Yeah. But I could see Firth as one as well...kind of impatient or tempermental but with lots of ability.
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

Rickman makes the most sense IMHO.
Clearly Watchers wouldn't be all British. I thought Chow Yun Fat would be a good one. Vincent D'Onofrio of Law & Order: CI would be fitting as well. And borrowing from a post I put on the Angel thread, Christopher Lee would make a lethal "Dark Side of the Force" Watcher.
Do you see the ears of the plot bunny? I do, I do!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'd actually love to see Billy Bob as a watcher, meeting up with Quentin Travers.

Sen. Fred Thompson! Cynical Southern Republican Watcher!
Billy Bob Thornton would be very interesting, though.

"Let's kill some demons, y'all."(Which he would say partly cause he felt like it and partly to irritate Travers.)

I would *love* to read the silly!fic in which Rowan Atkinson plays a Watcher. You could take it two ways-- bumbling, saved by his Slayer; or Blackadder, with a Slayer who was more than a match for him and a Baldrick-style fellow Watcher... there are possiblities.

Chow Yun Fat would be an *excellent* Watcher.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Chow Yun Fat would be an *excellent* Watcher.
I haven't seen Bulletproof Monk yet, but it sounds a little kinda like he does that there.

I saw Bulletproof Monk and concur with the watcher-like dynamics.
Kenneth Branagh also came to mind as a model for a watcher. What about Hugo Weaving?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Okay, no, because I already have problems looking at Elrond and saying "it's Agent Smith!" or looking at Agent Smith and saying "It's Elrond!" Thus Hugo Weaving is not allowed to play any more genre roles, even in my head.
Interestingly, I never look at either Elrond or Agent Smith and say "hey, it's a cross-dressing lip-syncher!" Despite the fact that one really could go with that for Elrond pretty easily.
