*sighs* :'( Can't buy ThinkGeek things. Which is probably good for my economy.

You can always have me buy something for you off Think Geek and mail it to you, Dina.

Aww, thank you! That could be an option, specially with something relatively cheap to send.

Ooo, John Barrowman would be good.

On an unrelated note, I wonder what an all British cast for the Dresden Files would look like?

Maybe Alan Rickman for Harry? Any other thoughts?

Has anybody here got a complete list of characters from the books (thru Cold Days), or is it available online?  Maybe Jim Butcher has one he could share?  It'd make this a lot easier and more consistent.  I've drifted away from the books (mid-Turn Coat) and I'm having a tough time remembering all of the character names.  :(  [shrug] I'm marathon watching TV shows on DVD and am currently on The Mentalist.  Not enough time to do everything.  If I catch up on one thing, other things slip.  I need clones and a hive mind!

A while back I started working on a list of every character, and each appearance.  I managed to list everyone who appeared in RoF, SF, FM, and GP.  The list is up to 97 characters. 

I haven't worked on it in a while, but there are tons to go.  I promised myself that I'd compile more on my next series read-through.

I think John Barrowman would be good for one of the White Court.
Maybe Madrigal?

Lord Raith  ;D. But yes, he could do Madrigal too.
I don't like him for Marcone, though.

No, Barrowman isn't truly icy enough for Marcone.

What about just Voice Acting? For an animated work. He doesn't look the part, but I think James Marsters captures Harry's voice perfectly.

Agreed, in fact I would dare say he has enough range to carry most of the male characters... though I have always felt he made Thomas's voice too deep.  My top choice for Thomas both animated, and live would be Matt Bomer( Neil "white collar")
And going animated... I would change Butters From My top choice of David Tennant, to James Roday ( Shawn "psych")
