I for one am thrilled, and I think the calls are for the characters named, not some red herring to hide something else. In Season 4 we had Anna, Kristoff, and Elsa casting calls (no red herrings). We had Arthur, Guin, and Merlin for Season 5.

Sure, once the season gets going and we have calls coming 4-5 episodes in, they will perhaps decide to cloud the issue, but not for the premiere, and maybe not even the second episode in.

Now, as to the casting, I already put forth a nomination for Sinbad on a different thread. I think that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (the actor that played Mr. Eko in Lost) would be great for Sinbad.

Now, I think that, since we are getting stories from the LOUS, Scheherazade as a character makes sense. She is a storyteller. I don't have a good suggestion for her, but I hope they find someone from Bollywood that can fill the part. there are some really good actresses from there. Freida Pinto for one (Look up Slumdog Millionaire), though I can't imagine that she has the availability.
