Perfect Casting, part 2

[Chiana]

As much as I love Ben Browder (and everything Farscape), I just can't picture him as Harry.

[MagusLucius]

You miss my point.  He tried for rage a number of times, he just didnt pull it off to the level that harry would regularly need

I disagree.  Although, just the two series are hardly a means by which to judge his full capabilities.  Were you, by any chance, thinking of the final episode of SG-1 when you said it wasn't enough rage?

I can't recall any specific "rage" scenes from Farscape at the moment, but that scene from Unending isn't too much short of what I recall seeing from Harry.

I'd never have guessed you were a Farscape fan 

And the more I think about BB as Harry, the more I like the Idea.

[Dina]

I don't see him as Harry (but then, I was always ok with Blackthorne)

[MagusLucius]

And I never liked Blackthorne.

Insert the Rod, John.

Ill admit I dont remember much from the last season of SG1, but in Farscape he had a number of rage moments, especially a few in PeaceKeeper Wars, that literally had the spittle flying, but never struck me as the same flavor as harry, that slowly sleething, barely controlled type.  Blackthorne has it, especially these days in Arrow, but with Browder it just didnt feel the same to me.  /Shrug  Im probably not saying this right.

Well, personal opinions can be like that.  And it isn't like it's an earthshaking decision, but I never liked PB as Harry, he just didn't look right, he didn't sound right and he didn't move right.

All of that I can imagine in Browder.  But, again, that's just me.

SG-1 Unending: Have You Ever Seen the Rain

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

David Bowie for the Erlking.

[Quantus]

David Bowie for the Erlking.

Ouch, that hurts.  He is a whole different kind of Goblin King.  I dont think the Erlking would rock that kind of codpiece

Only one choice.  Rutger Hauer.  Although I haven't seen him in anything since The Tenth Kingdom.

As much as I love Ben Browder (and everything Farscape), I just can't picture him as Harry.

I agree and disagree... Ben is a great actor, I saw him recently in a doctor who episode of all places playing a texas sherriff in the old west.  I think he can pull off the attitude perfectly... but he is the wrong height and body style. I hold to my earlier statements saying that the part of Harry is going to have to be cast most likely to an unknown actor. No one in the public eye currently is quite right in my opinion.

Now speaking of farscape, if I were casting for Storm Front I would have Ben and Claudia play the part of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett.

The height can be fiddled with camera tricks.  As for body type, I can see it perfectly.  I do NOT see Claudia Black as Helen Beckett.

[KoshN]

I agree completely.

SG-1 Unending: Have You Ever Seen the Rain

Perhaps it's because I first saw Paul Blackthorne AS Harry Dresden, but I think he did a great job as Harry, and he's who I visualize when I'm reading the books.  I would not be upset if he reprised that role in the future.

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

Don't know if this counts as casting as such, but in my head, Demonreach sounds like a non-machine version of Harbinger.

  Who?  Is this a comic book character?  Because you obviously aren't talking about the Walker.
