Perfect Casting, part 2

[tiny[but]fierce]

LOL did you ever see the old (when Cartoon Network was still new) short "Wonder Woman's lasso of justice" skits?
They had one with Muttley laughing but he gets caught in the lasso and starts bawling. LOL

Sorry just made me think of it cause I don't see many references to Muttley.

\O/ w00t! Score one for me!! Hah

I am so glad more people are for Bomer. I think he can pull off the darkness of Thomas and especially the whole suave confidence. He's perfect! <3
*swoons and gets the vapors*

I follow the Twitter feed started by Priscellie and the others (as the Dresden cast), and I had no idea who the man was that they used for the profile pic for Thomas. And then I saw him on TV, and a lightbulb clicked on. So really, I owe my devotion to Bomer and his future casting as Thomas to the mods and everyone on the Dresden Twitter feeds

Other choices for Eb. Rip Torn and Tommy Lee Jones. Didn't like the idea of Jones at first but then I thought about it and it would work.

You all are starting to win me over with the Matt Bomer thing, but it's actually not that I like Bomer, but it's because all the other suggestions for Thomas are soo bad (Orlando Bloom *sheesh*) that Bomer is starting to look better and better as Thomas.

No one commented on my suggestion the other day of Chris Pine as Thomas.

I am not sure about this choice though, I think he is a pretty good actor judging by Star Trek, I don't know if he really fits the bill, but he seems to be more like the other choices up here.

Pine isn't bad... but Bomer is better, for the role of Thomas at least. He's been on a few of the TV shows that I watch and I'd say he definitely has the range/looks to pull off everybody's favorite incubus.

Chris Pine can act well enough, but he is kinda lacking that Raith look.

I agree that Pine doesn't look Raithy enough.

Personally, when they first introduced Thomas I pictured something like this.

[MoSeS]

and I stumbled on this too.

Never thought of this, but Jackman could probably work as Thomas...

..on second thought he is too old, he is 42ish and this picture is old.

Chris Pine may not be good for Raith, but can we cast him as Warden Chandler just so we can look at him?  *cough* Oh. Yeah.  I said that aloud.

[MoSeS]

How about Evans for Thomas. He is Bowflexy too.

Still not Raithy enough? I don't really get the Predatory Angel vibe from Evans.

Chris Pine is handsome enough to pull off the Thomas role, but he's just not it for me. His eyes don't have that same 'mysteriousness' to them that Bomer's do.

Don't knock on people being too old for certain roles. There's a reason that most casting these days has people that are actually ten years older playing roles that are ten years younger. Every once in a while, though, you have the cases like Supernatural, where the actors are the same age as their characters, lol.

Anyway, I've been reading this Supernatural/Dresden Files crossover fic that a friend turned me on to, and she's made an icon specifically for the fic (it's on LJ); The fic is called Lost Sons, and the actor she sees as Harry is actually Hugh Jackman. The picture that she specifically used fits really well, actually.

Yes you did, and yes we can. Besides, I know damn sure he can effect a British accent -- he had one when he played Nicholas in The Princess Diaries 2. (consequently, he sounds just as snooty as Chandler might in the clip that I saw of himself and Anne Hathaway taking a fall into the fountain behind them).

Moore's a great actress, full stop. She could do whatever the part requires, I have no doubt.

I also agree that Matt Bomer could do Thomas justice - not only the confidence and charm, but Thomas's conflicted nature, his self-distrust, anger and shame, as well as love for Justine. (I don't think Chris Evans is as strong an actor as Bomer, really. Nothing against the guy, but he's limited to a certain type - at least in the roles I've seen.) If it were up to me (and clearly it's not) I'd just as soon stay away from any wrestlers or swimsuit models altogether.

Pine is okay, I guess; I'm sure there are actual Brits who could play "Steed" Chandler perfectly well.

Except for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played a character exactly ten years older than his real age. (Yes, I watched the first few seasons of the show that carefully.)

How about Ian Somerhalder for Thomas?

Yeah, you are right... I have a not-so-secret crush on James McAvoy.  Can he play Warden Chandler?


Okay, he's Scottish (31, 5'7).  Okay, maybe a little short, but he's a HUGE sci-fi/fantasy fan!

[Atanvarno]

Also, McAvoy can act like nobody's business! He's a Scot, but has played a few Englishmen (and a couple of Irishmen, too, I think.)

Somerhalder has some experience with playing a vampire; I see him more as Madrigal than Thomas, I guess.
