Okay, that was pretty funny.  I like how you made it work for Betty White being Ancient Mai  ;D

Hard to miss it.  One of eight names I DID know.

Ha, yeah I figured not too many people would know most of those, but had to do an asian cast since i did a african-american 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 - Tiny Lister
Rashid - Laurence Fishburne
Injun Joe - Carl Weathers
Waldo Butters - Chris Rock
Don Ortega - Jamie Foxx
Hendricks - Michael Clarke Duncan
McAnally - Danny Glover
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

What's crazy is when I looked at this again, I can really see alot of these actors being able to pull of the right attitudes.

Wesley Snipes as Blade is so Kincaid like. Taye Diggs character in Equilibrium was the police type character that held to the letter of the law, just like Morgan. Forest Whitaker in Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai was sort of like a knight. Sam Jackson as Nic, don't think i need to explain this one. Morgan Freeman, well he really could fit like 3 roles; Eb, Injun Joe, or The Merlin. Tiny Lister was the President in Fifth Element. Denzel as Marcone, I think it fits.

Off topic, I always thought Laurence Fishburne would be the perfect Apocolypse if they ever put that character in the X-Men movies.

FWIW, I'm all for putting Taye Diggs in every movie, ever.
We don't get just one life.  We get as many as we can cram into one lifetime.

As long as you do not do a Kevin Smith casting...

The sad part? Jason Lee as Butters might just work. He's played stoned, he's played stupid, and now he's playing suave on Memphis Beat (TNT)... hell, might as well go for geniusy polka-happy medical examiner.
Murphy: "Maybe you know the monsters, Martin. But I know the guy who stops them."

Dresden: "Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?"

Dresden: "Hell's holy stars and freaking stones shit bells."

In Butcher We Trust.

I was kind of being sarcastic, but he would be better than Nathan Fillion.

I am amazed that Nathan Fillion is winning the poll. I just don't see it at all.

My first pick would be Lee Pace(31). Second would be......tie between Zach Quinto(33) and Chris Evans(29), both have some pros and cons, Quinto comes off as too serious and Evans a little to comedic. Renolds(33) wouldn't be a terrible choice but also too comedic. Padalecki(27)... I don't know yet, haven't finished Supernatural.

Owen(45) was my first choice but he is too old, and Jackman(41) is up there to. Olyphant(42)...lost me at Hitman, and I don't watch Justified. Bettany(39)...just doesn't fit. Same with Butler(40). Neil Flynn(49) is too goofy for me, and way too old. Flanigan (43) also too old. Fillion(39) getting up there.

I favor the younger guys to kick off a movie franchise, makes sense that they can age with the movies, especially since harry is in his late 20's early 30's at the start of the series.

*btw those are their ages next to the names.
