Rhys-Davies did short in LotR, and he was one of the biggest guys on the set.

And I've already pretty much settled on my ideal for Thomas, thanks to the folks here -- Matt Bomer.

Thomas:
I like Bomer, though he strikes me more as cute than supernatural vampire with god-like looks. I haven't seen him act, so I don't know about voice and attitude. (I really should watch White Collar I've hear a lot of good things about it.) But if Bomer has a billion dollar smile I'd be sold. Thomas's smile is the most important thing in my mind.


As other options I offer Jared Leto. He's pretty and has great eyes. I think he's got more of the supernatural vampire look, but seems to lack the flamboyant charm. Also he's a little girly.


Thirdly has anyone suggested Ben Barns? He played Dorian Grey and did a good job with the haunting/supernatural beauty. His eyes are the wrong color, but I bet he could ware contacts and he has a nice smile. Smile is key to Thomas in my mind.

Bah.  Everyone knows Tom Cruise is perfect for the role.

Well, Bomer seems to be having the Thomas effect on some people anyway.

Speaking of supernaturally good looks, I think the Sam Witwer -- who plays Aidan on the American version of Being Human -- is incredibly good looking. But I don't think he'd be right for Thomas.

I like Christian Kane for Kincade. He needs to be about a foot taller, but other than that he seems perfect to me.

Here are some of my possible suggestions:

Harry - Niall Matter (Zane from Eureka)
Molly - Jena Malone (Sucker Punch)
Butters - either A.J. Buckley (CSI NY) or Neil Grayston (Fargo from Eureka)
Thomas - I like Matt Bomer too.
Nicodemus - Christophe Waltz or Matt Frewer
Marcone - Adrian Pasdar
Bob - either voiced by Hugh Laurie or Malcolm McDowell
Morgan - Scott Glenn
Michael - Karl Urban
Sanya - Djimon Hounsou
Shiro - (Kim Chan if he was still alive)
Kincaid - Christian Kane
Ivy - I was thinking Abigail Breslin but she may be to old

Murphy seems to be the tough cast for me.

TIM CURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for Nathan Fillion, he's only 40 this year -- so definitely in the range of at least the later books so far. I think he could do well in the part, but his face really isn't hard enough IMHO. I really still want a youngish Viggo Mortensen.

I love Nathan so I could tolerate him in the movie.  But here's a question:  If you could only make one of the books into a movie, which one and why?

Off the top of my head I'd say Grave Peril -- because it's the first one I really fell in love with, because a lot of it would be very cinematic, and because it's still closer to the roots of Harry-wizard-noir-detective. I reserve the right to change my mind. :)

I've always Marcone to look like George Clooney, only with green eyes. I think the hair, age and attitude/voice is perfect. Plus I think a top of the A list actor should do Marcone. It's a difcult role, super bada$$ and yet super subtel. He needs alot of presence and I think Cloony would pull it off really well.

I can see Clooney saying "He broke the rules.  No children."  In a voice that would send chills down your spine.  I second him for Marcone.
