My brilliant husband just came up with the most amazing casting choice for Marcone.  Dolph freakin' Lundgren!



I would think he fits Kincaid better myself.

Nah, I picture a more feline grace sort of dangerous for Kincaid.  Id cast Dolph as a decent Hendrix

Those are good points.  Dolph would make a good Hendricks from a physical standpoint and also, as we've learned, because he looks like a big, dimwitted oaf but is actually quite smart.  I could see him as Kincaid, too.

The reason he came up as Marcone is because we were watching TV last night and a commercial featuring Ray Wise came on.  Ray has been my Marcone for awhile, but as Marcone has gotten progressively more bad@ss, I'm not sure Ray could pull it off.  I'm not sure I can imagine him in the more physical scenes in Fool Moon and Small Favor, even though to me he otherwise *looks* like Marcone.

Agreed, he's just too old for what is still a physically demanding role.  I could see him for Nic (though I picture a far more skinny/emaciated person), the head Svartalf, or maaaybe Vadderung.  It might be a waste of talent, but he'd make a perfect Ferro.

I dunno...Ray looked kinda slender in the commercial.  I could see him as Nic.  For Vadderung...I think Liam Neeson

You image of Ray Wise is the first image I've seen that I'd accept over Robert Loggia.  I don't see the physical parts of the role as an issue.  That's what CG is for...

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I think he'd make a great Kincaid...

At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

Yeah, I'm not sure what that picture is from, but he does look very Marcone-ish to me in it.  Maybe Ray would be willing to buff up a bit for the role ;-)

How about Nicola Peltz as Molly?  She has the right look for her I think.

Ever since someone told me Liam Neeson as Morgan, I can't see anyone else.

She certainly does, but how about Elizabeth Olsen? She got mad props for playing a rebellious, traumatized young woman in Martha Marcy May Marlene and she's playing Wanda Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron. :)

My two nominees for Molly: Anna Paquin and Gigi Edgely.  Tending more toward the former because then the latter can play Mab.

Anna Paquin would've been great for Molly 10 years ago or if we don't see Molly until she's already an adult, and Gigi Edgley is at an age where she would be better as Charity.  But if we want someone that could play a teenage Molly and then an adult Molly, I think a younger actress would be better.

Chloe Moretz would make a great Molly too I think

Speaking of Harry, I recall a poll a long time ago (from an earlier iteration of this thread) that suggested Nathan Fillion was the best choice for Dresden. I dunno, Harry can be terrifying at times and Fillion has never really scared me (as talented as he is). Has Nathan ever played the villain in something?

Captain Hammer in Dr. Horrible, in a manner of speaking? ;)

I agree - Mal takes 15 times as much of a beating as he should be able to, just like Harry, but that's where the resemblance ends for me. His looks aren't angular enough and I don't think he could pull off the super-rages Harry gets into in, say, the Hellfire days.
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.
