I can see Tim Curry as Nic.

There shall be no football discussions in this thread.  The season's over.  Go Packers.

Wait, what? Are we talking about the Dresden Files TV show? Because Bob was not played by Tim Curry. The actor was Terrence Mann. I am, however, fully in support of having Tim Curry in some role. Because he's awesome. I still stand by Eddie Izzard as Bob's voice. But whoever we choose, they must be british. I can't imagine Bob without at least a slight British accent. Apart from Marsters, of course.

Also, I finally found someone who could probably do Marcone; Mark Harmon (Gibbs on NCIS). And please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like John Barrowman with grey hair.
Hmmm...

Bellmaker, you might be onto something with her.
I, for one, vote that no discussion of football should occur in this thread. Too much potential for getting off topic.

TC - this enormous thread is all about who we'd like to see for a Dresden Files Movie if ever such a thing would occur.
Keeps fingers tightly crossed.   As for getting off topic.  Brief pause - ROTFLMAO -  other than the threads which are designated as staying tight on topic - thread derailment is an olympic sport around here.
As for Harmon, you're right he does look a bit simular to John Barrowman.  Don't know about Marcone - I was suggesting Chris Melonie for Marcone.  Way,way meaner looking.
Actually you just gave me an idea.  John Barrowman for Chandler - the British Warden that Harry calls Steed.

I was talking about the fact that exartiem said that Tim Curry played Bob, which never happened. (Unfortunately. If it had, maybe there would've been more than one season.) And after taking a look, I think Chris Meloni would make a decent Marcone.

Oh, and I might have said this before, but just in case...Here's Lea.
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Actually it wasn't the skill, of which there was plenty, of the actors or who was playing what.  Even with Tim Curry there wouldn't have been another season.  DF was shot down because the SyFy channel doesn't understand SF and does NOT want to spend money on any kind of good product.  They shot down DF for Pain Killer Jane and then shot down Jane for that abomination - Flash Gordon.
Because it was 'cheaper' not better, not as good, but cheaper!

I just don't GW.  Maybe it's typecasting on my part.
Marcone is older and more steeped in the culture of his role.

I still think of Jamey Sheridan as Nicodemus, because of his Randall Flagg role.

This picture makes me think of the parley between Nic and Harry at the aquarium in Small Favor.

I think it is important to rememb er that Ancient Mai is Ancient even by wizard standards.  I definitely don't think there should be any girlish or young womanly features.  She should be imposing, regal, even elegant in her dress sure.  But I think she should look like someone's tough ass great grandma who seems to power on by sheer force of will.

I agree - like I said, I'm not lobbying for some hot young thing...or even some hot middleaged thing. I just think that the woman in PotC can't have been pretty when she was young, which is not the idea you should get from Mai. As you said, she should be "regal" and "elegant" and the PotC actress looks way to weathered, not somebody who's spent most of thier life indoors, as I believe Mai has.

Hm, Clancy Brown as Morgan - that could work. And not just because its JB. ;)

Give Leonardo DeCaprio another 10 years and then heck yeah! (And I'm just as shocked as you GW that I'm actually agreeing, lol.)  ;D

Lol! Yep, that's Micahel for you. Exactly the reasons I love him so much. (Plus the buff part - you know, if we're really being honest about this.) ;)

I recent found the actress to play Murph her name is Megan Dodds.

We have officially found Murphy!!! Bless you, bellmaker!!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Oh, and I might have said this before, but just in case...Here's Lea.

Now what actress is that again? I'd have to know that to evaluate her acting potential but looks-wise that is so Lea.

And now let me appologize for this insanely long post...I've been buried in homework all week so you'll have to cut me a break. ;)
