Obviously David Caruso= Harry.



*Start of Fool Moon*

Murphy: The vic was partially eaten, and there's a large canine footprint near the window.

Harry: Looks like this killer was hungry *puts on shades* like the wolf.

*White Night*

Thomas: Harry! Run! There's a giant purple flying chimp behind you!

Harry: Start the car. We don't have time to *puts on shades* monkey around.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-UDWPXrW5c




*Small Favor*

Molly: Those goat-things were scary!

Harry: Personally, I found them to be a little *puts on shades* gruff.

Ok I've been lurking for awhile and finally decided to join and put my 2 cents in. The fact that I've picked such a contraversial subject to get my feet wet means I'm either crazy,stupid or both, but here goes:

Harry:Timothy Olyphant
Murphy:Elizabeth Rohm
Thomas:Alex O'Loughlin
Susan:Shannyn Sossamon
Luccio/Ana:Claudia Christenson/Mila Kunis
Morgan:Kevin Mckidd
Ivy:Ellie Fanning
Kincaid: Ray Stevenson
Mab:Julie Benz
Lea:Nicole Kidman
Maeve:Amanda Sayfreid
Lara:Rhona Mitra
Lilly:Yavonne Strohavinski
Fix:Nick Stahl
Molly:teenager-Dakota Fanning,young adult-Elisha Cuthbert
Micheal:Kyle Chandler
Charity:Elizabeth Mitchell
Rawlins:Ernie Hudson
Butters:Ian gomez
Sheila/Lash:Amanda Peet/Tricia Helfer
Eb McCoy:Sam Elliot
The Merlin:Donald Sutherland
Bianca:Stana Katic
Marcone:Viggo Mortensen
Gard:Stephanie March
Margaret Lafey:Carla Gugino

I realize that Liam Neeson didn't make it on my list, while he was on everyone else's, because after reading "Changes" I can only see him in one role. He'd look really cool with an eyepatch. :) And that's my dream cast for the Dresdenverse(goes and puts on his Nomex undies for the inevetable flames coming his way)
I fought on the losing side, still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Edward Norton for Tilly.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

"What do you mean, Lawful Silly isn't a valid alignment?"

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

I watched the TV show first so I can not do this, as all I can see are the TV actors.

When I think of Mab, she sounds like Shara Worden. Here's a sound clip from YouTube.

The song is "The Queen's Rebuke/The Crossing" by the Decemberists. Shara sings the part of an evil faerie queen. :)

Martha Liberty - Whoopie FTW!
Merlin - Ian Mckellen, or Christopher Lee
Peabody - Brad Dourif, He played Grima Wormtouge in Two Towers
Gate Keeper - Keith David, he does the voice acting for The Arbiter in Halo 2 and 3, and Captain Anderson in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, General Kimsy in Armegeddon, among other things. A little short at 6'2, dark skinned, deep voice little over 50

I have been reading this and figured I would toss my 2cents too.  A lot of people have some great choices!  Here are some of mine.

Harry Dresden - No idea. 
The character in my head will always be the best.  I was good with the casting of Paul Blackthorne though.  He really did act like Harry.

Karrin Murphy – Katee Sackoff
http://www.universal-playback.com/assets/images/0000/6086/katee-sackhoff-as-starbuck-in-battlestar-gallactica.jpg
Of course, I think she is too tall for Murphy, but she’s the right age.

Thomas Raith – Jamie Bamber
http://www.zap2it.com/media/photo/2008-03/37337290.jpg
I have always imagined him in my head for Thomas -- it's a BSG thing (*blush*).  But Matthew Bomer is a great cast idea too!  I can see that also.

Lara Raith -Famke Janssen
http://www.zimbio.com/Famke+Janssen/articles/6E3bET1wMaL/Famke+Janssen
She has the height, looks, age, and range to play Lara Raith.  Granted she could be Queen Mab too.

Will/Billy - Charlie Hunnam
http://tengossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/sons-of-anarchy-jacks.jpg
I think he has the right build, although he may be too tall (over 6 feet). 
(Even though I secretly would want Jason Momoa, just so I can see him strip down to become a werewolf, even though he's totally wrong for the part -- hey a girl can dream right? :)  http://www.gateworld.net/news/graphics/atl_s4cast04.jpg )

Michael Carpenter – Nathan Fillion
http://images.glam.com/glampress/entertainment/03_16_09/nathan_fillion.jpg
I’ve always pictured him in my head when I read the books.

Charity Carpenter - Amanda Tappings
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Tapping
I don’t know why but she has always been Charity to me.  Amanda is super tall (5’9-10).  Right age and can you see her storming Arctis Tor in chain mail!

Molly Carpenter – Jessica Brooks
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1140434/
Molly in my head looks alot like this girl. Although she may be too old now (age 29), although she would work as Lucio in the new body.

Susan Rodriguez - Erica Cerra
http://www.topnews.in/files/images/Erica-Cerra1.jpg
Even Jim Butcher has said this is Susan to him.  I have to agree!

Sanya - Chiwetel Ejiofor
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0252230/
Hands down! He has always been who I thought of for Sanya.

Lash/Lasiel – Anna Torv
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YPCf8JFgUdI/SWextxoDfzI/AAAAAAAAKQE/26so50gvXb8/s576/Fringe_Anna_Torv1t.jp
Or she could be Murphy too, again…maybe too tall, but the age is right

Donald Morgan -Rade Serbedzija
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0784884/
It's almost uncanning how he looks like the description.

You know, Honestly for Hendricks, you could just say <Insert generic white wrestling star here>

And for Bob's voice, Jack Nicholson, Robin Williams, Will Smith would probably be able to do it really well too...

Those commercials are some of my favorites of the last several months.

Five minutes later, I haven't stopped laughing.  I love those ads, and this ads yet another dimension of hilarity!
