to cast the actor who would play the Liverpudlian, John Constantine, who would you pick?
John Constantine
Character » John Constantine appears in 1557 issues.
John Constantine, the Hellblazer, is a working-class magician, occult detective and a golden-tongued con man. He is well-known for his scathing wit, endless cynicism, ruthless cunning and constant chain smoking. A roguish counterculture anti-hero, Constantine is also a strident humanist driven by a heartfelt desire to defend mankind from the forces of evil.
If you had the choice...
Ewan McGregor is a good choice, I'm not too sure about Keifer Sutherland though.
What about James Marsters taking his stride from his Spike (Buffy) persona?
He did a really good Liverpool accent in Across the Universe
& he's a top notch actor.

OK he is not only one of the best british actors of ourl time, but also one of THE best actors or our time. He could pull off constantine's wit/swagger with ease.

Marsters has my vote.
I think his accent would be the hardest part to pull off. He's from liverpool but moved to london at 16, so it would change his accent, be a mix of the two.
But looks wise, Daneil Craig already looks like the older Hellblazer's John. Couldn't think of anyone who'd pull off the new younger Constantine...
@thing150: He looks nothing like Constantine.
Wasn't Kiefer Sutherland Big Boss? I don't think he even sounds like how you would think Constantine would sound.

I'm sure he can practice a good voice.
