Casting HBO's Green Lantern Corps

10. Larfleeze - Dan Stevens

Larfleeze may not be integral to 99% of Green Lantern stories, but it was hard to resist the inclusion when the chosen actor fit the part so well.

Dan Stevens is known for his excellent work on Legion, in which he played the eponymous character. Choosing him to play Larfleeze is not to suggest that the two characters are similar - just that elements of his performance could be re-purposed for a portrayal of the Orange Lantern.

One of these elements is the feigning of hearing voices, a feature that Larfleeze has as he murdered the rest of his corps out of avarice (the emotion of the Orange Lanterns). Another is the sense of egotism, something that Stevens wonderfully conveyed in the third season of Legion.

Put these alongside the fact that orange looks good on the actor and the two are a great match.
