On the Casting Couch with Kate Allure

I’m sure every author visualizes at some point an actor or actress that would be perfect as the hero or heroine in their book, so I’m excited to share with you who I would choose if my stories from LAWYER UP were brought to life in the movies.

But first a word from our sponsor. (Well, actually, no, but I do need to mention that each book in my Meeting Men series is made up of a trio of short, sexy stories, so I get to cast six roles today.)

First up, in the role of heroine for “Attorney-Client Privileges” I would cast in the role of Bethi-Ann Sikes the actress from iZombie, Rose McIver. Her quirky inner strength with just a touch of comedic sass would be perfect for the role of a woman who comes from a dirt-poor background and finds it only goes downhill from there. Her savior, Jon Bateman, is a mix of divorced chip-on-your-shoulder angst and genuine hard-working earnestness, and for that role Patrick J. Adams, who plays Mike Ross in Suits, would be perfect, although he’d need to tousle his hair and adopt a more laid-back California surfer dude appeal. I think the two of them could make a sweet couple.

Casting the hero for “Of Unsound Mind and Body” is a tough one. The heroine just needs to be a strong, young, career-minded woman, perhaps a sincere Zoe Saldana or even a sassy Emma Stone. But the tall, dark, and handsome hero needs to be Native American with jet-black hair, bronze skin, and the ability to appear both urbane—he’s a big city lawyer—and in touch with his earthy, Indian roots. The only actor that fits this bill is Benjamin Bratt, but he would be considered too old for the role now, so it might require seeking out a new talent, a younger version of the still uber-sexy Bratt.

Lastly, my favorite casting would be for “Of Writs and Writhing.” The hero and heroine are older in this story, mid-fifties and forties, respectively. I actually mention the actress I would pick in the story— Rene Russo in her uptight but wildly sexy, take-no-prisoners role of Catherine Banning opposite Pierce Brosnan in the Thomas Crown Affair remake. To hold his own against such a powerhouse would require a strong man, an alpha-male with a wicked streak. Richard Gere would be perfect. His salt and pepper hair is so thick and luscious, I just want to run my hands through it, and his sexy, naughty, knowing grin would make any woman warm right down to her toes.

So there you have it—Kate Allure’s new role as casting director for her stories. But if you would really like to see who Kate would cast, check out her brand new book trailer for Playing Doctor, released August 1st. (Watch it on Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/p67ve3b.) Kate saw him, cast him, and talked him into appearing in her book trailer. Don’t you think he’d make a great Hunter Sterling in “Seize the Doctor.”
