Before Dark Night, I would have said the same about Heath Ledger.  Now it would be interesting.  Kinda makes me Im curious if mcconaughey could do Dark.  He's done serious pretty well before (big fan of A Time to Kill, for example)  but the monster within might be a bit of a stretch for him.

Have you seen "Frailty"?

Nathan Fillion is my preferred Harry, but I wonder if he might be a little TOO snarky for it.
James Marsters is my second choice. Having heard him in the audio books, I can't help but associate him with Harry.

Murphy: Katee Sackhoff. No contest. Tough as nails, with flashes of endearing vulnerability.

Too snarky? This is Harry we're talking about! The king of snark. :D

Isn't Nathan Fillion kind of...old to play Harry? Harry was 24 or 25 with the series began.

He's not too old for the middle of the series. He isn't thin enough, though....

And I keep seeing Michael C Hall (Dexter) as Kincaid. He's got that strange cool detachment going... but I don't think he's quite bulky enough.

Older Archive OR Young Molly: Chloe Moretz (Let Me In, Kick Ass)

She's 13 or 14 now, so she couldn't very well play the Ivy we meet in Death Masks, who was 7 or so.

Kincaid: Adam Baldwin. I retract my earlier "Dexter."  Adam Baldwin does badass best.

Yeah, on second thought, I'm going with baldwin. Christian Kane would be good, but Adam Baldwin wins out.
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

I can definitely vote for Baldwin. He's a great badass. :)
