Castiel did briefly take on Jimmy's daughter as a host, so there is some crossover.
Part of me would like to see Betty White in angry swearing Lake Placid mode as God.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gabriel has pretended to be many men, but really only the one host, I think.

I'd be surprised if Kripke et al go against all the father talk and cast a woman in charge of everything. It doesn't seem their speed.
This makes sense. One running theme has been the recurring masculine familial relationships - brother/brother and father/son(s). God would have to be a father figure in that scenario, so a woman probably won't work.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't have any predictions for God casting but I still hope for a Cate Blanchett Michael.

As long as they don't go with the burning bush again.
David Steinberg routine:
Moses approached the bush that was burning and not consumed - and burned his feet. God said, "Ha! Third one today."

Okay, I don't want anyone to play God - I don't think there is a need for it. I hope they don't cast the role and allow some mystery there.
I suppose they could (as was discussed awhile back here) cast God as an every person and have God's image be ever-changing. That would be my second choice.
May I say how vehemently opposed I am to all of the choices listed there. I mean WTF.
Anyway, my suggestions to add to the list if they have to cast it: Anna Deavere Smith, Ian McShane, Michael K. Williams, Patrick Stewart

Joan of Arcadia style?
Michael K Williams has a nice crazy look to him. The idea of him playing Zachariah's father figure tickles me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It would be kind of awesome if god appeared in the form of a smooshy-faced lion... but I'd be perfectly OK if god never actually showed up.

I think I was the one who mentioned having God manifest through varous normal people earlier. Heck, they could forego the normal people and have all the main actors alternate God's lines with those of their own characters, having Him speak through everyone on scene in their turn.
