The "B" list actor best able to do justice to Elric?
Ian Somerhalder
This guy was born to play Elric.

Such a rectangular skull, and no hint of his body type.
Rakhir?

If Julian Sands had a younger brother, I'd go more in that direction.
I always think of Elric as being so androgynous that he is more beautiful than handsome. Someone that looks like an elf in a world overflowing with brawny, dark-haired barbarians.
I would hope that a Brit-Isles or Ire-man were to be chosen, because I'd hate his accent to be 'goofy'; likewise a relative 'unkown' would be preferable; and last but not least, sexy enough to make Het-males want him.
Anyone meet these 'requirements' of mine?

David Tennant - he's a very determined actor and out to "prove" that he can do more than Dr Who (he alredy has to me) - though I might keep him in reserve for a new JC movie.

Oh, Tennant? No...too old...and far too hyper. (Of course, it depends on which part of Elric's life is focused on).
I posted this idea in another thread - that kid from Sweeney Todd (and the latest Twilight movie) - Jamie-something or the other.
He's got the eyes for it, just not sure he has the height. He'd make a nice Elric if the movie is based on Elric of Melniboné.

Here is a body shot Ian Somerhalder in the movie "rules of attraction".
This head shot to me totally hints at him looking like a good albino Elric. His facial expression with a wry smile and very haunting

Interesting choice. I can see the facial structure in that lean shot, but his body-type is too stocky for his height, IMO.
Kinda nit-picking on the ephemeral qualities.
Can this guy act with any conviction the emotions necessary to portray lord Elric?

Ian Somerhalder can act fine. He played Marco Polo in a recent made for TV movie.
James Marsden as Yyrkoon. He played "Cyclops" in the X-Men movies.
