Michael's tough. Nathan Fillion is too snarky for michael, and there are VERY few actors who are paragons of hope, virtue, AND badassery. And personally, I think Lara is all a matter of personal taste.

Michael may be tough but he should instantly inspire hope and confidence.  Jeremy Irons doesn't do that.  He'd be great for Nic though.  Paul Gross for Michael.

Is he bulky enough? I feel like Harry described him as a rather built individual.

He's bulkier than Jeremy Irons, and you can make someone look bulkier with costume also.

I don't know about that one.  Sheen isn't behaving well off camera these days and insurance companies DO NOT like to have people like that on a movie.

Okay, sorry I didn't see that post brd9214.
My comment about not know about that one was in regards to Sheen.

No, frankly I think we should be the new, upcoming fashion myself.
Too many people have become very rude and impolite.
My city, Los Angeles is now ranked with ruder people than New York. ::)

My Cast list-

Harry Dresden- Timothy Olyphant
Karrin Murphy- Allison Mack
Thomas Raith- Josh Duhamel
Bob- Eddie Izzard
Molly Carpenter- Amber Heard
Michael Carpenter- Jeremy Irons
Charity Carpenter- Ali Larter
Sanya- Aldis Hodge
Marcone- Neal Mcdonough
Susan- Eva Mendes
Mac- Neil Flynn
Mab- Sharon Stone (think basic instinct 2?)
Lea- Elena Satine
Morgan- Rutger Hauer
Lasciel- Olivia Wilde
Ebenezar McCoy- Billy Connolly
Lara Raith- Angelina Jolie
Butters- David Krumholtz
Merlin- Christopher Lee

Hmmm, Neal McDonough might work for Marcone. Honestly, though, I think if we can just fine someone who looks like a more sinister version of George Clooney, we'd have our Marcone. Maybe it's just because I'm so used to seeing Clooney in suits of some sort (ocean's 11, 12, 13) but that's really close to what I imagine Marcone looking like.

And as for Eva Mendes...I think she might make a good Susan, but I've never pictured her as quite that curvy. Curvy, yes, but not to that degree. Neil Flynn as Mac? Damn, why didn't I think of him. I guess because I can't imagine him bald like Mac. And as for Angelina, I think she's too artificial looking. Especially in the face area. Once again, I suggest Stana Katic. And Olivia Wilde as Lash is something I will support. Although she might also work as Elaine.

My cast list:
Harry=Alexis Denisof
Murphy=Megan Dodds
Bob=Eddie Izzard
Morgan=Clancy Brown
Ebenezar=Jeff Bridges (although Billy Connoly would also work)
Merlin=Either Christopher Lee or Terrence Stamp
Martin=Keanu Reeves
Kincaid=Adrien Brody (Again, basing this off Predators, where he was a total badass)
Lara=Stana Katic
Erlking (Voice)=Keith David
Cowl=Peter Stormare
Thomas=Matt Bomer
Malcom Dresden=Nathan Fillion
Skinwalker (Voice)=Gabriel Woolf
Nicodemus=Timothy Dalton
Bianca=Monica Bellucci
Red King=Danny Trejo
Lea=Julianne Moore
He Who Walks Behind (Voice)=Ron Perlman

And that's all I've got for now.

My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Neil Flynn just struck me as the sort of actor who could express miles with a grunt.
