And  I present you with ... Andi.



Who is this?  She looks familiar, but I can't quite seem to put a name to her...

I have a new (I think...to me at least) submission for Harry Dresden.  Comedian Chris D'Elia.  He's got the personality/sarcasm/wit.  He's 6'3" (I know Harry is taller, but how many 6'6"-6'8" actors are there?) and seems to have the right build.

Not familiar with the guy himself.  From you rpost Id say 6'3" is close enough so long as they highlight his beanpoll status a bit and/or make sure to cast a short murphy.  But the face to too rounded for the sharp, angular features I imagine on Harry.

He could lose a few pounds for the role :-)  This is some of his standup (WARNING: May be somewhat offensive to some...there are swear words): http://youtu.be/7d-TkmL5BGs  My favorite is the part about the Germans (starts at about 1:45).  He was also on the TV show Whitney.

I saw pictures, and I would accept him based on his looks. I haven't seen him playing so no opinion about that.

Did you see him on Whitney?  I know there were issues with the show, but I thought he did a good job.  But I don't think I see him as Harry.

My stand-up comedian of choice for Harry is Jeff Dye.

Warning: RANT.
I just saw there is a "perfect casting part 3" thread. I am upset. I consider it superfluous and, frankly, quite rude to all people posting here. And given the problem with the poster who was claiming for a new thread, I see it as a hit in the face.  I would have said this in that thread, but I don't really want to participate in it, so this is the next best thing.

Yes, I did see Chris D'Elia in Whitney and I always liked him in it.

I'm somewhat familiar with Jeff Dye...I'm not sure I "see" him as Harry, though.  He seems too young and not dark enough.  But hey...to each his own.  That's the fun of fantasy casting!

On a somewhat-related topic, I recently marathon-watched Season 1 of Arrow on Netflix and amused myself by imagining what Quentin Lance would do if Blackthorne could have brought the Dresden-powers to the role.

I prefer to imagine what would happen if Lance were confronted with Harry (ie a magical and non-alcoholic version of himself) :P

I imagine the powers of a real daughter of Dresden and River Song.
