Moving on. It has been revealed that Jocelyn will be played by:
Maxim Roy
About Maxim (courtesy of Wikipedia): Maxim Roy is a Canadian actress. Among her other roles, she currently stars in the English version of the Canadian police drama television series 19-2.
My Thoughts: I really can’t identify what my feelings are on this casting. I’m not upset with this casting, but it’s not all that favorable either. I think I kind of prefer the movie casting (Lena Headey, pictured below). Right now I guess I can’t really see Maxim as Jocelyn, or see resemblances between her and Clary, but I guess that I’ll adjust more when I see her with red hair and side by side with Clary.
Lena Headey:

I truly loved Jocelyn in the movies. She was perfect! I agree I cant really see it right now, but along with the other cast members for the TV series. They are all slowly growing on me

She WAS a pretty good Jocelyn, wasn’t she? 🙂 Yep, I’m pretty sure I’ll get along with this casting soon enough, like with the rest of the cast! 😉

One thing the movie did right is the choice for Jocelyn. Not that I have anything against Maxim Roy, but I think Lena Headey shouldn’t have been replaced.

Yeah, exactly. Lena Headey was a great Jocelyn. 🙂 Hopefully Maxim Roy will give me same impression soon enough!

I agree, she’s not terrible, but she’s not great. Is Lena Cersei Lannister?? I can never watch that movie in the same way…

Yeah, maybe she’ll look more like a Jocelyn with red hair?
Actually, yes! That’s why she seemed so familiar, ha ha. When I first saw her, I was like, didn’t I see her in… ?? 😀
