  Hugh Laurie would be perfect for the role of Thom Merrillin.

This would be my dream casting for Thom.  Loved so much of his various works!

So...I am new to the forum but I am a long time reader. 

I have created a basic list of actors/actresses that could work.  I tried my best to identify people of a correct age and look while also picking people with some experience but hopefully not so expensive that the TV show couldn't afford them.  

Moiraine's character is someone I picture being the most well-known.  I also picked people who MIGHT not have long term filming plans and could easily slide into this show (maybe doing movies right now or they are/were in a show that is ending).  At this point I have come up with a lot of the main characters that would be prominently featured in the first season.  I tried to list their current age and what they may be known for.  I did list height for Rand as it may be important to at least make him look taller than the rest of characters.

Wheel of Time Cast:

Rand Al Thor- Jacob Elordi 21 (Kissing Booth) 6’ 4”; Ansel Elgort 24 (The Fault in Our Stars) 6’ 3”;

Matrim Cauthon- David Mazouz 18 (Gotham); Ty Simpkins 17 (Jurassic World);

Perrin Aybara- Dylan Sprayberry 20 (Teen Wolf); Noah Centineo 22 (The Fosters);

Egwene al'Vere- Chloe East 18 (True Blood); Meg Donnelly 18 (Disney Channel);

Nynaeve al'Meara- Crystal Reed (Gotham);

Moiraine Damodred- A.J. Cook (Criminal Minds); Morena Baccarin (Gotham); Haley Atwell (Agent Carter);

Al'Lan Mandragoran- Manu Bennett (Arrow);

Paidan Fain- Robin Lord Taylor (Gotham); Robert Knepper (been in a lot);
