So after thinking I have come up with the perfect cast.

Harry - Will Smith
Thomas - Tyrese Gibson
Morgan - Taye Diggs
Kincaid - Wesley Snipes
Michael - Forest Whitaker
Marcone - Denzel Washington
Ebenezar - Morgan Freeman
Nicodemus - Samuel L Jackson
Carlos - Don Cheadle
The Merlin - Danny Glover
Rashid - Laurence Fishburne
Injun Joe - Carl Weathers
Waldo Butters - Chris Rock
Don Ortega - Jamie Foxx
Hendricks - Michael Clarke Duncan
Sanya - Topher Grace

Susan - Sanaa Lathan
Murphy - Halle Berry
Lea - Tyra Banks
Mab - Angela Bassett
Charity - Vivica Fox
Luccio - Gabrielle Union
Lara - Zoe Saldana
Molly - Alicia Keys

Don't be racist, it's the perfect cast!!!

For Carlos Ramirez, I was thinking Jay Hernandez. I remember him from "Crazy/Beautiful" and when I started reading the books his look popped in my head.  He is also Mexician-American and 5'8.  Although, he's 31 - so he may be already too old since he should be around 25.  Although, there are plenty of good looking Latin actors.

Jay Hernandez. Has the look I imagined too.

But my choice was Freddy Rodriguez because he was bad a$$ in Planet Terror.

don't worry, it's just a blonde moment.  It will pass.

Quite a feat for me, considering I'm not even blonde, lol.

[Warden John Marcone]

Chris Rock for BUTTERS, Mo?

[Atanvarno]

Well, no wonder wizardkind thinks the White Court sucks, then.  

Still laughing at the idea of Topher ("I'M tiny, but fierce") Grace as Sanyashka...

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.

I actually used this thread to make the Dresden dream cast for Lost Sons. Hugh Jackman didn't have an contenders for Harry's place. But finding a picture of him was a pain in the neck. I also have many other characters casted and with pictures, I just haven't posted their images.

And thanks for reading my story!

Oh, back to Sanya.  I can't believe I totally forgot about my man Christopher Judge.  Okay, he may be too old for the part now, but he is a beast 6'3.  I think my waist is as big as his arms!  




I love Jason Momoa too. (He has been recently cast as Conan!) He is the right age (30, 6'4!!!) but sadly he is Hawaiian not African-American.  But I'm going to post his picture for the my ladies here... just 'cause...


....ahhhh, wait, what was I doing?

Oh right,... also, I have to say... Sanaa Lathan for Lucio 2.0 in her new body.  Who says she has to be a white girl?  (38, 5'7)  Okay, Lucio is suppose to look around 27ish being a grad student in all, but Sanaa's look is pretty adorablel!

LOL, hah! That's nifty! And I love your story, it stays really true to both fandoms! Hopefully this crazy long thread is helping you with ideas on other cast members

OK. What about Jared Leto as Thomas? Has anyone posted this before now?

She's 19th century Italian.
It's...unlikely in the extreme that her original body was African.
(Although, I grant you, still possible, even if it's likely that harry would have commented about it.)

I was thinking AFTER her body was taken by the Corpsetaker.  Lucio's new body is supposed to be a graduate student with dark curls and dimples.  (Okay, Sanaa doesn't really have dimples.)  I was just thinking of it after MoSeS cast that maybe Luccio's 2nd body could be African-American.

[MoSeS]

OK. What about Jared Leto as Thomas? Has anyone posted this before now?

That actually did cross my mind, but I don't think it's been suggested yet.

He was good in Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream.

And his band 30 Seconds to Mars is pretty good.

Oh, good call!  He's a good actor too.

I actually do think Denzel Washington could pull off Marcone. But I am not the first to suggest something like this, someone else earlier said Michael Clarke Duncan because he was Kingpin in Daredevil.

Luccio 2.0 has dark curls? I thought she was blonde?

Not that it matters, I think in a movie some liberties should be taken as long as the actor has the attitude of the character.

What was wrong with Gabrielle Union as Luccio 2.0? j/k

also Laurence Fishburne or Michael Clarke Duncan as McAnally instead

[Atanvarno]

Pretty sure there are descriptions of Ana's curls being dark, or possibly auburn.

Gina Holden comes close to the actress I've been thinking of, but not quite.
