He was the first image in my mind when Nic appeared.

Great minds think alike.  Sometimes.  I admit that my first visualizations for both Morgan AND Nicodemus were Lani Tupu.  Dark hair, ponytail, beard, etc.  But Curry would work, I think.  A younger Curry DEFINITELY would have.

I see Binder as Ricky Gervais, except shave his head obviously.

My sister sent me this picture the other day labelled "Harry and Thomas"

We've liked Joe Manganiello for the role for a little while now, Jim recently agreed at a q&a (not to us though)

Sorry, Mark Sheppard has already been cast as Binder.

I was all ready to tell you that rather than this Mark Sheppard person, we needed to get Crowley from Supernatural. 

Ironically, I didn't see Sheppard as Binder in TC, but I did in SG.  I blame the prevalence of him on all of my shows lately (last season's recurrence on White Collar; Supernatural; Warehouse 13)

I can't put the blame on that.  Haven't seen him in anything since the Firefly series ('cause I have that on DVD).  Don't watch TV.  But he's been Binder since his first appearence TC for me.  Wasn't just the British accent.  I think it was Binder's style of sarcasm (similar to Badger's), and some of his expressions.

Sheppard's accent is kinda muddled, anyway--I can usually distinguish 'tween POMEs' and Aussies' 'cause two of my grandchildren have spoken the latter since birth.

But I can't distinguish in Sheppard's case.  There seems to be a little "upward" inflection at the end of most sentences in Oz-Speak that frequently makes 'em sound like questions.  Don't hear that in most UK accents, and don't hear it from Sheppard.  But otherwise (at least in his 'Badger' role) he felt Aussie...

Ah, gotcha.  I've read the books (more than once, and due for a reread if I can find the time), but I haven't seen the HBO series.  And no, I don't know the actor's name either.  Have the same problem with an actor who I have visualized as Michael Carpenter from the very beginning.  Simply CAN'T remember his name or what he played in, but he's perfect for the role...

Thanks noquiexis! It's Aidan Gillen. I could have searched for it, I guess I was just having a lazy moment, sorry.
I think his voice sounds right for Nicodemus in my mind. I had pictured Nic as somebody more Latin (like Italian) but I can't think any Latin looking actor that convinces me. Aidan does a good job as a Macchiavellian character.

Griffyn612,

     Nice work! Did you do these? Good match for all of the actors (and actress) to the characters!

8) ;) 8)
It's just an online app that lets you turn a picture into a sketch.  Those are the actors I felt best capture the essence of the characters.  I decided to try and capture that essence, rather than focus on the 'casting'.

It all started with this one.  I thought it captured the moment between Mab and Harry in CD.

     Could we please have a link for that app? Another forum that I frequent is heavily into photography, and we are always looking for new treatments for our pictures. Thank you!

:D :) :D
Sure thing.  It's about as easy as it comes.  Just need to make sure your picture is centered correctly for what you want the focus to be.
