Perfect Casting Part Three

[groinkick]

Yvonne Strahovski - Mab
Kristina Hendricks - Leah
Megan Fox - Maeve

[Denarian]

Malcolm Mcdowell - Eb

Ooooh, I do like the look of that, but isn't ol' Doc Soran a bit too British for Ebeneezy?
Someone, I think it might have been me, once suggested Nichelle Nichols as Martha Liberty. I'd like to add John Malkovich as Simon LaFortier.

Why not Tommy Lee Jones or Geoff Bridges as Eb?

Holy crap, I can totally hear all of Ebenezar's dialogue in Tommy Lee Jones' voice!  That's an awesome idea!

Jeffery Morgan - Marcone
Brock Lesnar - Mr.Hendricks
Lucy Lawless - Gard

Think J. Morgan would be better as Nick, but definitely witcha on M. Fox...

And while we're on that subject, Samantha Mumba as Tera West.  Yow Wow!

I think he is described as having a British accent but its possible Im assuming that from the overwhelmingly British tone of the Council.  He uses some form of old Germanic for his spells, so that may be were the German came in.

Just reread DB (like, finished it within the last 12 hours), and I thought Morgan's spells were Greek...

In and IN!

Thanks to the wonders of inflight entertainment, I caught a few more episodes of the Big Bang Theory. I present: Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) for Murphy. Provided she can do a voice other than that high-pitched one.

She certainly has the build, but can she do intimidating cop?

Since I'm new here, I've never shared these (even though the wife and I have gone over them).  Some of the people here are wishes, but this is what I would do.  This is what I have in my head as I'm reading.

Harry Dresden -- Tony Hale.  (You all keep coming up with pretty boys for Dresden.  He's NOT.  He's a tall, skinny, gangly geek who won't make eye contact with anyone and only turns into a bad ass when magic is involved.  The rest of the time he's total geek.)

Murphy -- Martha Plimpton
Bob -- Mark Hamill
Michael Carpenter -- Joshua Jackson
Charity Carpenter -- Katee Sackoff
Mac -- Mandy Patinkin (anyone who has seen Dead Like Me can't argue with this one.)
Marcone -- Kevin Bacon
Morgan -- Jeff Bridges
Arthur Langtry -- Hugh Laurie
Mab -- Tricia Helfer
Lea -- Christina Hendricks
Lloyd Slate -- Matthew McConaughey
Nicodemus -- Gary Oldman (might be nice for him to use his native accent in a role)

[phelps]

Murphy -- Martha Plimpton

As backup for this one, BTW, Plimpton has essentially already played Murphy in an episode of Fringe (With Jackson, who I think makes a better Michael than a Harry.)

I agree that he doesnt fit the look, and I dont know about the Hellfire Rages, but I will say that in a recentish episode of Castle, when his daughter was kidnapped, he definitely proved he can do frightening dark.  Put a beard on him and I could easily get behind him as a choice for Michael.

My thing about Nathan Fillion is his voice. Michael has to be deep and reassuring. I think Nathan's great, but he just has this nasality no matter who he plays that often grates on my nerves. Anywho, I haven't seen Castle but I could imagine him doing frightening dark. Nasally.

Also, has anyone ever put forward Stellan Skarsgard for Vadderung/Kringle?

Not a clue. I sure hope so.

Also, I just watched Backwards (usedta row in college) and.... James Van der Beek could be Harry or Thomas in my book. In fact, when I saw him, I realized it was kind of how I've pictured Harry without even knowing it. I don't know if he can do the rage or darkness, but hey, I like the way he looks!

First post - although I registered a few years ago and have been lurking irregularly ever since.
My wife and I were just discussing casting details and came up with one that I don't think has been suggested:

Harry Dresden - David Walton.  (Plays the lead character in "About a Boy", where he snarks it up with aplomb.  He's also tall (6' 4"), which helps.


For Thomas, she's adamant that Ben Barnes is perfect.


For Karrin Murphy, I too have to go along with the Kirsten Bell idea.


For Butters, it has to be Jay Baruchel


With Michael Carpenter, we're going for Hugh Jackman (as per others here), although an honourable mention for Gerald Butler


For Charity Carpenter, Lena Hedley (from Game of Thrones, among others).


For Nicodemus - Benedict Cumberbatch has the ability to swing from charming to malevolent so, so well.

[Seriphina]

Finally! Someone is with me on Ben Barnes.

Also, Jim mentioned Joe Manginello for Michael (I know I've mentioned this before) and Hiddleston for Harry. I'm kinda stuck on those two.

Also, I would like to mention Gina Torres for Terra West.
