Perfect Casting, part 2

[Murphy's Stunt Double]

I'm wondering (although she's 5'6") if this girl could pull of Murphy
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm399217152/nm0695560

Her name is Victoria Pratt.

I'll see your two cents and raise you a dollar. Definitely VERY Murphy!

My vote for Thomas is THIS guy...

I think he's got the right mix of angst/intensity.  He does look like a cuter version of how I imagine Harry,
and this video just SCREAMS Thomas and Justine.

I agree with the Murphy nomination - rereading the series now, and casting as I go she fits perfectly.

[MoSeS]

Who should play Murphy?

Kirsten Dunst - No, too young, I like her alright, but not as Murphy

Kristen Bell - No, too young and maybe not built enough, but close to how I picture Murphy

Hayden Panettiere - too young, but has the right attitude and build IMO

Michelle Pfieffer - too old now

Nicole Kidman - also too old now

Naomi Watts - I put her on my fake cast, but just as a place holder til i thought of a better Murphy.

Victoria Pratt - she has the build, I am not familiar with her acting though. So maybe.

Reese Witherspoon - I can't see her as Murphy.

Diane Lane - probably a little too old.

Uma Thurman - she doesn't at all fit the description, but Kill Bill was awesome

Butters. The more I think about it the more I like the idea of Justin Long as Butters. Especially since Butters is suppose to be Jewish, I think Justin Long passes for Jewish much more than Simon Pegg or David Wenham.

[MoSeS]

Molly. Ok ok, I give up advocating D. Fanning as Molly.

I still think her recent roles suit her for the part and I think she is dead on for the age if the filming were to start now and since she is 16 she very well may get taller.

My second choice, which was suggested by someone else earlier on this thread, would be Deborah Ann Woll because she plays a 17 year old vampire on True Blood, and she is a "fledgling" or whatever you call a vampire in training, which kind of makes her like an apprentice.

Butters. The more I think about it the more I like the idea of Justin Long as Butters. Especially since Butters is suppose to be Jewish, I think Justin Long passes for Jewish much more than Simon Pegg or David Wenham.

He's freaking adorable.

Okay, I swing my vote for Justin Long as Butters. For now. Unless another guy who can play a crazy good Butters comes along

[MoSeS]

Not only is he adorable, but he can play goofy, geeky and qwerky, and he is 32 which is old enough to feel guilty about having a thing for Molly.

How do you insert an image?

[Coalprin]

My pick for Butters. Johnny Galecki.

My pick for Butters. Johnny Galecki.

I like that choice too.

He does "awkward" well, and could probably do cowardly, and probably geeky, but I don't know about goofy and sarcastic. Not that Butters is that goofy or sarcastic but he is a little. I am sure this actor could pull it off.

He is one of the better suggestions so far, I could see him as Butters.

I see him as runner-up to J. Long, but I am probably just saying that because I thought of J. Long first.

And I actually remember Galecki from Roseanne.

I think the difference to me is that Galecki can play serious roles, and I would never be able to see Justin Long doing anything really serious, if he did I probably wouldn't take him seriously.

Your screencap skills are superb. Seriously. One good picture takes the place of a lot of misunderstandable words.

[Atanvarno]

I haven't worked out perfect casting for all parts, but I've thought of Jordana Spiro as Murphy ever since I started reading The Dresden Files.

Similarly, I've thought for a while that Alana de la Garza would make a great Susan.


Is it a cliché to say that the descriptions of Thomas made me think of this guy?

Edited to remove the hotlinking mess I made. Thanks, MoSeS_!

Backing away from the computer now.  

[Scop]

Thanks for the help, lets see if this works.  I hope the image isn't to big.  Is there anyway to shrink the size with the image tags?  I also wouldn't want to take up too much space on this website.


My pick for Thomas.  He's 28, and he already has the grey eyes.
