Yes, you did.


If we're doing sports players, Adam Wainwright often stars as my mental Dresden.  Possibly just because the guy is 6'7".  The one on the right.

Who, this guy?
(click to show/hide)

Yeah, goofy enough. :)

I could see Neuer as Madrigal.
I would like a role for Cillessen. perhaps Daniel Carpenter or a fae.

Daniel's a good choice, I think.
Carlos is a planarian.  This is quite efficient as, if he is ever bisected during a fight, there will be two of him.

You are a good person. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Not even yourself.

I've never seen that one before, and now I love him even more.  Um, not that I'm insanely obsessed or anything.  Just the right amount of obsessed for a native St. Louisan.  There is also some awesome footage of him attempting to sing for charity somewhere that is what originally got him stuck in my head for Harry.  (Alas, he's a little busy right now to be starting an acting career.  And it would be a major pay cut.)

If you follow Royal Pains, this season features a mobster from New Jersey.  The guy does the full range and looks the part too.  His name is Jeremy Davidson, and he is Marcone.  Looks fit, knows how to wear a suit and can be all buddy buddy one second and ice cold the next.

I have no problem with Davidson but I don't really think Marcone has been "all buddy buddy" ever.

I think Marcone can appear friendly when he wants to, which is what I meant, although I certainly didn't make that clear.  Going from "hey we're all friends here" false joviality to "I told you how it's going to be" with an icy look in a heartbeat.

In the light of the news over the weekend I began to ask "What character in the DF James Garner could have played?"

He could certainly play funny, snarky, devious and able to take a major beatdown and then get up and hand it back. He couldn't do the really young version but I would have loved to see him as a mid-30's Harry.
Look, he said to his imagination, if this is how you're going to behave, I shan't bring you again.

I think he could have made a decent Ebenezar also.  Maybe not the best choice, but certainly not the worst either.

Garner would have made a perfect Malcolm.  He was great at playing the nice guy who never quite really knew what was going on but had a great heart and knew what to say.

Here's one from left field: Margo Martindale as Mother Winter.

She was great on Justified, but I'm not sure about her as MW.  I would like to see her, though.  I'm trying to think of any other role, but I guess there aren't any, are there?  She's not really what I picture for his landlady.

I've seen her several times and she is great. I think with a good makeup she would be a good MW.

How about these two for Harry and Thomas? Put some dark hair on 'em and I'd be sold. In fact, this is how I always pictured Thomas before remembering he's got dark hair as well.



I've never seen Queer as Folk, so I wouldn't have a hard time watching these two be brothers instead of lovers, but that might be different for some of you!

Also, Anna Paquin for Anna Valmont. Or, Heck, Murph. Nearly.

Carlos is a planarian.  This is quite efficient as, if he is ever bisected during a fight, there will be two of him.

Your Harry looks all right but Thomas is, in my mind, much more attractive than that man.
