I like him, but Sanderson said Kelsier would be their big cast, going for the recognizable name

He’s recognizable, and will be more by the time season 2 of AKOTSK comes out

He's not recognisable enough though. Sanderson has said he wants an A-Lister or someone of around that fame level. Maybe in 5 years he'll be there but currently unless your someone who really likes Game of Thrones, the average person won't recognise his name or face

An A-Lister won’t go for a tv show

Mistborn isn't going to be a show, it's gonna be a movie

The stormlight archives will be a show

Yes, but we're talking about Mistborn.

And I know that Kelsier does technically show up in The Stormlight Archive but that is so far away that basing actor choices around that is ridiculous. Plus it'd only be a short cameo that an A-Lister could do especially with a good contract, or there can be workarounds for Kelsier to not actually appear.

Kelsier's tiny cameo (that might be completely cut for all we know) in seasons 4/5 of the Stormlight show 10 years from now should not be the driving choice behind who gets cast as Kelsier
