Dayton: The Junior Guardian Chronicles: Fantasy Casting

So I wanted to post something fun and this idea came from J- Vader who made a post in the last Dayton Episode about which voices would go with some of the characters. I didn’t have an answer right away, but I found myself thinking about this over the past couple of days. So I thought I would post my conclusions here as a fun exercise. Where people can then post their thoughts or own fantasy cast picks.

The original question was voices for each character which I thought is what makes this fun as you are basically casting like a voice actor or the vocal performance for an audio book. So the actual look of the actor doesnt need need to come into play.

Also note the artwork was just a fun mashup. I gave AI the actors and character samples and then it compiled it into a picture. It was interesting results. I probably could have workshopped it better if i kept working the prompts but this is just supposed to be a fun post and it works for that.

So here is my cast list:

Dayton Harris → Peyton List
Work sample: Cobra Kai (official clip)
Nicole → McKenna Grace
Work sample: Ghostbusters: Afterlife (official clip)
Kinsley → Isabela Merced
Work sample: Dora and the Lost City of Gold (official trailer)
Hayden Walsh → Sammi Hanratty
Work sample: Shameless (official clip)
Hannah → Maisy Stella
Work sample: My Old Ass (Official Trailer)
Dayton’s Mom → Laura Linney
Work sample: Ozark (Netflix clip)
Mr. Ezra J. Rhys → Paul Bettany

Cassie Whittaker → Kaitlyn Dever
