But first let me say a sincere THANK YOU to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ala_tariel, anastdean, ckll, and gatorgrrrl. My dearests, your wonderful gifts are much appreciated. ♥
Now, here's what made me "bouncing" in my seat: I just ran into an article @ comicbookmovie where Anne Rice discussed Lestat, Twilight, and Robert Downey, Jr. (among other actors). Here's an excerpt that made me chortle:

[In regard to Stephenie Meyer and Twilight] ...And she did this stroke of genius thing of having these menacing vampires go to high school. [Laughs.] Which, in a way, I thought was incredibly ridiculous. Because what immortal would spend his time going to high school over and over like that? Go to Katmandu or Memphis or Rio De Janiero or Rome! But it was a stroke of genius, because it gave great pleasure to millions of kids. So its’ very interesting. But I think what makes it work is that old tried-and-true woman’s romance formula, which is rooted in psychology.Later on, Anne Rice also discussed which actors she thinks are good candidates for playing her characters. She named quite a few, and of course, being a faithful fan!girl, only this really caught my attention:
Jamie Bamber, he’s terrific, I was just watching him last night in England’s Law & Order. I’d seen him on Battlestar Galactica, but I’d never seen him unleash that beautiful diction.While I'm squeeing in delight, I can't help wishing someone would show Ms. Rice some episodes of Supernatural as well! *wistful*

Even without watching the series, I can just imagine how Jamie's diction impressed Anne Rice. One thing Jamie impressed me from the get-go is his articulation. I haven't seen any actor like him before and since!

I agree...he is a very well-spoken person. I could sit and listen to him for hours...

And you're right - there's at least *one* other likely casting option on SPN, in par.
The two of them could make such ominously delicious angsty, tormented vamps...

Hey, guess what? I just unearthed a bit of inconsequential yet coincidental trivia while reading up Anne Rice's bio: apparently she in her teen years lived in Richardson, Texas, where she went to high school and met her future husband (see here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_rice#Early_years)). And of course almost all SPN fans know Jensen was born and raised in Richardson, TX (see notable Richardsonians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson,_Texas#Notable_Richardsonians))! \o/
