I can't see him as Harry.  I can see Matthew Fox as Harry though (he is supposed to be 6'2").



I just realized he is 45.  Rats.

Um... he's anything but lanky though. I don't think he can pull off the personality.

You've managed- in our three years together- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship.

In my mind, Harry is more sturdy/muscular than Tennant appears to be.
He isn't described as particularly muscular. If I recall, he's often described as not having a lot of mass or being "sturdy," but being tall enough that he can still have a fighting chance against more muscular opponents. This always led me to believe he was a wiry string bean type.

Besides Tennant is british. I would rather not have a British person playing a hardcore American Hero.

Don't let him hear you say that. Most Scotsmen hate being called British.

Do I have to explain that some skinny kid can't possibly pull of Batman. He doesn't seem all that intelligent either. The villains carry both movies.

I just hate Bale as Batman (I dislike the Nolan's Batman movies in general, but Bale is one of the worse things about them)

0.o I adore Nolan's Batman movies, and I think Bale did very well with the dual nature of the character.

Not if you ask a Scotsman, I'm telling you. Call a short-tempered Scottish person British, and the best case scenario is you get punched in the neck.
Casting shouldn't be restricted by nationality, anyway. I can name plenty of fine actors we would probably all miss if such a thing became standard practice. (Just as an example, even though I don't really like him for Harry per se, Hugh Jackman is Australian.)

I have no problem with an Australian or a Canadian actor doing it. Just not a British one.

That is totally stupid. I could see if they called a Scotsman an Englishman. But Britain is a term which  encompasses all of the British Isles. Anyone Scotsman who says he isn't British is a total idiot.
