I cracked up at the slow-motion walk. His haircut that day probably had something to do with it, as it was stuck straight up off the front of his face.

Actually he has the lopsided facial features Id think would go great for the Erlking!  Not to mention a certain air of menace...

PS I know its probably just one of those standard photo backdrops, but it really looks like his head is smoking...

No, no. Tom Waits is the Erlking. Because, well, he's TOM WAITS.

Also, what about Bruce Campbell for Carmichael?
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Out of all the people listed above, Zachary Quinto would easily be my first choice.

Ooh, ooh!

I know who would make a great Murphy!  She's got the "Tiny, but fierce!" thing down pat, although she might be a *bit* young for the role.  Bah, the makeup folks can do wonders... ;D



EDIT: That is Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in HBO's Game of Thrones

Uhh, yeah, the name might come in handy...

Edited my post to include it.

She might fit in a few years. (lets say 5) assuming she doesn't get much taller, or turn into a bombshell or something. However, as long as we're tapping the GoT well I would say Rory McCann (Sandor Clegane (The Hound)) as Lloyd slate. Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) as Lily. Emelia Clarke (Danerys Targaryen) as Justine. And Esme Bianco (Ros) as Maeve. Also Jim should write a dwarf into the series so that the peerless Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) can be in there somewhere (or he could be the voice of bob.) Overall the Game of Thrones adaptation has been a triumph, perfectly cast and matching the tone of the novel well. Best TV show of the year by miles.
