(SPOILER)

Some of our heroes (Gina Torres, Summer Glau, and some guy named Whedon) as choices to play God in a possible upcoming Supernatural episode.
Spoilers to Supernatural appear in this link.

Or, you know, James Masters. I hear he's pretty Godly.

Morgan Freeman I could see. Or maybe Harry Anderson (of Night Court fame) or Billy Connolly. The only way I could see someone under 50 pulling it off is if they cast it ironically... like David Hewlett or Jeff Lewis.

That said it would make sense for it to be Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

If he's not to take a vessel, but takes form for interaction's sake (and filming's sake) JDM is the obvious choice. I'm on the fence though, cause that means God chose the form, as opposed to some grand destiny as if John Winchester was to be God's vessel.
Also, does God need permission to take a Vessel, like Angels?"
"Hey John Winchester, can I come in?"
"No."

But then again, I think he's god anyway.

I'm all for God choosing to take the form of JDM. To be honest it's the only form God could take in Supernatural that would satisfy the viewers.
Edit: just saw a comment on that link:
'If the whole Lucifer/Michael is an allegory for Sam/Dean, then God being the father figure would have to be portrayed Jeffery Dean Morgan wouldn't it?'
Exactly what I think.
But the suggestion of Downey Jr had me squee-ing.

*waits as most of the American readers fail to understand this reference*
If you want someone different to previous portrayals, she'd be perfect (and it seems like a well-earned promotion).
How about Scott Bakula? Or Dean Stockwell? Man, I miss Quantum Leap.

That, or Anthony Stewart Head.

Then again I guess given how closely they've adhered to the thematic expectations of the bible then they may as well go ahead and cast Gina Torres since a lot of the characters seem to expect certain qualities and they may as well be wrong.

JDM is the obvious choice if God becomes corporeal given the "family" comment mentioned previously.
Otherwise, James Earl Jones' voice would be fun:
"Luke ... er ... Dean/Sam, I am your father!"

David Tenant? I always felt that the character of god should be laid back only serious when he has to be.
But of course Joss is always choice 1.
AngelDiva | December 01, 20:44 CET
Morgan Freeman I could see.
Morgan Freeman is totally part of the Whedonverse! (OK, maybe just the Whedonesque-verse.)

I'd also love to see Tim Curry, but mainly for the rickrollishness of his entrance. Perhaps one of his recent co-stars, Jeremy Irons/Vetinari?
Goddess? Pam Grier, without a doubt. She's like Gina's world-weary older sister, and would definitely be able to play the "I'm so TIRED off all this" card.

(presumably it was because she couldn't travel or similar ? Cos Emma Thompson would rock as God and added to that, a pregnant God would've fit right in with the film from the perspective of both irreverence and rocking the theological boat)
Saje | December 02, 06:45 CET
Now picturing some poor soul showing up at heaven's gates & getting rickrolled. Sure sign you're in hell.

Though as a big Supernatural fan, I'd prefer God not actually show up in human skin... maybe as a dog, like how he appears on Saving Grace.
