Benedict Cumberbatch as Warden Chandler or wizard peabody but Nicodemus not so much, Jeremy Irons as Nicodemus yes.

Nononono, Anthony Hopkins as Nicodemus!

Peabody??? Nononono, that has to be some pointy-faced weaselly guy. Jared Leto comes to mind, at least in terms of a pointy face and slicked-back hair.

like 'love','hope' is one of those ridiculously disproportional words that by all rights should be a lot longer

That's okay - it was waaaaay back in the thread.
At least I think I suggested him.
Perhaps not.  Whatever he's a good choice.

Harry Dresden: Zachary Quinto
Murphy: No actress completely satisfies me but I think candidates include Sarah Michelle Gellar, Summer Glau or Brea Grant.
Michael Carpenter: Ewan McGreggor (Yes, I know he isn't very tall. I picked him anyway)
Thomas Raith: Brandon Routh?
Kincaid: Bradley Cooper
Morgan: Liam Neisen
Butters: David Krumholtz
Voice of Bob: Jason Lee
Leah: Famke Jansen or Christine Hendricks
Will: Josh Hutcherson
Martin: Anthony Rapp
Susan: Erica Cerra

I have to admit, I am intrigued by the idea of Chistopher Meloni playing Marcone.

I think Thomas Hayden Church would make a perfect Micheal Carpenter.

Robert Duvall for Eb and Jeremy Irons as Nicodemus.

What about Gary Oldman as Marcone?

I think Gary Oldman would be better as Nic - he does crazy too well to be Marcone.

I agree that Oldman could be a perfect Nic.  Since we're talking about "perfect" casting, I envision Marcone as a different body type than Oldman.  Stockier, more beefy, broader shoulders.  (Not that Oldman couldn't play the part, as I'm sure he could, but in my head he doesn't look the part.)
Everyone on this earth wants to feel like they matter.

I always envision Nic as late 30's early 40's.

I think David Tennant could pull it off, I really do.

For those who don't want to read back. Jeffery Donovan would make a great Nic.

I wouldn't oppose Tennant.

Actually I would like to see them use new actors, or relative unknowns.  Maybe a few cameos for established actors.

I know I'm coming to the party late, but I think of David Morse, when I think of Michael.

Actually, that's not bad.  I saw him do something where he was humble good guy. 

I know he doesn't fit the profile, but when I think of Michael, Christopher Judge comes to mind.  He has the height and build, and in the later episodes of SG:SG1 and SG:A, he plays a wiser and mature Teal'c.  I could see him playing the faithful, supportive, and humbly confident Michael Carpenter.
