Having seen Sorcerer's Apprentice(don't burn me to a crisp...  I liked it.) and now I can totally see Jay Baruchel as Butters.

Who's that? Is that the kid that looks and sounds like a miniature Nicholas Cage? The one that played the apprentice?

I understand what you're saying. But hey, it isn't bad as the version of Susan they had on the TV show.  :-\


Ugggggghhhh don't get me started on that. The same people that did the casting for that are some of the same people that wanted to rename Harry "Eric."  >:(

As for Clancy Brown, I remember seeing it in the casting thread somewhere.

It is here. I forget who first mentioned it, but for Morgan? Hells yes.

Indeed, he played the awkward and geeky Dave.  Who I thought managed to take the role to the edge of being over the top without falling off ito ridiculousness.  I enjoyed his part more than Cage's.  Possibly because he looked so like Dresden in my mind.  It pulled me out of the fun of the flick a couple of times.

HELL YEAH. Same here. She is smokin' for a 45 year old.

She's Italian, but way too hot to play the old Luccio 1.0. Belluci is my Mab.

She is married to Vincent Cassel!?! Just saw that when I looked up her age.

What about........NO!

I am all about some underdogs playing some supporting roles, but casting the main star with some nearly unknown actor just doesn't cut the mustard.

And seriously? Did you not see the poll? I mean with all those choices, you pick this guy??? Really?

*Granted my poll is missing Alexis Denisof, which I regret, cause I would much rather see him winning than N Fillion.

I was looking over the poll and kind of reflecting on how each actor measures up, and when I was looking at Hugh Jackman's profile, I noticed his wife. She is 13 years older than Jackman, and it kind of shows.

She must have an amazing...............money maker.

The... the guy from Jake 2.0?  Really?  Not as Harry. Get him to geek it up and maybe hr could be Butters.  Maybe.

I'm sure make up and the screen can do something to remedy that.

or maybe not.
Mab would be interesting for her.

I do have Scarlett Johannson in my original cast, but I had her down as either Lily or Aurora, she just seemed like a Summer Lady to me.

Anyhow, I think she has too soft a look for Muphey. Maybe too much of a baby face, I can't really put my finger on it, but even though she kicked a$$ in Iron Man 2, she still doesn't strike me as hardcore like Murph.

Speaking of Iron Man 2, I think Gwyneth Paltrow could make a really good Lea/Leanshide.

And/or Cate Blanchett.

Well Murphy is supposed to look like a kid's favorite aunt.
