I do imagine Bob with a British accent of some sort. Actually, John Simms would make a great Bob. Ok, so I've only seen him as The Master/Harold Saxon, but do I really need anything else?

Bruce Campbell would make a great Malcolm Dresden.  The younger (Xena era) Bruce would be the perfect Harry, specially the wise-ass part.  But he wold be great as Harry's dad.

This. This so very much. End of discussion.

Motion seconded, approved unanimously.

BUT the part would be way too small to do Bruce any justice.

But if we give him too much of a role, he'd overwhelm everything.

There was a suggestion for Bruce as Carmichael a few pages back, actually.

Yes, a good movie is the sum of it's parts.
If one performer overwhelms then the movie loses it's validity.
I want to see a Harry Dresden movie where I can lose myself in the story and
NOT be seeing anyone performer but rather the characters.

By the By, I don't think Bruce Campbell for Carmichael nor particularly for Harry.
A bit too much.

What about Walken? I think there's a law that he has to show up in everything.

You mean like Nicholson did to the Batman movie?

BTW, for those Bruce fans, USA network has made a Burn Notice prequel centered on Sam Axe.  It's called "The Fall of Sam Axe."  From the trailers they've made him look kinda young.  I don't know when it's airing, though.

I love Nathan Fillion but sorry guys he just too old to be Harry, back when he played Mel in firefly he would have been perfect!
