Casting HBO's Justice League Dark

10. Shade, The Changing Man - Rupert Grint

Due to the nature of Shade's powers, numerous actors will likely be needed for the character. However, seeing as his default look is a white male with shaggy red hair, there is an obvious choice as to who should be the first to play him: Rupert Grint.

Grint is not suitable simply because of his hair though, he has proven himself to be a fairly versatile actor since his days as Ron Weasely. For a couple of examples - in Amazon's adaptation of The ABC Murders Grint played the hard-boiled Inspector Crone, and in Snatch he was a not-so-smooth gangster.

The point is, Grint is able embody a variety of different personas, something which would be vital if the choice were made to have him voice Shade even whilst he's in his other forms. If not, he would simply be limited to playing the character's default version well.
