For the uninitiated, Lan is a bodyguard/protector of one of the main characters, Moiraine. He is pretty much the biggest bad arse in the entire series. He is from the Borderlands which have vaguely Asian customs throughout, although Lan has blue eyes.
Henney has also been on a bunch of other stuff, like XMen Origins, Hawaii 5-0, etc.
He's tall and built well for the part. Looks like this could be some really good casting.

Looks like a good casting for Lan, some of the other people casted seem strange to me, for example Perrin, Nynaeve and Egwene just don't look the part to me. I think their trying to create a "diverse" cast I hope thats not the case. It will be interesting to see how the Andorians look, as Rand needs to look half Andorian and half Aiel.

All they need is a native American now and it will check off all the diversity boxes.

I tried to wiki Wheel of Time. Seems like a futile effort with how sprawling it all looks. Can anyone help out with the basic setting for the first book; or is that a difficult question in itself?

Good choice for Lan. Really the only two character castings I have an issue with so far are Perrin and Nynaeve, which were straight up diversity castings. Which is fricking stupid because Randland as written is diverse as hell.

Basically any channeler can treat him like a child.
The biggest badass in pure fighting ability is obviously Rand but Verin had the biggest balls of all.
Sorilea was a badass too, even though she could barely channel.
In my day, girls jumped when a Wise One said jump, and continued jumping until they were told to stop. As I am still alive, it is still my day. Need I make myself clearer?
