 ohh god help us here comes the whole race thing again.
while dragonball characters' ethnicity is quite uncertain, for DN i think that's not the case.

quoting:
Quote:
 
When asked about L's nationality, Ohba responded saying "I think of him as a quarter Japanese, a quarter English, a quarter Russian and... maybe a quarter French or Italian? Something like that

and that, i think, is interesting.

on the other hand, Light is, as a matter of fact, Japanese.


so, unless this is an americanization / transposition (a la romeo+juliet, ya know?) i'd personally want actors with the proper ethnicity.
Omnia enim stolidi magis admirantur amantque,
inversis quae sub verbis latitantia cernunt,
veraque constituunt quae belle tangere possunt
auris et lepido quae sunt fucata sonore.

Indeed, the stupid most admire and love all
that is scarcely discernible, hidden by abstruse words,
and accept as true all things that sweetly caress
the ear, and that are masked by a pleasant sound.

--Titus Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, circa 80 B.C.--
