Sarah Michelle Geller would make an awesome Murphy!  (not that I am completely swayed by all things Buffy or anything)   ::)

I'm not saying Murphy is fat but SMG would have to thicken up a little bit
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

I love SMG but I'm just not sure she has round enough features to play Murph. I think I've mentioned Julia Stiles before (and I am NOT recommending her for Murphy) but she has the kind of round jaw and features and the cute nose that Murphy needs. I think SMG may be just too lean in her features.

I think she can be a tough nonsense kinda girl.

Murphy is a woman - not a girl.

Agreed! She needs to have rounded features because of genetics, not youth.

Still too young to have Murphy's wary and weary features and the girl doesn't have the acting chops.

no she's like 20/21 i know she's about my age. still alot of her roles have bee n cheerleader "i know better" teenager type things too. although her character in Malcom in the middle was funny, but she's too young for a murphy.

In which case, barring SMG, it should be Emily Rose, who is 29, blonde haired, blue-eyed, has a cute little upturned nose, and looks like she could have been either a cheerleader, or someone's favorite aunt, ANNNND plays an FBI agent on Haven. She also plays alongside Lucas Bryant, who is my choice for Young!Harry.

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."

She just turned 21 in August. Hayden is adorable, but agreed, she is WAY too young for Murphy. And it's unfortunate that she's been typecast, but no one would believe her as a hardened lieutenant in the Chicago Police Department. Sorry, Grey.

Sorry Grey, but a young girl has more rounded and fleshy, if you will, features than a mature woman. 
Less make-up will not make Hayden look world weary.  And Murphy needs to be someone who can really act.
Hayden doesn't have the experience or the chops yet.
