KAEX Poll
Cast the Voltron Movie
A "Slightly OT" topic bounced around the KAEX mailing list in May 2001 about who the list members felt would make the best choices for the Voltron Force and their friends (and foes). I've linked to all the actors' IMDB pages for reference and pics. Also, each asterisk indicates a multiple vote for that actor as that character (for example: Pee-wee Herman*** indicates that FOUR people voted for that, uh, brilliant dramatist). Actors who received the most votes are listed first.
