Your Harry looks all right but Thomas is, in my mind, much more attractive than that man.
The looks are reversed.  Thomas is supposed to be panty dropping handsome, while to me, I always see Harry as decent looking, certainly not unappealing, but no one would pay him special attention based on looks alone.  Unless she's into storks.

I find "that man" pretty attractive... *shrug* The picture is also more than 10 years old, so he miiiight have changed since then. ;)

Well, that it is why I said "in my mind". I don't even qualify him of "good looking", just average.

Older, weathered, mildly overweight, and an innately antagonistic expression on his face.  Works for me

And of course, this dog as Mouse.


Oh, and has anyone considered Jason Segel or Alexander Skarsgård as Harry? Both men are well over six feet tall.

No, but now I have! Can Jason Segel do serious angry stuff as well as he can do goofy? I've mostly seen him in HIMYM and that Muppet movie...

Its been awkward humor in everything Ive seen or heard of from him.  That doesnt mean he cant, but I dont thinkhe has yet.  He doesnt really fit for me though, I picture somebody with more angles.

Yeah, maybe back when he was thinner.

But speaking of HIMYM, I've been thinking lately that Cobie Smulders would make an awesome Susan Rodriguez.

Kay, hivemind: I've tried to bring this up in the casting thread over in the Spoilers section, but no one took the bait.

Who would you cast for

Can we discuss that here, or shall we all hop on over to the Spoilers thread? http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,41668.165.html

Id cast him as the same as his appearance in GS and Changes.  It's kinda hard to pick somebody specific, but honenstly he's so rarely on screen and without much in the way of emotional range, that I think it's the kind of role they will poach somebody from the modelling world and act around them.

Stephen Amell is pretty :)  I mean, you'd never get him for a bit part like that, but he's pretty.

He might, if Uriel's roll continues to grow.  I think he could do a good surprised/bewildered look for Uriel when he is surprised by harry and humanity. 

Personally, i wish Uriel had kept the Jake look from SmF.  Then it would be obvious.

Also:  I haven't been able to get Weird Al as Butters out of my head lately.

And Morgan Freeman can be anyone or anything he wants :)

I always see Uriel as Morgan Freeman, no matter its current look.

Stephen Amell is pretty, I agree with that. Uriel is relatively impassible, so he may do it, but I really think he is not a good actor.
