince Blueblood (Friendship is Magic), Flash Sentry (Equestria Girls), Touta Matsuda (Death Note)
 * Aidan Drummond: Kohaku (InuYasha: The Final Act), Huckleberry Pie (Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures)
 * Samuel Vincent: Double D (Ed, Edd n Eddy), Russell Ferguson (Littlest Pet Shop), Sonic the Hedgehog's singing voice (Sonic Underground)
 * Nicole Bouma: Blossom (Powerpuff Girls Z), Nena Trinity (MS Gundam 00), Matake Ogata (Shakugan no Shana)
 * Michael Kopsa: Roger Baxter (Littlest Pet Shop), Beast (X-Men: Evolution), Char Aznable (MS Gundam), Ovan (.hack//Roots)
 * Lucas Gilbertson: Zero (Mega Man X: Command Mission, Mega Man X8, and Mega Man Maverick Hunter X), Knight Gundam (Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3)
 * Alberto Ghisi: Kevin Whitney (Krypto the Superdog), Brick (Powerpuff Girls Z)
 * Cathy Weseluck: Spike (Friendship is Magic), Ken Utonium (Powerpuff Girls Z), Young Trunks (Dragon Ball Z, Ocean Group dub)
 * Jillian Michaels: Shippo (InuYasha), Goten (Dragon Ball Z, Ocean Group dub)

So those are my picks. Any you disagree with? If so, who would you cast as whom instead? (I'm willing to bet at least five of you would cast Neil Patrick Harris as somepony...)
