I still Hold to my Previous statement, I still want Bruce Cambell as either Carmicheal, or Stallings.  He has to have a re-accuring role... I wouldn't have it any other way, but Mac doesn't talk enough to have Cambell play him... I can get Behind Kristofferson... Oldman well it is a given that He is going to be there somewhere... I can thinks of at least three villians and two good guys he can easily play.

The only reason I didn't see Bruce as Carmichael was that Carmichael is described as short, overweight and balding.

I think the problem we're going to run into here is the descriptions.  Jim is very specific and fans notice when actors don't match the description given, which is why, in the long run, I think it would be best for the show to be animated, and the characters voiced.

Assuming the obvious choice wasn't cast for the role, how about Bruce Campbell for Larry Fowler?  Just knowing he was annoying Harry for all those years...

I like Bruce too much to do that to him.  I was actually picturing him as Mac, but I could also (On top of my other choices for the character) hear him as the voice ob Bob.

The only problem I have with Jeffrey Donovan as Nic is that I can't see him with the arrogant side.  Diabolical, yes; arrogantly diabolical, no.  It's one of the reasons that I like Gary Oldman for the role.

For Ebeneezer, I'd pick Ben Johnson if he weren't dead.  Unfortunately, I can't think of a single actor who's still alive that could fit my image of Eb, other than Kris Kristofferson, and he's a bit tall.

For Morty, I'd deffinitely go with Willie Garson from White Collar.

I could get behind that.  For that matter, after seeing this picture I might even be able to see him as McCoy

Had to do some serious work to figure out what picture you were talking about.  I don't think I see him as McCoy, though.

Peter is my mental Malcolm. :D

I think Mandy Patinkin would make a good Malcolm.  I hardly recognized him when I watched Dead Like Me, but he's still a great actor, and so underused.

True, But there are better things we can be spending our "Special Effects" budget on... We can spend a few hours making Harry taller, or we can make better flaming monkey poo... your choice.

OR... We can skip the live action altogether, and go with well voiced, gritty animation... Like they do in Japan.  Sacrilege, I know, but...

I really dont think Paul Blackthorne could fit the role, it just doesnt click in my head. they dont have to be 6'9", but at least 6'1" or 6'2" i would think. ive thrown some out there, i still think that Josh Hartnett, or Jared Padaleki , or Sam Worthington would be a good Harry. And yea, thats exactly what i thought of him as in my head. norse. definitely norse.

Whoever plays Harry in a movie has to be over 6 ft tall because his height is often referenced throughout the series as well as  Thomas.

I've said before, and I say again, Height does not matter.  camera tricks can make a shorter person look taller.  Viggo Mortensen is only a few cm taller than Elijah Wood, but they made Frodo look small compared to Aragorn.

Just saw him as a villain on Arrow this week.  Hate to say it, but Ben Browder has gone the way of Nathan Fillion and thickened up right out of the stork harry lankiness.

Actors have also been known to gain and lose weight -- lots of weight -- for certain roles.  Though I don't know if Browder is into that.  That said, he's just my favorite of the moment.

Also, he is too pretty.

A lot can be done to mess someone up with makeup.  But I still like Ben Browder for it.

Here are a few references.  I think there are more.  Almost every time he describes her wild hair color, he describes her natural hair color.

DB reference - pg. 153 (still living at home, hasn't gone full rebel yet)
(click to show/hide)

PG reference - pg. 49
(click to show/hide)

CD reference - pg. 118
(click to show/hide)

I say again.  A minor detail under all the other colors.  But if it's that important, there are bleach kits.

Besides:  I was talking about the general look, not just the hair, and I'm sure the dye job was different before she became Harry's apprentice.

I haven't read a description of Molly Carpenter in ages, but isn't she a blonde or strawberry blonde?  I've always pictured her kind of like a teenage Julianne Nicholson.

Who can tell with all the hair dye?

   I agree that Fairuza Balk, in her prime, would have made an.... Interesting Molly.  Now, though i am not sure which one, I would love to see her play one of Harry's Villianesses. I think it would give a cool and creepy vibe to whatever role... The kind of girl you Hate to Love.

But if they could find someone that could pull off a similar look to that, it would be great for Molly.  Especially teenage Molly.

Yeah, Blade 3 Beil with a little more boob is pretty much my mental Molly body type.

This is how I see Molly, except more muscular.  As I've noted before, this picture is about fourteen years old, but I think this look would do for teenage Molly.

Likewise. Hen's the mental picture of Jessica Beil.  Mostly as she appeared in Blade 3.

And on the issue of "I can't see that actor doing that, I thought the same thing about Gerard butler.

Honestly, I see Stewart Townsend as Thomas.

Probably because of

I'll agree to that.  Though we might disagree on the range of what that could cover. :)  I've known 4 people who were SEALs.  None of them looked like you would think. lol  John was 6'6 and gangly, Rodger was built like a fireplug.  The rest were somewhere in between.  That's probably why I can see Huge as frmr spec ops where most would look at me funny.  I've seen people who look less like special forces than him actually be in special forces.

The thing about Marcone, though, is that he's still got it.  He can rappel from a flying helicopter onto a moving train, and lead men into battle.  He can sever a rope with a thrown knife while hanging upside down and swinging.  I don't see Hugh Laurie doing that.

Though, for all of that, he could have been a Merc too...

Um, that kinda fits sociopath too.. :)  http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html  He's a predator with no limits.  He has an order to his world, and he defends it and his territory ruthlessly.  He appears charming to most, except those who realize the smiles don't touch his eyes.  He sees others as tools.  People often use the term sociopath and psychopath interchangeably, but they are not.  One is impulsive, and often violent.  The other is cold, calculating, and the majority of cases are not violent people. 

Megalomania, on the other hand:
"Megalomania is a psychopathological disorder characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, or omnipotence. 'Megalomania is characterized by an inflated sense of self-esteem and overestimation by persons of their powers and beliefs'.[1] Historically it was used as an old name for narcissistic personality disorder prior to the latter's first use by Heinz Kohut in 1968, and is used these days as a non-clinical equivalent."

Marcon strikes me as many things.  Narcissistic isn't one of them.  He's too practical.  Also, he doesn't strike me as having fantasies of power, or omnipotence.  If he believed that, I doubt he would hire Odin's people.

I'll accept the correction in terminology, but I'm still not sure that Marcone is a sociopath.

I guess, for the right actor, I would accept a range of types as long as they looked like they might have once been military.  Because I'm almost certain that Marcone was, and he was probably Black Ops.
