And in honor of the all the Last Episode hooplah, we could have the
Seinfeld version, with Jerry as Severian, of course. The others could be:

Jonas: George
Dorcas: Elaine
Dr. Talos: Kramer
Baldanders: Newman
Vodalus: The Soup Nazi
Thecla: "Mulva"
The Autarch: J. Peterman
Father Inire: The Maestro
Abdiesus: George Steinbrenner

I think I'll stop there.

Only slightly more seriously, I've been inspired by this list to reread
TBOTNS in its entirety for the first time in 15 years (a truly unsettling
experience I'll go into more on later), and the only thing close to any
Hollywood casting is that I hear Richard Dreyfus' voice whenever Dr. Talos
speaks. Don't ask me why.
