The reason I asked about Ryan Reynolds as Wally West is because of this piece from Comics Continuum.
He looks totally wrong for it, even assuming hair dye and colored contacts, damn it.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Alan Rickman to provide the voice for Marvin the Paranoid Android!
That's ideal.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Definitely. I'm at a loss to think of anyone else who could do as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now I'm imagining either Woody Allen or Vin Diesel doing Marvin's voice, and they're both cracking me up. I think I'd always heard it a bit Woodyish, but more manly.

For me it has to be a patrician voice (preferrably British) that can just drip contempt and lack of caring.

You know, I never heard it in my head as particularly patrician, and now I'm blanking on how the radio play and the TV show did him.

I can't even.

Rickman really is perfection for Marvin. I'm hearing him that way already. I dunno if he is a bit overexposed (see: Potter, H.), but as long as it works for me, that will be fine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I remember the radio Marvin being rather Rickman-ish -- very deep, very British.

Plus Rickman can do the "I'm so painfully bored" overtones that Marvin needs.
