There is something fundamentally flawed about this statement.

Whaaaa??? How have you not seen this? It is absolutely made of awesome.

Patrick Warburton was the Tick and it was terrifying and hillarious at the same time.  (Though my fav character is American Maid)
Inspiration can be found in an accident of fate or fate by accident, what you do with it is up to you.

I loved the cartoon but somehow managed to remain ignorant of the existence of live version. Even better news is that Putty plays the Tick.

Hi Y'all- new here, big Dresden Files fan.  Just finished reading the series for the second time.

Has anyone suggested Mary McCormack as Charity Carpenter?  Looks great as a blond, but old enough to have teenage kids, broad shoulders, strong look, plays a great aggressive female (In Plain Sight).  Her film career has been slow enough that you could actually afford her.

The one good casting decision from the TV show was Valerie Cruz as Murphy.  I would have never seen it, given her not looking a ton like the physical description, but I thought she was the only one who played the character well.

Had a thought last night.  Liam Neeson for Langtry and Jeremy Irons for Nicodemus.

Oh Jeremy Irons would be great for Nic.
He can literally seem to drip menace.

Had a thought - the guy on white collar - sorry don't know the name - to play Thomas.

I agreed on Bomer's face, but it wasn't until I saw a pic of him with his shirt off.  He's in good enough shape to play Thomas.

I know she's a little to tall at 5'-4" but my favoite actress for Murphy is Sarah Carter.

Just watched DOA (Dead or Alive) again and the scene where she fights 20 people on the stairs just screams the fight at CI.

The scene I'm talking about starts at 2:15 in the above clip.

*Fixed the second link.

I've heard the promises I've seen the mistakes I've had my fair share of tough breaks.
I need a new voice, a new law, a new way.
Take the time, reevaluate it's time to pick up the pieces, go back to square one.
I think it's time for a change.

And a thought just hit Mark Strong (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0835016/) for Gentleman Johnny M.
