If we are talking production, and another TV series, I would steal some of the people who put together THE WALKING DEAD I think most fans would agree, that show holds the most true to a crossover from book/comic to tv than anything on else on tv. Also, the creater of the book has creative control, and if there are changes made... he is directly involved.

Ok, going back through Death Masks and I saw a description of Marcone that I had forgotten... With it I got an Image of him in my mind, that is not my current favorite.... Richard Burgi... I saw Bruce Greenwood... For those of you who do not know who he is, Captian Christopher Pike... 2009 Star Trek.

This guy is almost certainly not an actor, but he has Eb's expression during the 'Suuuper Genius' scene down pat.

Not NEARLY pretty enough - he's still a Sidhe. Also, the image appears to be broken - I had to copy-paste to the address bar (could just be Chrome).

Not just chrome.  Firefox too.  I didn't even look at the source for an image.

I know why it didn't work. You have to get the image all the way by itself.

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.

not that bad in RL... there's a picture of him wearing blue-tinted glasses over light blue eyes.  Makes him look kinda creepy.

I think Stanley Tucci could do a credible job...

Not sure if anyone has suggested this (I am not reading through the entire thread) but give Nathan Fillion a beard and I think he'd be a perfect Michael. Just throwing it out there.

Also Anne Hathaway as Lara and Bob Hoskins as Eb.

"What's the working theory?

"A gorilla did it."

The sheer idiocy of a statement like that is enough to rupture a blood vessel in a reasonable person's brain.

I hadn't considered him as Michael - he might be able to do it, and it would be interesting see him play straight-man for once.

I like Nathan Fillion but I don't think he's big enough for Michael.
Except that he's too young - Chris Hemsworth would be great for Michael.
Shecky's suggestion was the guy who played the Mountie on Due South. Can't think of his name.

I don't see Anne Hathaway for Lara.  Lara makes men want to spontaneously combust
just by standing there and I'm afraid that Hathaway doesn't do that.

Eva Green for Lara?



Also, Rachel Mcadams could be the Faerie ladies:

Better but I see Lara as somewhat older.
Green might make a good Inari.

I can't believe how many votes Nathan Fillion got to be Harry! :o  Nathan is waaay too old and portly.  Back in his Firefly (TV) days maaaybe, but NOT NOW.  He'd have to lose at least 50 pounds and then be stretched on a rack.
