Hi, everyone! I'm new to the board but I'm a long time fan and lurker.

I've always pictured Robert Forster as Marcone. If anyone's ever seen him in Heroes you'll get it.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001233/

For Ebenezer I pictured Jaws Richard Dreyfuss. I could really see him getting into this kind of role.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000377/

For Michael...don't laugh but I can really see Liev Schreiber playing Michael.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000630/

For Bob, I always pictured Craig Ferguson's voice. If you don't know who he is he's used to it.
http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0272401/

Harry is a special case, but I think Nathan Fillion would be great. If anyone has seen him in Castle you'll understand why.

SUPER DISAGREE! Blech! Ptew! Gack! Craig Ferguson is annoying to me on a level that I previously thought impossible. I don't like the thought of Bob as a Scott either. It doesn't really cover Bob's accent in the books, but for some reason I feel like his accent changes based on his owner (in the same way his personality reflects his master.) I like Eugene Levy for v.o. Bob.

Craig does have his moments but I can really picture him saying "Tear her dress off!". After being forced to have read his book American on Purpose it's kind of hard not to like him. Eugene Levy is pretty hilarious though.

Ok... I like the guy who played Jack Sully in Avatar for Harry. At the beginning he had the hair and everything before they gave him the jarhead makeover.

And the evil old Marine guy for either Kincaid although he seems old then for Murphy so maybe as a hardened Marcone?

Bleah.  The Ben-Affleck-on-steroids look does not work for me at all.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

Worthington =/= Harry

Since I just watched Sherlock...
Jude Law == Thomas?

Jude Law is somewhat repellent to me; ergo I will never see him as Thomas.  Good actor, just gives me the willies.... heavens knows he wouldn't think much of me either if he saw me...

I haven't seen Jude Law as human since I saw him in AI. And I don't think it was great acting, it's just... he doesn't look real.

I like my cracktheory that Thomas modeled his ridiculous French accent after Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.
