I could see that.  Though Ive never previously heard of him, so I dont know what his acting range is.


Huh, that would work. Where'd he previously appeared in? (...I should probably just google but...)

Huh. Might not be a good fit then, but... hmmm, maybe, you never know, eh?

I don't remember - has Zachary Levi ever been brought up? I mean, probably, but what did we think of him again?

Yeah, I'd never heard of him, but I saw him on a stand-up show on Comedy Central last night, and he was amusing.  And he looks like he was the model for the cover art.  Lord knows if he can act, but most people who do good stand-up can act, at least for the camera.  He's apparently 6'1", 30yo,

I'd rather cast Malkovich as one of the Big Bad's, or at least someone who scares the crap out of Harry i.e. Nicodemus, Erlking, Cowl  etc.

I've still got Katee Sackhoff as Murphy.  I could see Ali Larter as Charity though.

How about Ray Wise as ... well ... I can see him as either Marcone or Nick or Vadderung for that matter.

At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

I'm new here, but fantasy casting for the Dresden Files is how I realized I was a total fan girl so I figured this was the best place for me to start.

I've been reading through this thread for hours now, but still haven't read all of them - so forgive me if I make some repeats.

Harry - Karl Urban (although this is still up in the air) http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4042307840/nm0881631?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_sf_25
Murphy - Allison Mack (she's too tall at 5'5", but I think she is cute and she is blonde and already has the right hair cut) http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/allison-mack/images/178733/title/allison-mack-wallpaper
Bob (voice) - Jim Butcher
Susan - Cote de Pablo http://croobal.com/hot-celebs/celebpedia/cote-de-pablo-hot-pictures-information-and-bio/
Marcone - Ray Wise (although someone recently suggested Christopher Meloni and I could get on board with that)
Bianca - Daniela Ruah http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/daniela-ruah/images/10690202/title/daniela-maxim-march-2010-photo

I've read in some of the older posts that Jim Butcher has said that Alexi Denisov is the closest actor for Harry that he can think of.  I never watched Buffy, so I only know Denisov as Sandy Weathers on How I Met Your Mother and I definitely CANNOT see *that* guy playing Harry Dresden.

I hadn't thought that. I like it!

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

So, for some reason...whenever I read anything about Lasciel, my mental image is of the warlock succubus from World of Warcraft...

At the risk of sounding like a big 'ol dummy...who is Rosanna? 

Of course, I also imagine Demonreach looking like a Voidwalker from WoW.  Maybe I have a WoW problem. :-\
