I'm sorry but I hate this cast already with the exception of Keith David & Seth Green. I believe that the ME characters should be played by their real life counter parts unless it is 2 far fetched. I dunno Y ppl keep saying Matthew Fox should b Shepard. Mark Meer the voice actor of Shepard isn't sum BIG Hollywood star & that's Y he works. Shepard should b sum1 different & unexpected like when Christian Bale was chosen 4 Batman or Chris Pine as Kirk. The cast should cast should have depth & b able 2 push the envelope like the games have.

Hell if he didn't pass away last year I might nominate Andy Whitfield from Spartacus 4 his way of captivating an audience.

If I was picking a cast 4 an ME movie @ this point I would start here based on the Characters in your list:

Major Cast ■Commander Shepard = Channing Tatum ■Ashley Williams = Famke Janssen ■Kaiden Alenko = Sam Worthington(could be interesting) or Jason Mamoa ■Garrus Vakarian = Brandon Keener ■ Liara T'Soni = Ali Hillis ■ Tali'Zorah nar Rayya = Ash Sroka(voice) ■ Urdnot Wrex = Steven Barr ■ David Anderson = Keith David ■ Jeff "Joker" Moreau = Seth Green ■ Donnel Udina = Bill Ratner

Minor Cast ■Navigator Pressly = Dwight Schultz ■Doctor Chakwas = Helen Mirren

Major Villians ■Saren Arterius = Fred Tatasciore ■Matriarch Benezia = Marina Sirtis ■Sovereign = Peter Jessop

Minor Villians ■Fist = Paul Giamatti(might work) ■Administrator Anoleis = Armin Shimerman

Other Characters ■ Asari councilor = Sigourney Weaver ■Salarian councilor = Armin Shimerman ■Turian councilor = Alastair Duncan
