Perfect Casting, part 2

[Priscellie]

sorry for the double post.


So I was reading the best quotes thread, and it struck me that Kirsten Nelson, Chief Vick in Psych, would be interesting as Murphy...



thoughts?

What, a woman who plays a blonde police department head named "Karen" who occasionally hires a smart-assed private investigator with apparent supernatural abilities and a "magic head" for a sidekick who drives around the city in a comically small blue car to consult for tougher cases?  I just don't see it.

Micheal sheen as Quintus Cassius.

...wow... xD never saw the parallels.

I'm still in shock here.  and still laughing my butt off.

I think hands down the perfect Thomas is...Matt Bomer.

been said million times. been taken to bunks, even.

I still vote Kirsten Nelson for Murph!

[Vulcanisik]

lawl David Duchovny for Dresden.

Not sure why, he just seems to capture the wit, the playfulness, and the righteous rage.

So I was watching my favorite guilty pleasure the other day "Corrina, Corrina", and I wondered, whatever happened to that adorable little girl? I haven't really seen her in anything else. So I googled, and found to my immense delight that she is still adorable, not tall and also that she has a black belt in the martial art of Tang Soo Do.
Now, I have no idea what Tang Soo Do is, but it sounds like something Murphy would do.

I dunno, I really like her for Murphy.

Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art, loosely translated as "Empty Hand Way."

[Priscellie]

I adored her on Veronica Mars, and now she's great on The Deep End.  She tends to play meeker characters, though, so I'm not sure how she'd tackle Murphy.  I'd love to see her audition, though!

I can't picture anybody but Hugh jackman doing Harry anymore.
Harry: Hugh Jackman
Murphy: Patricia Heaton (needs a hair dye, but I think she'd do well)
Bob: Kevin Kline
Thomas: Matt Bomer

She does play meeker characters on the shows.  But she's so good as an actress and you don't get a black belt in any martial arts without being able to throw down once in a while i think she could pull Murphy off. Its all about how the part is adapted and then how the director directs the actors.  And of course how skilled the actors are.  But I have faith.  She was one of my favorite characters on the deep end.  And I still say Clancy Brown as Marcone. 

[Strange]

What about Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies for Harry? He's 1.91 cm according to his IMDB page...

And I still say Clancy Brown as Marcone. 

I love Clancy Brown, but I'd cast him for Hendricks before I'd cast him for Marcone. Clancy's too big, in body and personality. I'd cast Ron Perlman before Clancy, and Ron's still way too big for the part.

Marcone's a snake, sleek, quiet, and hitting WAY above his weight class. In his own way, Marcone's every bit a "badass grandpa" as Ebenezer, and the two of them would reach an "adequate understanding of each other" upon meeting, no gunfire or soulgaze required.

Andy Garcia's way too good-looking for Marcone, but I still read him closer than Brown.

Marcone is Quiet.

What about Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies for Harry? He's 1.91 cm according to his IMDB page...

Just when I thought I was out of my bunk...they pull me back in.

I'd put John Shea (Lex Luther from Adv. of Lois & Clark) as Marcone.

Even reading the books, he always came to mind for me.
