Robert Carlyle would be GREAT as Hickey! Manson is definitely a tough one. Somebody big and relatively handsome, that can do stupid. Blanky is older, but considering the short life expectancy of an arctic explorer, I think that Titus Welliver would be within the range.
SPOILER ALERT
Remember also, that Blanky needs to be fit enough to believably leap from mast to spars to dangling ropes like Errol Flynn during his first encounter with the Tuunbaq. One of my favorite scenes in the novel.
END SPOLER
You mention Brian Cox. Any thoughts on him as a possible Sir John Franklin? -

i don't like it. i mean i like Brian Cox, but not as Franklin. Franklin was a fool (in the book). i like Colin Firth as Fitzjames. shoot you could make him Crozier if Colm Meaney isn't suitable. what about Tom Felton as Hickey? maybe typecasting sure. that dude can play nasty though. Jay Baruchel as Harry Goodsir. liked him in the book. Goodsir that is. i guess you could get that girl from The New World to play Lady Silence, or maybe Mizuo Peck from the Night at the Museum movies. i'd cast Bob Hoskins as Blankyif he were about 10-15 years younger. that's it for now.

I agree with the casting of Robert Carlyle! Huge fan of the independent film Ravenous(he was a blood thirsty two-faced creep), as well as Trainspotting where Robert was 'slightly' off his rocker as Begby.

Richard Brake as Hickey! He just seems like a good two-faced scrawny weasel. Creepy as well.if you remember the naked dance scene on the ice as a lure! He was one of the kidnappers in Hannibal Rising(under
the radar)..OR(slightly older) Willem Dafoe! -

I'd cast:
Liam Neeson as Sir John Franklin.
James Nesbitt as Francis Crozier.
Ioan Gruffud as James Fitzjames.
Lee Inglby as Lt. Graham Gore.
Alex Russell as Lt. John Irving.
Toby Jones as James Reid.
Sean Harris as Thomas Blanky.
Stephen Waltersanother one of the bad guys from Hannibal Risingwould be my choice to play Cornelius Hickey.
Can't think of anyone for Magnus Manson. -

Wikipedia gives Tobias cast as Crozier, but hey, it's Wikipedia, so better take it with a barrel of salt.
My guess is that he is playing either Crozier or Fitzjames.
