*glad everyone forgot it was he who mentioned TC agian*

 yes well how about *sad* heath Ledger for Madrigal Wraith in "Perfect" Casting

I'd certainly approve of that - although I'd actually rather seem him as Thomas in this "Perfect Casting" scenario. He's one of the few who could actually pull of the long, curly hair and make it look natural and sexy. I know he was a blond but just darken it a little and I could forgive that. *sigh* He was a great actor.

See my post about TC ruining a HD movie by making it all about TC not about HD.
Don't care about his height - care that he can't act and doesn't make good story choices and wants authors to modify their work for him even if it destroys the story.  He did that with one writer fortunately who didn't sell out and his script was picked up by an actor who did it justice.  True story.

I'm intrigued - which movie was that and who ended up playing the role?

Hey, Paramount dropped Cruise as one of their major stars.  Studios DO NOT do that unless the actor is somehow being a real pain in the tuchis.  And while MI3 or whatever number it was didn't do as well as expected - it wasn't so bad that the studio would respond that way.  Something else was going on behind the scenes.  Cruise would mutate the heck out of a DF script - to a point where you'd hardly recognize it as JB's work.

Very good points, Snowleopard - amen to that! Even if he were a good actor and looked right for the part he still wouldn't work.

With his long legs the spurs will hit those who are pursueing him

And that would just have to improve his day even more. Okay, its decided - Harry needs spurs. 

He just needs some spurs next time

Lol! Yeah, he really could use with those...giving some unsuspecting baddie standing behind him a heel kick would just have to improve his day at least a little. 

Yeah, I like the hat not only because its very gumshoe but also because its very cowboy. Harry really does remind me of a Western hero - only with a slightly bigger mouth.

Hello im new here and im not sure if many folks will understand this casting  but when i saw mike holmes from holmes on holmes on hgtv i said to my wife that he was the perfect michael  (which her haveing not read the books got me a strange look)
first post
hopefully they get better

Welcome to the forum, montrealdrew!!! I'll have to keep my eye on that when I eventually watch them (I've recorded every episode but haven't found the time to watch them yet.)

Btw, excellent point about Fillion's cheekiness, Snowleopard and Warden. I hadn't figured it out but that's exactly what makes him unqualified for Michael.
