I'd see him more as Duke Ortega myself.

Would love to see GRAVE PERIL as a motion picture. It would be an excellent way to introduce the 'Files' to a wider audience because of all the opportunities for special effects and CGI. The characters would then of course, hook them for life. I was thinking that if this idea were to be given enough feedback and publicity, Mr. Butcher would get that check cashed for college credit. It could be another 'Serenity' style brought forth by the fans support. And on that note, I loved Paul Blackthorn, and would love seeing him reprise the character, but... if Nathan Fillion had some free time, and would consider the part....  It would give the fans an opportunity for a more accurate representation of Harry as I believe he already has most of the character traits practiced. I'm not complaining about Mr. Blackthorn, just the liberties that hollywood took with 'Harry'. ie. hockey stick, blue beetle, etc.
And if you happen to see this Mr. Butcher,
I'm not a big fantasy fan, but your work, with it's attention to the details, has made me a follower of your camp, rabidly awaiting each new release. Write faster, damn it! No. Wait. Can't short change the quality. [low growl]

Time to add a new name. I love so many of the actors listed, but someone got me onto Whhite Collar and I think Matt Bomer would be the perfect option. In the role he's too suave, but now I've watched enough episodes to see real potential for this great young actor. He's 'clean' enough, he's clever enough, he's vulnerable enough. I I really think he's THE actor. On the practical side, he might be cheap enough also! If things go fast, that is...

Using those adjectives is risky, but underneath the role is the actor that I think is dead on. He projects no sarcasm like Paul Blackthorn did, which bothered me. Snark is not sarcasm. Plus, if things go the long haul, (the really long haul) I think he has the talent to grow with the part into the knowledgable 'hardness' that I think is inevitable for the character Harry, whille still being angst without over doing it.

I thought Matt Boomer had been put forth for Thomas?

Many of us agree with what Snow stated. Bomer = Thomas. For me, he is too pretty to be Harry.

Yeah. Bomer as Thomas is one of the few things that almost everyone in this thread can agree on.

And does anyone have any ideas for Uriel? Not Jake!Uriel, but the younger form who appears in Changes. I think that Arthur Darvill (Rory Pond/Williams on Doctor Who) could work, because he looks young but is still capable of being really damn serious when he needs to. ("Would you like me to repeat the question?"=most badass thing ever. Harry needs to step his game up to top that.)

...Must resist urge to cast as many actors from Doctor Who as possible. No matter how awesome Alex Kingston and Matt Smith are.

Jake/Uriel is obviously Morgan Freeman.

It's hard not to cast Misha Collins as young Uriel.  But he doesn't fit the description.

Based solely on looks, I'd say Joseph Morgan.

Hmm, he could work. I could swear I've seen him in something before, but there's nothing on his IMDB page that I've seen.

Ha, ditto, actually. I happened across him in some image search, and the description of Uriel as having cheekbones that could slice bread kind of popped into my head. He's from England, though, and we all know that everything sounds better in an English accent. (or maybe that's just me.)


I know we don't actually see them, but I may have settled on my Cowl and Kumori...

...mostly I think they have the voices for it.

That totally made me think of Henry Cele.
