Noah is the oldest of 5 kids, he has 4 brothers and 1 sister. After seeing how much fun his sister's were having in an improv class, Munck decided ...

Choice #1 As Ostin Liss. It may be type-casting for him to play the dorky fat kid, but the difference between Ostin and Gibby is that Gibby is stupid. I want to see Munck's rage expanded by having play the tubby tactician in the Electroclan.

6. Gaten Matarazzo

Actor | Stranger Things

Gaetano John "Gaten" Matarazzo III (born September 8, 2002) is an Italian-American actor.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, and raised in Joliet, Illinois.

She is of Italian (from her paternal grandfather), Irish (from her mother), German, English, and Scottish descent. Linda grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, California, the...

As Sharon Vey. People are saying she looks too young, but Cardellini is in her late 30s. That's plenty old enough to have a 15-year-old son. Also, Ostin has often described her as hot.

11. Alexander Ludwig

Actor | Vikings

As Wade West.

14. Dane DeHaan

On the silver screen DeHaan was last seen as Billy the Kid in The Kid opposite Ethan Hawke and Chris Pratt. He played the title character in Luc Besson's Valerian and The City of...

As Zeus. My reason is because of his performance in "Chronicle," where he portrays an angsty, misunderstood powerhouse, which fits Zeus's character in the first book. Zeus is sensitive about his odor and would flip out, much like how Andrew would flip out in "Chronicle" when somebody pissed him off. The only difference is that (SPOILER ALERT) Zeus eventually softens up.

15. Isabelle Fuhrman

Actress | The Novice

Isabelle Fuhrman is a critically acclaimed actress who can next be seen in Kevin Costner's HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA, opposite Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Danny Houston, Giovanni Ribisi and Luke Wilson.

Kristen Li was born on April 26, 2002 in the USA. Kristen is an actor, known for The Powerpuff Girls (2016), Monsters University (2013) and Modern Family (2009).

As McKenna. I originally had Ellen Wong under the excuse that she could still pass as a teenager, but she's almost 32, so I might be pushing it a little.

18. Abigail Breslin

Actress | Little Miss Sunshine

Academy Award-nominated actress Abigail Breslin is one of the most sought-after actors of her generation. Her unique and charismatic talents have contributed to her versatile roles in both comedy and drama.

Recently, Breslin headlined the first season of the horror-comedy series, Scream Queens (2015)...

As Torstyn. With what we've seen in the second book, he has potential to be a future threat to the Electroclan. His performance in "Twisted" gave an ambiguously homicidal streak, giving you that creepy presence.

23. Bella Thorne

Actress | The Duff

Actress and singer Annabella Avery "Bella" Thorne, known for Shake It Up (2010), The DUFF (2015), Blended (2014), and Midnight Sun (2018), was born in Pembroke Pines, Florida, to Tamara (Beckett) and Delancey Reinaldo "Rey" Thorne.

As Captain Welch. I originally had Stephen Lang in mind, but after reading his backstory in Book 6, I estimated that Welch would be around his 40s/50s.

As Gervaso. I had originally casted Ricardo Mendia Jr, but changed it for two reasons. 1. Purcell is actually old enough to have fought in the Gulf War. 2. Mendia's recent manslaughter charge.
