A Pretty Great "Titans" TV Show Fan Cast

In order to maintain realism, and ensure that this list gets attention from the casting directors working for Warner Bros and TNT, I've made a list of quality assurance standards that I had to follow before I could cast an actor in any particular role. 

The casting was completed by meeting the following standards:

1. The actor must be available. Not attached to any show beyond the year 2014/2015.
2. They have a solid range of acting ability. 
3. They must have experience in a long run TV show, with fan following. 
4. They must be physically fit and/or capable.
5. They must have a good reputation in the media. 
6. They must fit the physical description of the character. 
7. The actors are under the age of 30. 

Lets Begin:

1. Nightwing- Darren Kagasoff (The Secret Life of an American Teenager)

Darren Kagasoff's acting was very impressive during his years on The Secret Life of An American Teenager. I had just seen the show on Netflix, and I was pleasantly surprised by the acting. Usually teen shows don't cast actors who are capable of handling deeply emotional scenes and can play tortured characters. They usually go for the looks. But with Kagasoff, they struck gold as he had both. 

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:

THR: How do you think you've evolved as an actor after playing a character for such a long time?

Kagasoff: "Being on the set, in general, you grow that way. Being around it, watching people work. We had a lot of guest stars, a lot of people who had been working for a long time; watching the other actors act. I take my craft and work very seriously so it wasn't like after I left the set I screwed around. It was the grind for five years."

2. Raven- Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars)

Janel Parrish is a multi-talented actress, who was killed off the popular teen drama Pretty Little Liars this season. One of the reasons her character was killed off from the show is because she simply out grew the genre, both by age and by her acting ability. Her range of emotions and her ablility to portray a complex character that struggled with mental illness - more than often outshined the main cast. When it comes to portraying the level of complexity in the character of Raven, Parrish will be able to deliver. 

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:

THR: What will you miss most about Mona in the present day?

Parrish: "I've gone through a lot of phases on the show as far as her character arcs. They've been insane and intense and extreme. I don't think I'll miss any of it though, because I think it'll still be present in flashbacks. I think you'll see flashbacks of different parts of her personality and all those different arcs will all be shown. I'm not sad about missing anything." 

3. Starfire- Katie Leclerc (Switched at Birth)

Anyone who has seen Katie Leclerc in the ABC Family show Switched at Birth will tell you that at first they thought Katie actually spoke with a deaf accent. During the shows run, the actress has been able to draw audiences in by portraying a deaf teen struggling with being switched at birth and meeting her real parents at the age of 15. While simultaneously signing, speaking, moving, and acting out emotionally charged scenes- the actress begs the Emmy's to pay attention. The actress has the acting chops, the physical structure, the confidence level and the hair doe to pull off the fanboy favourite Starfire. 
 

In an interview with We Love Soaps:

Katie LeClerc: "I don't think I've ever been challenged this much at all. It's really exciting to come into work every day and do all the stuff an actor always has to do—hit their marks, find the cameras, remember their lines—and then to do it while thinking in both English and in American Sign Language... and then putting the accents on top of it! I really feel like my professional career has reached another level. The great thing is that we've all become very close on set, and everyone is so amazing—including Constance, by the way, who is learning sign language!"

4. Beast Boy- Paul James (Greek)

Paul James helped ABC Family break records when he appeared on television as the first openly gay African-American character. He was able to handle the pressure as critics and audiences beyond the target market of ABC Family's Greek began to tune in to see how this young actor takes on such a heavy burden. And he delivered with class. James is also athletic, and has a big pressense on screen. He is able to switch between comedic and dramatic dialogue effortlessly, which is a key attribute in the role of Beast Boy. I highly recommend this casting. 
 

5. Wonder Girl/Cassandra Sandsmark- Andrea Bowen (Desperate Housewives)

Desperate Housewives was once the most popular TV comedy in the world. Andrea Bowen had become a recognizable face to viewers in Europe, Asia and beyond. Appearing as the daughter of Teri Hatcher's (Lois and Clark) character, Andrea became a fan favourite quite fast. However, the actress hasn't done much since the show had ended, sort of disspearing after a few seasons. Standing at a 1.65m, the blonde beauty has the physical structure and acting experience to portray Wonder Girl. Quite possibly the weakest link in the cast- she will make up for it through her charisma and appeal. 

PS: While compiling this list, I realized that ALL of these actors had previously worked for ABC or ABC family. 

What do you think? Who else should be on TITANS?
