Hmmm, I disagree. I'd see her more as Deirdre; she looks kind of overly lean, cruel, and dangerous.

I would agree to that.  But she's a Euorpean model, and my original idea was to have all the Fae cast with Eastern Europeans, a.k.a. old world with distinct accents.

Fair enough, but that could be a good tactic for the Denarians, too.

I really think she works quite well as a baseline for Deirdre. Anyone agree?

I could actually see that. He's kind of a tall string bean kind of guy, does humor well, does snappishness well, he's a fine actor who has shown himself capable of convincingly delivering terms that he doesn't have the first clue about in real life, and with some stubble there he actually looks the part. That is not at all a dive-for-cover sort of call, I think it's a pretty good call.

I could see it. DEFINITELY not my first choice, but I wouldn't complain long or loud if he was cast. My only concern is he doesn't look menacing at all, and whilst Harry isn't some sort of bouncer/intimidator, Parsons looks almost like a teen.

Eh, I don't really see him as Harry.  Not my cup 'o tea.

a geeky teen who doesnt exercise.  If he really committed and spent some time building some basic muscles over his skinny frame, maybe.  But ya, harry is supposed to be wiry, but still more physically formidable that sheldon.

Maybe Joe Manganiello as Micheal
not sure about Harry, his height and sense of humor will be tough

There's another site casting TDF...not sure if it's been mention on here yet, but I'm not going through all 200 plus pages to find out.. lol

http://thefaust.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/lets-castthe-dresden-files/#comment-3641


I'm one of the few that thinks Harry should be played by Blackthorne on the big screen.  I know the t.v. show is pretty much separate from the books and any film that could be made, but still, to me, Blackthorne IS Harry.    Probably because I watched the tv series before reading any of the books, but that's who I imagine while reading, so anyone else would be a huge let down for me....
