A young John leguizamo would have been perfect.

John leguizamo paired with the Ramirez cockiness would just come off as skeevy.  You need someone with more charm and at least able to pull off innocence.   Or maybe I just think Molly can do better than John leguizamo

Edit: i think I picture more of a Adrian Grenier

I still say Mario Lopez or Joseph Gordon Levitt for Ramirez.

And Chritopher Lee for Merlin.  He does snobby, condescending, can't tell if he's good or evil, but betting on evil, Brit better.

What about Tommy Lee Jones for Marcone?

While Christopher Lee would make an excellent Merlin, I feel like it would just be typecasting. And he seems far too sinister. The Merlin isn't evil (as far as we know), he's just an ass.

And Tommy Lee Jones is too old and weathered-looking. Mark Harmon is my choice. Watch an episode or two of NCIS and you'll see why.

Don't forget Marcone needs to seem formidably athletic.  You need to believe he can perform precision knife throwing while hanging from one leg over a pit, or strap on his tactical gear and go running atop a train after angelic nightmares.  Soul of a tiger and all that.  If Jason Statham only had hair...

Now that I think about it, John Hurt might make a good Merlin.

It didn't consciously happen but in my head whenever i read a line spoken by Marcone i hear don Fat Tony from the simpsons. I can't help it, it just happens and adds so much to marcone.

Joe Mantegna does his voice and i think would actually be pretty good for marcone anyway.

My wife loves this guy. Though, he is too good for such a minor role.

Again, people, Mark Harmon is Marcone. For me, anyway.

It's just that when Jim describes Langtry, I picture Saruman.

You could give statham hair, but you can't lower his voice.  His voice is just too high pitched for Marcone.  Marcone needs a deeper, more imposing voice.  Threatening without sounding angry.  I could buy Statham for Kincaid.

Comedian Alonzo Bodin for Gatekeeper?  Very tall, deep voice, can do serious.

I agree with Isaiah Mustafa for Sanya.

At the moment he's minor, I have my suspicions over that guy.
