Terrence Mann played Bob on the show and I think he's best.

Graham Greene for Listens-to-Wind.

One would hope in the movie that Bob would be portrayed as he is in the books.  A talking skull.  Instead of a person.
I'm going on voices for Bob.
Wes Studi for Listens-to-Wind.

There's another Native-American actor I'm thinking of.  I can see his face in my mind but I can't think of what he's been in, so I can't look him up. >:(

Nevermind.  I looked up N.A. actors and found Wes Studie.  He's who I was thinking of.  He's "Injun" Joe.

Also, how has nobody postulated Bill Murray as Bob?

Because for some reason, I think Bob needs to have a British accent, even if it's a very slight one.

Nah, a bit too crazy for Bob. Thorned Namshiel, on the other hand...
And yes, I'm aware he has vocal range, but still. And again, needs a british accent of some sort. I have no idea why. Maybe exposition just sounds better with one.

Nah. Jim reads Bob as very American... which brings us back to my insistence that Jim himself voice Bob. ;D

Too stoic for Bob.

Seriously.  He looks good in a beard, he can handle a sword without chopping off a toe, he can do accents (Briar Gates hillbilly accent still gets me).  He can do righteous, fatherly and badass all at the same time.

Is he too old for Michael?

Yeah, I'm afraid so. Btw, I love the idea of Bill Nighty as Langtry. Ever since the "Underworld" movies I've really fallen for his performance of bad guys - very cool. (And I guess I just let my anti-Langtry bias slip a little, huh?) ;)

I'll say again: James Marsters for Bob!!! Just think of all of his cheeky lines as Spike and you know he could pull off Bob. And he can do an English or American accent, whichever you'd prefer.  ;D My only regret is that Bob is represented as a skull so James Marsters' gorgeous looks wouldn't make it into the movie. Still, his voice is pretty darn sexy so I guess I'll survive.

Could always do a digital x-ray scan of Marsters head (or Jim's for that matter!) just like they did for Nic Cage in Ghost Rider. It's his skull. So yeah.

Hey, good point! And Marsters has very distinct cheekbones so it would be kind of cool for everybody watching to know that it was really him.

And going a little off topic here, that reminds me of something I've always thought should happen in DF: Harry makes an escape from somewhere and grabs Bob on the way out, only to realize he got the wrong skull. Later, Bob is insulted because Harry couldn't tell him apart from "all those ugly skulls out there."  ;D
