imat some of the suggestions for next season's actors, mel gibson, antonio banderas, denzel, tom hanks..... jesus this forum is stuck in the 90s
All those people are big stars and would be massive gets for HBO.
The real reason why suggestions like that are ridiculous is that names like that are likely too big for this kind of programming. Even with as critically acclaimed as this program is, movie stars aren't going to be looking to television.
Out of those people listed...Mel Gibson might be the only one that it would be worth taking a chance on this. He legit needs a "come back" and something like this would work out well for him (Of course, I doubt that HBO would even want to take the chance on him, which is another matter altogether).
Denzel? Tom Hanks? They get 10's of millions for work on the big screen....they're not going to leave that to work for cheap on an HBO program for 6 months.
MM and WH are executive producers, they had a lot invested in launching this program. But I'd be surprised if they could even find actors of their caliber again (Especially now that MM has that Oscar).
My guess is that from here on out, they mine for people that are talented but maybe just a little obscure, or maybe they look through past HBO actors (If James Gandolfini was still alive, he probably woulda been perfect for this....
)People expecting Will Smith and Robert Downey Jr....
Wow that speech from Rust about being in the dark and feeling his daughters presence and love touched me deeply, had to shed a tear my dudes
Overall satisfying finale, amazing writing, Top 5 TV duo, love this show
Cant wait for season 2

Yup. Glad I stopped checking the fan theories half way thru. This was an 8 part story that was complete before we even started watching. Not like any of the other shows we watch that have to "pay off" after 5,6,7 years of following...
And I'm surprised that so many of ya'll think Errol was calling Rust "Little Prince" in those tunnels even after you saw him hallucinating and they talked about him hallucinating. To me it was obviously a voice in Rusts head. Also explains all his "theories". The dude Rust was crazy and Marty was covering for him as his partner. He wouldve been fired if anyone knew...

Shocking
i keep wondering if there is some element of breaking the 4th wall with this show
i.e. the characters looking into the camera, Marty literally asking NP "Why are you making me say this shyt", etc.
i dunno. am i thinking too deep here?

I don't think Errol's dad was dead. Didn't he say "You'll keep for about another day..." he had been torturing him? Maybe I perceived that scene wrong.
His "GF" was his half-sister. which made things creepier.
What the fukk was up with him having a posh british accent and talking all proper out of no where?

Doing a television series like this might be looked at by actors as the "new" going Broadway,especially after all of the accolades MM and WH will/have gotten for this series.Television isn't looked down as a career killer any more.Stars such as Denzel,James Franco, Bradley Cooper are doing stage work currently.It's not far fetched for an actor of that caliber to decide they rather do a series like this rather than do a revival of "Death of a Salesman" or some shyt.
Keep seeing the question about Errol's accent come up....
Early in the episode, we see Errol come into the big house, "North by Northwest" is playing and he starts doing a James Mason voice. Then he slips into a number of other accents. What was behind that?
Nic Pizzolatto:That was part of his creation as a character. There was this idea that when he talks in his real voice, it's very slurred because of the scarring. My background for him was that he learned how to enunciate properly through watching all these old VCR movies. And that brings us back to the idea of storytelling, right? At one minute he can affect this Andy Griffith good ol' boy voice, the next he can sound like James Mason, and when he wants to use his real voice, he sounds like something wounded and damaged. And then when Cohle is in Carcosa, he sounds like something entirely different.

Exactly doing a series like this no different then Broadway. Denzel and Hanks don't get 20 million for Broadway shows. They do it for the love of acting. Top actors like Leo, Hanks etc can do this series for 4 to 5 months and bank 3-5 million. And get critical acclaim. you are foolish if you don't believe many big actors didn't take notice of all the love McConaughey and Woody were getting. HBO is going to go big for season 2 actors. If one role is a woman, you gonna have top shelf female actresses like JESSICA CHASTAIN etc lined up for season 2. Yes they can also go with smaller actors and mix it up. But they gonna swing for the fences for season 2.

Never watched this show. Is it good
season 2 i'd love to see gary oldman, dude can play anything. sam rockwell is also a good choice. john goodman maybe 
val kilmer w/a career revival ? sean penn...
as far as females-natalie portman. i don't think she, personality and role taking wise would be above it. anna kendrick, vera farmiga, lizzy caplan (but she's in masters of sex)
