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."
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
have God's image be ever-changing
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 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
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.

Ooh, I love her! I was lucky enough to work with her twice during my brief theatre career in SF.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
But then the angels have always been identified as men in mythology, so it's not surprising (even if it is a little disappointing) that they've all taken male vessels.
Other than Anna, we've seen one other female angel. Of course she was dead, a victim of the angel/angel violence during the Uriel-led attack on his garrison.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
In many ways, I think a teenager or young adult would be a more interesting choice than a kid, if you're going to go non-traditional.
It would make my little pop-culture heart happy to have him basically be Mr Miyagi.
It would make sense, I think, if he's been "human", to use whatever form he's been in--so it would depend on what they want God to have been doing. Apart from playing Skiball.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
For my own amusement, I'd like God to be an angry Korean woman.
Several years ago, a friend got way too drunk, walked home, and passed out on the sidewalk somewhere between the bar and home. The police found him and took him to an emergency room.
However long later, he woke up to a Korean nurse standing over him and scolding him, "Why did you do this to yourself??"
His first thought was, "God is an angry Korean woman? Huh."
