Um. Okay. Who is she?

My thoughts exactly.

The moribund equine has been more than sufficiently flagellated.

No, not as Nicodemus, definitely not. I have my heart set on Mark Sheppard for that role (Thanks, Bluebeard!)

And I don't think as Michael, either... I need to look at my male cast listing again.

Harry -- Alexis Denisof
"Bob" -- the voice of John Cleese [or preferably the voice of Jim Butcher in a completely EPIC cameo]
Thomas Raith -- Matt Bomer

William Borden --
Michael Carpenter --
Jared Kincaid (The Hellhound) -- Christian Kane
"Gentleman" Johnny Marcone -- Ray Wise
Donald Morgan -- Clancy Brown

Carlos Ramirez --
Sanya --

Arthur Langtry (the Merlin) -- Christopher Lee
Rashid, the Gatekeeper -- Shaun Toub
Joseph Listens-to-Wind (AKA "Injun Joe") -- Wes Studi

Gregori Cristos --
Ebenezar McCoy -- Jim Beaver
Simon Petrovich --
Aleron LaFortier --
Lloyd Slate -- Maybe?
Fix --
Waldo Butters -- Justin Long
Ron Carmichael --
Malcolm Dresden --
Justin DuMorne --
Father Anthony Forthill --
Hendricks --
Mortimer Lindquist --
Mac McAnally --
Nicodemus -- Mark Sheppard
Don Paolo Ortega --
Samuel Peabody --
Henry Rawlins -- Reginald VelJohnson
Rudolph --
John Stallings --

I dunno. I see him as a definitive villain. He might be good as a good guy, but he kills it when he's a bad guy. And I crossed out everyone I already have roles for, plus Ramirez, Gregori Cristos and Sanya, for obvious reasons.

too old for William Borden and Fix, too young for Forthill, should have scratched Ortega for those same obvious reasons.

Carmichael, Rudolph, Stallings....kind of small roles, but it would work.

and I still think Alan Rickman should be Mortimer Lindquist

even though Lindquist probably should look more like Truman Capote.

I guess Steve Buscemi could be another choice for Lindquist.

She is Radha Mitchell. She's 5'5 and change, but I have never seen her in a movie where she didn't look like she would qualify for dwarfism.

Pretty sure we don't need to worry about him since we've never met him, so unless his ghost shows up, we no nothing about him other than that he was Russian (was he? I think that was confirmed, maybe it's just an assumpution based on his name.), was on good terms witht he Red Court and is now dead.

She is very hot.  Nuff said.

Radha Mitchell has been in a lot of stuff recently, but I don't think she's right for Murphy.  :'(

Moses has me sold on Kristen Bell as Murphy.  8)

Kristen Bell? hmmm.. interesting. Does Jim have any casting choice for Murphy?

If this a picture of Natasha Richardson, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she died last year from a head injury while skiing.

I know. It's perfect casting for a reason - any era and such - this was from when she was younger. I think she may be the Murph in my head... ;)

and she's too tall and old anyway.

RIP to her.

Right, well I think the verdict is still out on wether Perfect Casting is the same as Fantasy Casting.

I tend to lean toward a potential Perfect Cast vs an impossible Perfect Cast, because the fact that it's impossible makes it a little imperfect.  :P

But yeah if time-travel and ressurection were possible, sure she would have been a great Murph.

Y'know now that Fillion seems to have dominated the Dresden poll maybe we should do a new poll for the perfect Murphy.
