DISCWORLD MOVIE Casting Couch

Mort
(Apprentice to Death)

Mort - Apprentice to Death

Youngest son of Lezek. Tall, red-haired and freckled, thin white face, with the sort of body that seemed to be only marginally under its owner's control; it appeared to have been built out of knees. He has the kind of vague, cheerful helpfulness that serious men soon learned to dread.

Despite these drawbacks Mort was chosen by Death to be his apprentice, and during that time became considerably less undirected and considerably more serious.

But later...
...while he still has plenty of knees and elbows about his person, they seem to have migrated to their normal placves, and he no longer moves as though his joints were loosely fastened together with elastic bands. He used to look as if he knew nothing at all; now he looks as if he knows too much.


Possible Casting: Leonardo DeCaprio, Andy Dick (News Radio.), Nicholas Brendon, (Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Topher Grace (Eric from That 70's Show), Seth Green (Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Rik Mayall (Young Ones, Drop Dead Fred.), Ewan McGregor.
