Honestly, I've always pictured Kincaid as being handsome.  Harvey Keitel is an excellent actor, but he was never handsome, and now he's downright scary looking. 

Except that Megan Fox couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag.  Helena Bonham Carter is a talented actress, but frankly, I don't like her as a person.  However, she does creepy very well.  A younger Miranda Richardson would have been a good Mab.

Has anyone suggested Eva Mendes for Susan?

I wasn't poo-pooh'ing it just on reflex, I did think about it, because his face works.  I can see his face being that of Marcone, and he'd be an excellent young Marcone, all he'd need would be a set of contact lenses.   

I think the problem is that most young actors are tv or movie stars, or they want to be.  They're not actual actors.    A good actor, male or female, can convince you of almost anything.  Though, and I was a theatre major in college so I did take both stage and film acting classes, movies are vastly different from doing plays on the stage.  In some ways it's easier, but in others far more difficult. 

I see Christopher Lee as the Merlin.  He really is just perfect for the role.   Clancy Brown as Morgan?  I suppose he can do it, but he'd be a better Marcone, I think.  Then, in my mind he's still that really hot guy from Buckaroo Banzai and Highlander, which tells far too much of my age, I'm sure. 

The problem with blond actors playing Micheal and Thomas is that they're not blond.  They're both described as having black hair and, I'm sure Thomas does, and I think Micheal also does, have grey eyes.   At one point the books mention Alicia is the only exception to the boys with dark hair/girls with blonde theme the family has.  Sandahl Bergman would be an interesting choice for Gard, but she is a bit too old now.   Too many actresses nowadays fit into a very small mold, no pun intended.  The women in the DV range from tiny Murphy to six-foot Charity and Murphy, to Gard, who is even taller. 

And Mab is totally Tilda Swinton.

Thank you very much for the compliment!   

My avatar isn't working either.  It just isn't showing up, and I did make sure that the picture was public, and I have the artist's permission to use it.

Mac cooks over a wood stove, and he seems to serve beer from his own bottles (though he may have a keg that I can't recall or that's not mentioned).  I can't even remember him using a cash register or having electric lighting.  I don't think he has much if anything that's going to be disrupted by spells, which I think is why nothing ever breaks down from hexing.

Mac does have refrigeration, since he makes lemonade ice cubes, but I suppose he could be using the old freon-tank refrigerators.  He also has some sort of deep-fat fryer, since he makes onion rings.   This is probably silly, but I always wonder if he makes his own bread for the sandwiches.
