Looks like he's mostly standup, hasnt actually acted in anything

Huh. Might not be a good fit then, but... hmmm, maybe, you never know, eh?

I don't remember - has Zachary Levi ever been brought up? I mean, probably, but what did we think of him again?

I could see that.  Though Ive never previously heard of him, so I dont know what his acting range is.


Huh, that would work. Where'd he previously appeared in? (...I should probably just google but...)

I don't know if these have been suggested before, but I think Benedict Cumberbatch would be a great Nicodemus. With his hair cut short and dyed a bit for the silver streak, he'd fit the description, and he's got enough coldness to play Nick. He's chillingly cold in parts of Sherlock.

I also think that Summer Glau would make a good post-Corpsetaker Luccio, although I also think she might make a good Lash (I know she doesn't fith the description, but hey.)

You had me at Benedict Cumberbatch. It's so hard to be a fangirl.
But, seriously though, I think he could pull it off.

(I know it will never happen now, but when Firefly first came out, Sean Maher would've been good for Thomas and Nathan FIllion for Harry. This is what happens when you rewatch Firefly and do a marathon.)

Sherlock Holmes should've been tall and lanky-ish too, but the casting worked. Sometimes it's just the actor and how they act that you need.

...although that said, as awesome and interesting RDJ would be for Harry he's too old. >>

And, if you want a guy who has continued being incredibly lean as he approaches middle age, my other pick for Harry is David Tennant, so there ya go.

This. Please.

Personal Casting so far:
David Tennant as Harry


Matt Bomer as Thomas


toying with:
Brian Dietzen As Butters


Mark Harmon As Marcone

Oh! Another thing:

Ask yourself who's your audience. There are some Christian fiction out there that are definitely meant to be read by Christians themselves, hence it's all preachy.

But, if you're going for...well, everyone... pretty much what they just said.

So I'm trying to settle this sort of thing on tumblr. Posted a huge message talking about my casting for Thomas Raith (Matt Bomer) and if Benedict cumberbatch can be thomas too (nope, the jawline's all wrong. he'll make for interesting fae or something though, someone pointed out) but that's not the question...

the question is...

does anyone know who Jim's casting for Thomas is? I mean, has he said anything on the subject? Someone told me there might be something in a Q&A somewhere but am not sure...

YES. It can work yes!

So I was re-reading Turn Coat... and... Um.... Benedict Cumberbatch or Colin Morgan is definitely Chandler.

I don't know, the character Chuck never really had an opportunity to be bad ass.  The character itself was only supposed to be a geeky, intelligent nerd, uncomfortable with most social and combat settings.  As the character progressed, we saw a more physically active Chuck, but even when he was supposed to be a bad ass super spy, he was still just Chuck Bartowski pretending to be a spy.  It was Levi staying in character as another character, and it worked really well.  Whether Levi could, as an actor unrestricted by the script, play a bad ass, I don't know.  I haven't seen him in anything but Chuck.

But from what I've seen of his acting skills on chuck, I wouldn't put it past him.

I think he can pull it off.

What was it that Harry said about Lara doing more for him just sitting in a chair than Madeline could ever hope to do?

spoilered for (tasteful) nudity

I'm a straight woman and I still think that's pretty sexy.

I once said that Irene Adler is the only woman I'd ever go bi for. hot and sexy, that picture is.

I find it difficult to envision Zachary Levi as a badass. Harry can be terrifying as well as being funny. Has Levi ever been terrifying? I never did keep up with Chuck, so maybe he has been, but he seemed to be mostly rather bumbling and overwhelmed.

I think he can pull it off.

She probably could, yes. She was brilliant as "The Woman." (Jaime Murray is also English, and I'd like to see her as Lara (she's got the black hair for it) or one of the Fae)
You know, maybe we should.

I support this. Both of these.

Zachary Levi
Height:  6' 3.25"
Build:  Lanky



If not David Tennant, I vote Zach. I LOVE Zach, and he can do snark.

BBC Dresden Files for the win! (They can shoot in America if they want to, they've done it for Doctor Who.)
Heh, maybe, but probably not. There are other famously good looking actors who haven't really turned my crank but also haven't come out... though now that makes me wonder a little bit. Hm. Either way, he does nothing for me, so he'll never be on my mind for Thomas.


I have become convinced that Cumerbatch would be ideal for Thomas, if only because his skin almost glows in the right light and his very voice melts my bones. He also has an amazing acting range, which would be important. Jim has said he thinks "Spike is the epitome of the pretty boy vampire and ... I wrote [Thomas] like Spike" and I would of course still be fine with James Marsters as Thomas... or maybe Aiden Turner, who I think of as another quintessential gorgeous vampire... But I think I would be disappointed by anyone else.

Stop Trying to convince me. It's working.

I wrote a crossover-ish fic of sherlock and john being awesome vanilla mortals.

Ben *would* make for a really good incubus vampire. Can Lara Pulver, Irene Adler, pull off Lara Raith?

So how can we get the BBC to pick up a show set in America? Might be tricky for them to shoot in Chicago...  :-\

Maybe you have really good gay-dar.
Me too, sister, me too.

It's pretty much White Collar's fault for me.

And... hm. That is a good question.
