In June, Star Wars fans everywhere breathed a collective sigh of relief when rumours emerged that Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson had been blacklisted from appearing in Episode 7. Apparently in order for the producers to avoid having to deal with hysterical Twilight fans. Which was a wise move since it means we can watch the film without Twilight fangirls squealing because Robert Pattinson whipped out his Lightsaber (No, it's not a euphemism). But away from the horrifying idea of a possible inextricable link between Twilight and Star Wars, the question of who will be joining the cast of Episode 7 is still largely unanswered. So we've compiled a list of eight actors who we think should be cast in Episode 7...
8. Kevin Michael Richardson
Why Kevin Michael Richardson? You may not recognise Kevin Michael Richardson just by looking at him but there's a high chance that you've heard this classically trained actor's voice somewhere among his three hundred plus computer game and cartoon credits. Although voice actors tend to be quite prolific, that's a still a lot of roles. Which speaks volumes for Richardson's talent. The incredibly diverse body of voice work he has behind him including Crunch Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot), Cleveland Brown Jr (The Cleveland Show), and even The Joker shows that this is a man with such an astounding vocal range that age, race, and species won't stop him from taking on almost any role and filling it very well. Richardson has dabbled in the Star Wars Expanded Universe before with voice work in The Clone Wars and a large number of games so it's high time that he graduated to the films.
Who Could He Play? If it's a voice only role, practically any conceivable character.
