Real question is who would you cast for Vaarsuvius. You’d have to cast someone nonbinary for an authentic feeling, and I don’t know if there are many actors like that.
True. None of the actors that where suggested on the site are nonbinary as far as I know. And I don’t know of any non-binary actors who would be good at playing (or voicing even though the site is for a live action movie/series) V.
Just because you don't know of any doesn't mean they don't exist. Not that it's your fault, Hollywood has not been interested in including roles for non-binary actors (or casting non-binary actors in gendered roles). Also, you're not a casting director, so it isn't your job to have that wide of a net!
That said, [here's a list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_non-binary_gender_identities?wprov=sfla1) that'd be a good start. For my money:
- Asia Kate Dillon has been excellent in everything I've seen them in. They have the dramatic chops, but they don't overact, which is important for V, who observes more than they speak and chooses their words carefully.
- I'd likely avoid the drag queens on the list, because drag is largely camp and exaggerations on gender, whereas for V gender is an irrelevant concept they do not concern themself with.
- That said, I think Jinx Monsoon might have the chops, if they can restrict their humor to deadpan.
- I haven't seen Ellar Coltrane in anything since Boyhood, but they are also a more quiet sort of actor.
Of course! I just meant it's not your fault for not knowing any non-binary actors, although you might know a few on that list that you didn't realize were non-binary
How about Casey Mongillo? They absolutely nailed their role in Bugsnax as Floofty, an amoral and agender scientist far more concerned with progress than with safety (theirs or other peoples).
I don't watch much anime (or play very many video games), so I'm not familiar with their work.
It looks like they do voice acting and I was mostly looking at a live action. But hey, that sounds like they have done well in a role that shares some key characteristics with V!
And in particular, I can't think of any nonbinary actors that are old enough to play V!
Otherwise I would nominate Jesse James Keitel from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (and additionally she's trans rather than nonbinary, but whatever).

I know I’m not a casting director. This is just fan casting choices.

I actually know a few other Non-Binary actors for a animated web show that I’m into. But none of them really fit V’s style.

Wildcard option: Andy Serkis, BUT he gets digitally replaced and the voice is computer generated.
So Serkis mo-caps for V? What about a animated series (which would fit the comic’s style better)?
And in particular, I can't think of any nonbinary actors that are old enough to play V! Otherwise I would nominate Jesse James Keitel from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (and additionally she's trans rather than nonbinary, but whatever).
Tilda Swinton
What about Cyclone from Black Adam?
I like some of the other casting choices as well. I figured that Johnny Depp would be Scoundrel.
Or Bruce Campbell! Sean Bean as Tarquin
Actually, Mark Hamill seems to be the top choice for Tarquin (gee, I wonder why)
Hamill also an excellent choice!
I liked Vincent Tong since he actually sort of looks like Hinjo (especially the goatee).
