Beowulf looked like Sean Bean

It did look similer to Sean bean, but not exactly like him. I guess they thought somebody like him would be more appropiate as the hero or anti hero depending on how you look at him. I guess you might just call him the convenient warrior to kill the monster they have stirred into attacking them.

The real voice actor, Ray Winestone might have been compared to Wigaff -- his offsider-- or the King. Short and stockey.

Although I don't see harm in in using somebody that looks exactly like Ray Winstone. I guess hwe wouldn't be somebody that is the very epitome of Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. The Canon of Proportion. A pefect opposite to Grendel who's asymetrical as well as disfigured. His voice talent, like that of cockney speaking english man. A few people have found that inappropiate, but I don't mind so much. The details of these stories oftened get altered in the years and translations. Didn't Geats end up occupying south England. I know alot of people did, I guess that doesn't really matter now.

I like the way he talks, particuly when he's boasting or lying outright about what he did. Like killing Grendel's mother. he's good at lying, at sotry telling, but as the veiwer you can tell by the tone of his vocalisation that he embellishs alot.

I thought the female bard who plays the lute or mandolin was modeled on Glenn Close or atleast a younger Glenn Close. I think it's Robin Wright Penn. Not sure about her voice talent, but she did sing that hero song.

Grendel's mother on closer inspection looked like double of Angelina Jolie without looking exactly like her. Did she do the voice for her as well.

Sean Bean is the one who played Boromir in Lord of the Rings.

This cgi Beowulf looked like Sean Bean.

Ditto here, totally convinced it was Sean Bean until I saw the credits. Great cast either way.
