Really, guys? I might be remembering wrong, but isn't Butters described as, well, skinny? I adore Kevin Smith and everything, but the man has never been skinny.
That's why I'll admit that my go-to image is kind of weird. Okay, definitely weird. It's possible that the "skinny" part didn't register with me right away. I think of Smith as being short, but definitely not skinny.

Now I'm thinking that Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be a great choice for the Inner Bob that we see in his "apartment" in Ghost Story. For some reason, I have Kevin Smith in my head (... I know) when I read Butters' lines. It's too late to change now.

I think David Wenham could make a good Kincaid - if we're not going with the All-Nathan Revue version, that is.

This is Reginald Vel Johnson, whose face is always in my mind when I imagine what Rawlins looks like
Mine, too! It's either him or Mark Christopher Lawrence ("Big Mike" from Chuck.)

Insofar as Molly's hair is rarely (only) blonde, I don't have a problem with Ellen Page not being blonde either. I Page a lot. She could definitely pull off the Grasshopper.

I like both Marks, Strong and Sheppard. I don't think of Nicodemus as being much like Badger, though.

Sienna Miller is a big, fat, honking NO! Under no circumstances should that talentless, boring shrew be allowed anywhere near the Dresdenverse. Ever.

What about Weatherly as Kincaid?

I like some of DrkHoax's suggestions a great deal, but I really, really want to switch Hugh Laurie to Morgan, and Alan Rickman to Bob. Jared Leto bores me, so he can't get my vote for Thomas, I'm afraid.

The Erlking is one case where I thing the slightly impersonal effect of having CG character would be right. But I'd want somebody good for the voice part. Pearlman would be a gimme. How 'bout somebody less on-the-nose? Christopher Plummer? Paul Bettany Sir Anthony Hopkins? All three of those voices blended by a computer?

... Betty White?

Well, Nathan Fillion is on the poll; Nathan-as-Captain-Hammer is not.

Also, in my ever so humble opinion, Flanigan isn't a strong enough actor for the role of Harry.

Wow - oh, no. I could not disagree more - I don't think Colin Farrell is right for Marcone at all. Too young, too smirky, too self-adoring. Ucch. He was one of the worst things about Daredevil - which was a fairly awful movie all around.

Luccio 2.0 has dark curls? I thought she was blonde?
Pretty sure there are descriptions of Ana's curls being dark, or possibly auburn.

Gina Holden comes close to the actress I've been thinking of, but not quite.

Well, no wonder wizardkind thinks the White Court sucks, then.  ;D

Still laughing at the idea of Topher ("I'M tiny, but fierce") Grace as Sanyashka...

Well, of course you're not. :D

Now that I think about it, why isn't JDM on our list somewhere? I could see him as Kincaid, except I seem to remember a passing reference to Kincaid's having blond hair (don't I? And does it matter?)

For that matter, why didn't I think of Harry Dean Stanton for Morgan? Where is my head at?!

Also, McAvoy can act like nobody's business! He's a Scot, but has played a few Englishmen (and a couple of Irishmen, too, I think.)

Somerhalder has some experience with playing a vampire; I see him more as Madrigal than Thomas, I guess.

Moore's a great actress, full stop. She could do whatever the part requires, I have no doubt.

I also agree that Matt Bomer could do Thomas justice - not only the confidence and charm, but Thomas's conflicted nature, his self-distrust, anger and shame, as well as love for Justine. (I don't think Chris Evans is as strong an actor as Bomer, really. Nothing against the guy, but he's limited to a certain type - at least in the roles I've seen.) If it were up to me (and clearly it's not) I'd just as soon stay away from any wrestlers or swimsuit models altogether.

Pine is okay, I guess; I'm sure there are actual Brits who could play "Steed" Chandler perfectly well.

Every once in a while, though, you have the cases like Supernatural, where the actors are the same age as their characters, lol.
Except for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played a character exactly ten years older than his real age. (Yes, I watched the first few seasons of the show that carefully.)

My girl Julianne IS the Leanansidhe, as far as I'm concerned. I'm pretty sure Lea is described as having red hair, too.

That is inexplicably eerie. Now to find who has the most chemistry with Clooney and fits the role completely to play Beckett. Who looks like they have dead eyes in Hollywood?
::Partially crushes urge to chirp "Everyone?"::

Because I am a sap, I want to say Julianna Margulies here. Not that I think she has dead eyes; but she could. I could see her making Helen Beckitt weirdly compelling. Also, Julianna and George? They still have crazy-making chemistry.
