But Richard Armitage is the right age for Nightingale. Armitage is 41 and Nightingale is, well okay he is 113 this year but he looks forty and getting younger because of...well because of the big reveal coming in book six, but we should be able to have guessed it by now. Capaldi is way too old, and Gatiss will be too old by the time it lurches to the screen and will look far too old by the time any adaptation finishes (assuming it does a season a year until the end of book six). Casting Nightingale is going to be a bugger and a half, best assumption is they take a thirty year old and give him ageing up makeup then step the makeup down each season until they meet in the middle.

He might be the right age but he doesn't have that ability to command a screen thing (I don't know how you'd describe it) which makes him seem much younger (IMHO).

This. Richard Armitage may not be the right actor to play Nightingale (I've only seen him in The Hobbit and didn't have a very high opinion), but it's nothing to do with him being too young.

If I was fantasy casting, I'd say Michael Fassbender for Nightingale, if they get him a good dialect coach so that he could speak RP for the role, no Irish accent. (Before anyone jumps on me, there's nothing wrong with Fassbender's accent per se, it's just that Thomas Nightingale is upper-class English.)

Alternatively, there is an actual posh English actor who looks fairly right for the role and has the skills: Benedict Cumberbatch.

They're both too sought-after to take a part like Nightingale, but like I said, fantasy casting.

Benedict Cumberbatch would look too young I reckon. I think Peter is supposed to be in his mid to late 20s - even with Nightingale's ageing backwards thing, they would look too similar in age.

Michael Fassbender I think is too good looking. I think Nightingale needs to be one of those average looking guys who blends into the background.

I like the idea of Mark Gatiss, Nightingale is fairly Mycroft-ish.

No. According to Peter Nightingale looks like a hollywood actor from the 50's. I was thinking Gregory Peck, but softer.

I honestly thought Richard Armitage was in his 30s.
