*glad everyone forgot it was he who mentioned TC agian*

 yes well how about *sad* heath Ledger for Madrigal Wraith in "Perfect" Casting

I'd certainly approve of that - although I'd actually rather seem him as Thomas in this "Perfect Casting" scenario. He's one of the few who could actually pull of the long, curly hair and make it look natural and sexy. I know he was a blond but just darken it a little and I could forgive that. *sigh* He was a great actor.

I'm really thinking of Craig Bierko. The dude's a great actor (obviously has a sense of humor), has the look of Harry already and is 6' 5''

And JUST found an inteview he did for scary movie 4, he even (to me) SOUNDS like Harry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il52a40YToY

Do I HAVE to play the Hannibal Lechter card again?  Anthony Hopkins gets my Nicodemus Vote.

Would have said Sam 'The Omen/Event Horizon' Neill myself, but I think he's gotten a little too old too, sadly.

He seems kind of young but I think he'd do a great job. He's so versitile (for proof, just look at his roles in LOTR and Van Helsing) and personally, I'd really love to seem him do such a scary role. Good pick!  :)

Damn I love me some David Wenham. Not sure why I didn't think of him earlier. A little young for Nic (I always imagined Colm Feore as Nic), but should definitely be somewhere. Lemme think on this.

There are two roles I could see Tom Cruise doing; either Larry Fowler or Madrigal Raith. The man can actually act, as evidenced by his role in Tropic Thunder. Nothing else though.

While I still stand by my earlier suggestion of Timothy Dalton as Nicodemus, Alan Rickman would also do a damn good job.

As for other characters...
-Terrence Stamp for The Merlin.
-Adrien Brody for Kincaid (I'm basing this on his performance in Predators, which proves that not only can he play a badass convincingly, he can do the gravely, Clint Eastwood-esque voice that Christian Bale fails at as Batman.)
-Eddie Izzard as the voice of Bob. I think he'd be a pretty good fit for Butters, but I'm not sure how well he can sound american, since he sounds extremely British.
-Julian Richings fo Grevane. Grevane's described as pretty gaunt and corpselike already, and he definitely fits the bill. (He's Death on Supernatural, if that helps.) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0724995/
-Danny Trejo for The Red King. Yeah, I know that the RK is supposed to be kinda short, but whatever. We need someone who can be intimidating as the RK, and he qualifies.

Tom Cruise, to the best of my knowledge, was NOT in Tropic Thunder.
And NO Tom Cruise in a DF movie anywhere.  Not now - not never.

Possible suggestion for Harry - Chris Pine - I know his eyes are blue but you could cover that with contacts.
He's tall and hawk featured and he can act.

yes he was, he was the fat executive movie guy, planning on getting the insurance money on the actors deaths or something. that's probably why you don't remember him, he was bald and wearing glasses and a fat suit.

Honestly, if he was just in a bit part, I would be ok with it. He's not a bad actor, he's just a bit crazy.

-Lara Raith=Stana Katic (No, this idea is in no influenced by the fact that she would have to be almost nude for the role at some point, not at all.)
-Another idea for Bob's voice: Quentin Tarantino.

And I hadn't thought of Chris Pine before, since he seems a bit young, but he might work as Harry.

I'm a big fan of Chris Pine, myself, so you won't here any complaints from me, either.  ;D

I like the Danny Trejo idea.  And the Stana Katic idea.

Agreed.  No Tom Cruise in a DF movie. Ever.

I think Eddie Izard would be great as Bob's voice.
