OK so I'm coming out of "lurk and read" mode to post this:
I was watching Leverage and came across Andrew Bowen. The voice isn't perfect but I think he's a solid "maybe" for Harry.

He (Nicholas Gonzalez) doesn't do the trademark smirk so well, but this is Ramirez in my head.  <3

gonna endorse the Andrew Bowen suggestion. There are few actors I think meet the actual type cast of Harry, but this guy could pull it off, particularly as he gets older.

I could totally see that.

As to Andrew Bowen, I don't think I've seen any of this stuff.

I've seen the links, and even when I think he looks quite well for Harry in a picture, when he begins playing it doesn't convince me. He is too cute for Harry.

If Bruce Campbell were still an appropriate age for the character, I'd say he has the attitude and quick wit seemingly required to play Harry, just not the NBA height requirement. However, he's used to playing a role where it's him vs seemingly the worst baddies in the underworld.

Okay, I had an inspiration.  What about Katee Sackhoff for Murphy.  She's a bit tall, but she does fit the character.

First, she's blonde. 
She could be "the girl next door" and be "somebody's aunt".
As Starbuck, she kicked some ass, and she showed a soft side too.

I think it fits.

I am totally on board with Katee Sackhoff as Murphy.  She completely fits the character, IMHO.  She is taller (5'6", if one can believe IMBD), but everything else seems spot on.

I know that I am pretty late to this, but I have always felt Jeffrey Donovan from Burn Notice could make a good Harry. I know people would disagree, but I feel he has that good voice over thing going for him as well.

He has been suggested as Harry a couple of times, but we have at least a very vocal defender of Donovan as Nicodemus  :). I like him as Nic myself.
