Uriel is described as having dark skin.  I like Sam Elliot but he's not got dark skin.

We may not have been introduced to the character Sam Elliot will play.

Jim needs to hurry up and put a badass french warden somewhere so I can put Jean Reno on my casting wishlist.

Problem with casting Morgan Freeman as Uriel is that, if we did that for his scene as Jake the janitor in Small Favor, everyone would know that he was more than just a janitor. He's supposed to be subtle, the quietest of the Archangels.

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

Damn, I just realized that this means that Samuel L. Jackson would never be able to play Uriel. Because quiet and Samuel L. MUTHA[bleep] Jackson don't really go together.

Hmm quiet, unobtrusive, dark skinned, able to pull off "wise"...  I think I'd go with Chi McBride.  He's a fine actor, I really enjoyed him in Boston Public back in the day.  And best of all he shows up all the time in random support roles, so it won't have the Morgan Freeman/bruce almighty God issue.

I've always thought of Frankie Faison for Uriel. I think it's because he played Lloyd in The Stupids movie, he was a Janitor who Stan Stupid mistook for God (and thought Lloyd was the correct utilization of "Lord")



And you know what else? Screw it, I'm making Jean Reno my wish for Morgan.

Words I thought I'd never say. ::)
I'm with GW on this one.
Jean Reno is good but not Morgan.
