I recently ran across this post talking about Trevor from The Good Place ("with just an extra dash of 80s estate agent") as basically the OP's headcanon for Crowley from Good Omens.

.... and I was like, oh no. That's it. That's it exactly. My Crowley headcanon is Trevor. Sexy in a sleazy-traveling-salesman sort of way, A+ would bang but would regret it like hell the next day. XD

(I feel as if Lucifer from Lucifer is probably how I would have cast him if it was totally up to me, except that's completely wrong, that's the version that Crowley THINKS he is, but really is not.)

The only real problem I have with David Tennant as Crowley is that he's a little bit sleazy in the wrong kind of way.

Oh yeah, "sleazy in the wrong kind of way" is a great description.

[sholio]

It's a very specific kind of sleazy!

[trobadora]

*dies*

I agree with this post. (well, except for the A+ would bang, because my libido doesn't work like that, but I get the idea.)

And oh, yes, Trevor is such a very specific kind of sleazy.

[sholio]

Haha, yeah, it's a purely-metaphorical "would bang" for me, basically. But ... yes. XD (A specific kind of sleazy, yes indeed!)

I have not yet seen the relevant episodes of The Good Place, but the photographic evidence is convincing.

[sholio]

It is disturbingly apropos - not in all ways, but I think the overall vibe is right.

Yep.
Maybe tone down the personality slightly, and yep

[sholio]

I'm glad this is a shared madness, at least. XD

Yeah, I agree with toning him down a bit, especially the way Trevor is with women, because Crowley really isn't like that. But otherwise ...

[abyssinia]

Hm, I just watched the Good Omens trailer and Tennant is working for me too (okay, I admit I'm generally a sucker for his acting anyway). But yeah, actually some sort of hybrid between what I just saw and Trevor would be great.

Riz Ahmed would've killed it as Crowley.

[musesfool]

ZOMG YES.

But I definitely see the Trevor from The Good Place comparison.

[violsva]

OMG, you are so right.
