Perfect Casting, part 2

[MoSeS]

Ebenezar should be Wilford Brimley.

I also considered him, but I think he is in poor health now and probably couldn't manage some of the scenes.
What made me think of him originally was his role as Uncle Douvee in Hard Target.

Someone mentioned Tommy Lee Jones for Eb in another thread. That I could actually see.

[Aakaakaak]

Clint Eastwood could probably do Eb. He's still mobile enough. He's even got the truck from the last movie he did.

Gran Torino Clint Eastwood.....I like it! Definitely could work.

I wish Clint Eastwood were young again so they could make The Gunslinger, but that book series ended up be crap by the last 3 books, so no huge loss if they never make that a movie.
IMO i think Viggo Mortisen could be the new Clint Eastwood, granted not as good as, but a good replacement if they make any Gunslinger movies.

Has anyone checked the height on any of these harry actors? I know Zachary Quinto is 6' 1-2" but what about the rest? could be Clive Owen or some of these others are a friggin' dwarf in real life.

Zachary Quinto - 6'2"
Lee Pace - 6'3"
Ryan Reynolds - anywhere between 6'1" and 6'3" (bit of an argument over his height there)
Hugh Jackman - 6'2"
Clive Owen - 6'2" and a half
Adrian Brody - 6'1"
Paul Bettany - 6'3"
Timothy Olyphant - 6' 0" even
Nathan Fillion - 6'1" and a half
Hugh Laurie - 6'2" and a half
Joe Flanigan - 6'2"
Chris Evans - 6'0" and a half
Gerard Butler - 6'2"
Neil Flynn - 6'5"



There ya go, hank!

for the record, Jared Padalecki, who looks a helluva lot like Harry on the cover of Welcome to the Jungle (I mean, seriously. It's eerie, the resemblance, there) is 6'4". And he just got done portraying a morally ambiguous hunter for the season on Supernatural. And he's 27 this year, which fits around what Harry's age may be in Storm Front. Just saying

[fivestyle]

wow I could have sworn that I lot of them were under 6'

[MoSeS]

Lee Pace! Lee Pace! Lee Pace!


Vote for Lee!

Nope! They're all stupidly tall. The only issue is which one of them can be made to look as though they're 3 inches shy of 7 feet tall?

(again, this is from the back of Welcome to The Jungle -- Jim says that Harry is absurdly tall -- about 6'9". Which I find makes his relationship to Murphy hilarious, given that she's 5'0" even [according to Blood Rites].)

[fivestyle]

to be honest it really doesn't matter how tall they are. Hollywood has ways around it. IE James Marsden playing Cyclops and Tom Cruise playing well anything. Both are short actors but have played tall roles

I've always wondered how Jim never mentions Harry's problems with doorways or ceilings. I'm only 6'7" and I was getting pissed with how small the doors in chicago were. People never realize how low some public ceilings can be.

[Vash the white]

I think your supposed to assume that he has a whole gandalf in bagend thing going on when he goes through doors, at least i always did

Well, he's mentioned it when Harry goes to MacAnally's. Every once in a while, he mentions that he has to duck because the 13 ceiling fans are all low-hanging

... now I have an image in my head of Harry turning to walk through a doorway, only to bonk himself in the forehead with the door frame.

I hate being 6', I feel short. 

[shades of grey]
