Just my opinion, but you clearly haven't seen Fillion in anything. Special brand of snark? I can't think of anyone who does it better. And he can be deadly serious and scary when it's called for. Fillion has twice the acting range of Ryan Reynolds.
Tennant is 6'1" and a string bean. He could totally do it.

I agree that fillion is good but you obviously haven't seen Reynolds in enough stuff

Here is a show that had them both

Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

Ryan Renalds is WAY to Frat boy-ish and he can't help but let that seep into every single character he plays. Dresden is not Frat boy. He likes Star Wars...and LotR. Frat Boys do not like Sci Fi/Fantasy. Reynolds is too....pretty.  :o Just my opinion though  :P Who knows he might be able to pull it off but I've only ever seen him act like an annoying frat boy in everything he's done. Even in Green Lantern...don't get me started on that one, lol!
MF you  should stop shoving things in peoples mouths. I'm feeling left out. :(
Oh really? Huh. Well this is awkward.

In what is sure to devastate women across the globe as much as it has devastated my wife, Matt Bomer (Chuck, White Collar, fan favorite for casting Thomas Raith) has come out.  Good news all around, as thats one more off my wife's 'exception' list.  Now I just need to keep her away from Brad Pitt and a couple others, and we're good to go.

Regardless, anyone who's watched Chuck or White Collar knows that the guy can act, and I still think he's the best choice for Thomas.

Bomer's closet door was pretty soundly ajar before this, but I'm delighted he's now comfortable enough to share this aspect of his private life with the public.  That takes serious courage, especially considering his sex symbol status.  Congrats on both the award and your Decloseting Day, Matt!

I agree wuth Pris! Also, he is gorgeous, I don't care if he is gay. He is a perfect Thomas.
Missing you, Md

No, Thomas isn't gay - he prefers women but when the Hunger is on him - he'll use a guy.
The WC are somewhat bisexual.  Some will use anything that moves that's human, others like Thomas, have a preference one way or the other.  But their Hunger trumps whatever their preference might be.

Ah.

Mac is like Michael - one of those characters that are hard to describe but you'll know him when
you see him.
