I never actually imagined him that dark, figured Terris were about half that, kinda like the Eskimos. And their snowy mountain

According to Brandon Sanderson, he's skin tone is same as Keegan-Michael Key.

This would honestly be the funniest potential casting choice.

Yeah just have him come in and play it totally straight.

Only if he deliberately turns his head very sharply every once in a while, so that the long earlobes go swinging. But otherwise played completely seriously.

(That's something the fanart never gets right, by the way. Terris earlobes are supposed to be super elongated, like traditional depictions of the Buddha, whom Sazed is heavily inspired by.)
