I'm new here...and only just started my 3rd Butcher book (Grave Peril) and I can't seem to get away from picturing in my mind Jim Butcher as Harry. 

I think it's the sweats and tees. I always see Jim in those and Harry's described as wearing those alot so I go "hmmm..."

He was one of the lab guys in a white coat in one of the episodes of the TV show.

I think this guy could pull off "Nicodemas"

He was on the show Poltergeist: The Legacy. He fits the stereo type of Nic.

I think Aldis Hodge would be a good Sanya.

Stop the presses!

I was watching Skating and saw this young man up close and he would make a terrific Harry Dresden!  He looks young in these pix, and well he is young, but Harry is aging slowly, right?

If I were to cast a building / set for Harry's office from the books, I like the one I see in the old "Ray Bradbury Theatre" show intro. I was watching the dvd set of it I have and the more I saw the office setting and elevator in the intro, the more I thought of the scene from Storm Front. It just fits in my mind. :D
