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

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.
