This started in the "Famous" Guest Stars in Your Game thread, but I think this warrants it's own topic. Seeing as Star Wars is supposed to be a "cinematic" game, who do you envision -if you even do this- in particular parts in your RPG? For sake of discussion, the actor/actress can be living or dead, and of any age.
There is a bit of self-interest in starting this thread, since I'm currently running a campaign set post-RotJ "how I think it should've gone." That, and I want to use ideas from this thread to help in my campaign with visualization. I also happen to be a halfway decent impressionist, so I can also use "voice-acting" in-game as well.
I'll start by re-posting some ideas from the other thread:
Inquisitor Tremayne
 
An Arkanian holocron gatekeeper. However, the "plot twist" is that he actually fell to the dark side and became a Sith Lord. He now tempts others into the dark side by starting out all nice & wise...
Brian Blessed or Oliver Reed as Warlord Zsinj
Rutger "Roy Batty" Hauer as Kam Solusar
Julian Sands as a corrupted jedi apprentice or an idealistic jr imp officer
young Timothy Dalton as a minor noble or House Pelagia knight
Ian Richardson as either Xixor or some other senator out to oust Palpatine
Malcom McDowel as a Quixotic Jedi
Martin Sheen as an Imperial Academy lecturer
Michael J Fox as a rebel spy who has been tortured by Imps
Richard E Grant as a protocol droid or a House Mecetti Nobleman
Penelope Keith as a Rebel leader
I'm also looking for someone to play
Grand Moff Ardus Kaine. Vincent Price, maybe?
What ideas do you have/use for your own games?

Apology accepted, Koohii... 
Anyways, I'm also running "the Hutt Hit" from SW Gamer, using pre-generated dark side characters, and here's who I've cast:
Silas Carson as a Kel Dor Dark Side Devotee
Human Dark Side Marauder
Twilek Dark Jedi
And either
 or 
As the Sith Apprentice (masquerading as a Dark Jedi)

I recognize your Ba'al. Cute.
Julian Sands: corrupted jedi.
young Timothy Dalton as a minor noble or House Pelagia knight
Ian Richardson as either Xixor or some other senator out to oust Palpatine
On the left: 
Malcom McDowel as a Quixotic Jedi or an Imp Officer
Richard E Grant as a protocol droid or a House Mecetti Nobleman
On the far right 
I may try photoshopping some of these ideas a little better later. Unfortunately, it's sometimes hard to find the right image to start with.

Wow. THose images look bad. In fact, now they aren't there at all.
Sorry about that. Guess until I find the time to do my mock ups, you'll have to do your own research.

Hrm...all I'm getting is the little red x in the corner, no image. Maybe import the images into Photobucket?

So I'm thinking of incorporating elements from the Thrawn Trilogy into my campaign. When I picture Thrawn, it's more like an animated version of an illustration, with David Warner as the voice. However, Thrawn isn't from the Core, and shouldn't have a "Core" accent.
Also, who would work as Joruus C'baoth? Captain Pellaeon? I always pictured either Kris Kristofferson or the guy that played Gen. "Thunderbolt" Ross in Hulk as Garm bel Iblis.

Brian Blessed or Colin Baker as C'Boath? Both have that quality of being perfectly reasonable and suddenly switching to loud angry shouting. 
How about Ron Livingston, or better still Gary Cole, as Palleon?
Maybe because he learned Basic from people from the Core, and is a perfect mimmic as part of his cultural knowledge&appreciation, Thrawn might speak with a core accent? OK, it's a bit of a stretch, but ifit works...

I also ran a Ruusan-era "one shot" game, and I cast
Amrish Puri as the last of the Sith species
Leonor Varela (Blade II) as the Sith Apprentice
Gary Oldman as a Jedi Investigator/Sith Acolyte (beware when looking into the Abyss...)
John Amos as Arun Diath, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order
Hmmm....Aging Gary Cole and giving him a British accent just might work for Pelleaon....

How about this:
Who/what would you cast ___ as?
Hellen Mirren?
Richard Briers?

Paul Darrow? (Senator? Voice of Sith Holocron?)
Tom Sellec?
Judi Dench?
Walter Mathau? (retired Imperial captain?)
Martin Landau?
David Borneaz?
Seth Green? (sith knight?)
James Masters?
Bonnie Langford?
Alan Cummings?
Rowen Atkins?
Lenny Henry?
Julia Ormond?
Christopher Walken? (Senator?)--sith is too obvious typecasting
Gabriel Byrne? (Sith? Rebel Commander? Politician?)
Kevin Bacon?
Haley Joe Osmet?
Roy Marsden?
Alec (or any of the other) Baldwin?
Anthony Ainley?
Joan Cusack?
