Speaking of ruining the part look what they did with bond, a blond bond, completely turned me off to the series.

I agree his hair is a little too light but it is only dirty blond to light brown and not anywhere near "Spike blond" so I can forgive that for the most part.  ;) (Anyone else notices how I've now mentioned Spike or James Marsters at least 3 times on my limited number of posts today? I'm not trying to...he just keeps poping into my head. I must be in the mood for hi..ahem, I mean the show he was on.)  ;D

He is beautiful!  Perfect casting in my eyes!

No kidding...that picture is awesome! He should be Harry for sure - brown hair, good looking but unique enough not to be too "Hollywooded up," and does snarky to a T.  ;) My vote has officially changed now.

P.S. Ryan Reynolds is gorgeous but he's too but to play Harry.  ;)

So give him some lifts.  We have our Harry.

Yay :)

I'm sure anyone who's watched the show knows that Master Jim originally asked James to portray Harry. James said no, because filming would take him away from his kids (his son, who was barely eleven at the time of the show's premiere, and his niece.) Come on. Say 'aww.' You know you want to. He's a family man. With that background alone, it would make him perfect for Harry, particularly around the time of Changes.

Not to mention, he's damn hot, and looks like he's still in his mid-twenties (James was born in 1962.)

MY OP:

Zach - not tall enuff; evil looking - or maybe I can't get his Hero's character out of my head
Lee - um, Lee who??? too young; too innocent looking
Paul - too blond, but maybe. can't picture him with dark hair
Tim - eh, too cute
Nathan - maybe ...
Joe - def possibility
Chris - heck no! too damn cute. Now he could be Thomas!
Neil - Really??? Seriously?  in what universe??
Jared - too pretty and too young

If I had to vote for anyone it would be Joe. I still say Paul Blackthorne is great!

Jared's too pretty? Clearly you've never seen him on a candy binge, nor his chipmunk impression when he's drinking Dr. Pepper.

Born in 1962??? No way...really? I knew he was older than he looked but I can't believe he's actually 48. I guess as a 17 year old I shouldn't still find him hot but I can't help myself. And a family man, too. I'll say just go ahead and say it - awwww...  :D

Dude, I started watching Buffy at age 14 (that was in 1999 for anyone counting). Buffy was in its third season, and my very first episode ever watched was Lovers' Walk, the season three episode where Spike came back to Sunnydale head over tails drunk off his gourd and blaming his break up on Buffy and Angel (who, by the way, I hated on sight, before I'd ever even seen him in Season 2. Boreanaz is hot, but his wishy-washy "Oh, I can't, Oh, it's wrong, Oh, I have to suffer to be happy and drag the girl I love down with me before fucking her up beyond all recognition" spiel pissed me off).

James was 37 years old when he filmed that episode, and despite being fourteen and very aware of the inherent RL ick-factor, I had absolutely NO qualms in having a crush on the man :) Those eyes, and those cheekbones alone... guh. And when I found out that he was a family man (which, admittedly, wasn't until Buffy was well off the air, and I got desperate looking for more info on him)? Oh. That sealed the deal :)

Speaking of James (and Spike) he is currently LOSING in a freaking poll to John Locke from LOST. This is completely unacceptable. Spike is a multidimensional character. I've never seen more than one episode of LOST, but I refuse to believe the Locke is better than Spike. If you can, please vote for Spike? (And if you don't like Spike, vote for him anyway, esp. if you don't like LOST, lol.) 2010 Character Competition - Day 7.Round 1.7
