I love this description.

Well, we could never remember his name but the description fitted him perfectly and we all knew WHO we were talking about.
I think he'd make a great Rashid.

Oded Fehr is awesome! He's only 6ft 1, (and I believe Rashid's only a hair or two shy of Harry) but I'd buy a ticket for that, certainly.

Am I wrong to want to shove Ewan McGreggor in? I have no idea where, but it seems important.

No, I think he could make a decent Thomas maybe...

How's about Oded Fehr?  He was the, as we called him, tattooed desert dude from The Mummy.

I think that would work... do we ever actually see Rashid's face though?

In reference to me wanting Ewan Mcgregor in The Dresden Files:

You say that and now all I can think of is his performance in Velvet Goldmine

I think that Turn Coat says that Rashid is taller than Harry, something like 7 feet tall or so.

And for the last freaking time people, CLANCY BROWN IS MORGAN.

Evidently I don't know how to add a picture.  But when I picture Thomas in my head, I get John Morrison. 

Shoulder-length brown hair, slightly wavy.  Ripped physique, looks like a male model.

And Rashid is taller than Harry.  Harry said in Turn Coat, when Rashid put everyone to sleep, that he should've recognized him.  He's the only one on the council taller than him.

Thomas has a little more predator in him than Mr Barrowman can provide IMHO.

I’d love to see Guillermo Del Toro’s take on this with all the fantastic creatures that he fights it would be amazing.
That said, here is my list, maybe I put a little too much time and effort into it.  Ha.  Thoughts?

Harry – Josh Holloway/Jeffrey Donovan (Perfect combo of semi tough guy and witty remarks/not knowing when to shut up  (First choice would have been Bruce Campbell like 20 years ago)  No one in Hollywood is truly tall enough to play him so maybe they could do the whole Lord of the Rings thing that made the hobbits look hobbit sized

Murphy –Tricia Helfer  Yvonne strahovski/kristana lokken  Kristen bell if she was tough (same thing with above but none short /tough enough.  Liked Valerie Cruz from the show though, even though she doesn’t look like murphy from the books

Bob – Terrence mann
Thomas – Michael Fassbender
Molly –Anna Sophia Robb
Billy – I always picture him as Rudy lol
Michael – Thomas Kretschmann  (Cross in Wanted)
Kincaid –/timothy oliphant (badass in Hitman/justified)
Marcone – Micheal Madsen/Adrian Pasdar/Mark Harmon
Morgan – Mickey Rourke/Jeffery Dean Morgan (tough guy from watchmen would be good)
Lara Raith – Catherine Zeta Jones (Circa Zorro yowsa)
Susan –Jordana Brewster
Sanya-Djimon Hounsou ( I think this on eis unanimous)
The Merlin- Hugh Laurie
Anciet Mai – Michelle Yoeh
Mccoy – Sam Elliot
Mab – Charlize Theron (like in hancock)
Justine- Rebecca Mader (from lost)
Nicodemus – Nestor Carbonell/Julian McMahon
Bianca – Monica Belluci
Hendricks- Stephen lang

Actually i think for Mab Rebecca MAder would be perfect!  Sheds got the long red hair and is gorgoeus!
