OK, if we are going with Matt Bomer for Thomas, the I would cast Olivia Wilde as Lara, and Summer Glau as Inari

But, they don't look that relatives to Matt.
I had a woman for Lara, but I forgot who she was. I saw her in a show, not a movie. That is the only thing I remember.

Now, I'm not saying they are twins, but considering the fact that Thomas and Lara would have a different mother, they wouldn't look exactly alike.

But Papa Raith is described in WN like this:
Quote
Thomas favored his father heavily, and at first glance, Lord Raith could have been Thomas. He had the same strong, appealing features, the same glossy dark hair, the same lean build. He looked little older than Thomas, but his face was very different. It was the eyes, I think. They were… stained, somehow, with contempt and calculation and a serpentine dispassion.
Which makes me think we'd need somebody younger.  I could see Matthew Mcconaughey for it, though I cannot recall him ever playing a villain.

As a side note, Jim said in an interview (when talking about work on the Comic) that he pictured Harry as a mix between Fox Mulder and Vincent Ventresca.  So what would you guys say to him as harry?  (try to ignore the poofy hair):

I like Richard Burgi for Marcone.  I'd thought of him for Harry at first, but the more I think about it, this guy has more bulk to him than what I envision for Harry and he plays mean pretty well too, while still maintaining a classy, polished exterior.  So, I'm definitely pitching him for Marcone.

I'm sorry, I don't know how to imbed the picture into post.  But here's a link to him: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0121404/#Actor

Thank you dea, As far as my man vince, I am actually a fan of his... He was on a short lived, but excellent show on Sci-Fi called " The Invisible Man" He was a very good mix of good, evil, and smart @$$. I Have thought of him as Harry... I keep trying to come up for reasons to say no... but I Keep coming back to him... I have looked at the others who people have suggested and I, putting them under scroutany find that Most of them are too young, or either The right level of smart @$$. I vote Yes on Vince

I very much agree with Matt Bomer for Thomas. I think he could pull off that role to perfection. On my current reading of the books, getting ready for Cold Days, I've substituted his image in my mind for Thomas, and it works very well. Or maybe that means I'm going crazy. Oh well.

She could do it, But I have her pegged as Young Luccio.  She has all the acting range you'd need, and the requisite dimples.

And Looking at them, Bomer and vince could pass for brothers, though vince is older, we can blame the age appearance on succunus genes

Bradly Cooper?  No!   Sorry, in my head he's still the cuddly one from Alias.  Casting him as Thomas messes with my head. He comes across as vulnerable and sincere.  The actor has to be able to pull off the cold ruthlessness  AND that fake French accent. 

I chose Elisha for Lara because this actress does the sex-in-heels thing with no trouble.  Plus, she's got a kind of chemistry with Matt (she's guested on White Collar a few times).  They could pull off the layered undercurrents between the characters without much dialogue having to be spelled out.
