Description To continue with the Hellsing casting choices, we now move on to the family butler, Walter C. Dornez. Finding choices for Walter wasn't too difficult as the actors here have either already played a similar role in the DC franchise as Bruce Wayne/Batman's butler Alfred Pennyworth or have been either fancasted for the part or at least rumored. So, for the actors I have here, they are as follows:

Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, Timothy Dalton, Jeremy Irons, Charles Dance, Liam Cunningham, Anthony Stewart Head, Ben Mendelsohn, and Pierce Brosnan. Like I said, the actors have either already played Alfred, been a fancast, or have been rumored. Irons, Fiennes, and Head have already played the character, though the latter two were voice roles with Fiennes voicing Alfred in "The Lego Batman Movie" and Head voicing him in "Batman: Gotham by Gaslight". Fiennes, Brosnan, and Dalton were all rumored to play Alfred at some point, with the first two being rumored for Matt Reeves' Batman film before Andy Serkis was cast in the role and Dalton being rumored for the DCEU Alfred until Irons was cast, and both him and Fiennes have expressed interest in playing the part in a future Batman film.

My personal choice is Fiennes and the reason is largely due to his age. I believe he's actually the youngest of these actors here, and since Integra is only in her 20's, it makes sense for Walter to be a bit younger as well, though I don't think his age is ever really specified in the series. Dance and Nighy are already part of the cast, the former being my choice for Commander Peter Fargason and the latter being my choice for Integra's father, Arthur. Though, truth be told, any of these actors could play either part as well as that of Walter, Penwood, Hugh Irons, and Walsh, since they all fall under the category of elderly British gentlemen actor, which is needed for those parts. But that's just my choice. Who's your choice for Walter? Let me know in the comments. Also, one thing I forgot to mention with Integra's casting is that there won't always be nine actors or actresses selected. Some of the characters, like Jan, only have around three or four picks. Depends on the character. So, don't expect this format for every character. Just a heads up. But anyways, like I said, let me know your choices for Walter in the comments.
