very familiar..i have studied O'Neill for nearly 25 years.
but you need some amazingly strong actors to fill these roles.
Christine and Lavinia alone will be your most difficult..why tv/film actors..why not strong well trained stage actors.

it can be theater actors... but to make it easier on our class since most people weren't familer with the work, he allowed us a greater pool to choose from.

So any actor would be great

now if it were stage
Ezra: Brian Dennehy
Lavinia: Donna Murphy/Kathleen Turner/Judy Mclure
Christine: Sutton Foster (better actress than singer I think)
Adam: Brian D'arcy James or the guy playing lory in Little Women
