Come to think of it, Muse Watson (the guy who plays Mike Franks on NCIS) sounds almost exactly like Ebenezar should. By which I mean that he sounds like James Marsters' voice for Eb in the audiobooks. He doesn't have the build for the character, but the voice and accent are perfect.
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

I think Grey Warden is just twisting your tail WJM - as he is wont to do.

A better comment would be - MAY THE FLEAS OF A THOUSAND CAMELS INFEST YOUR CODPIECE!!

I know he is.  Doesn't stop me from cussing him out.

You forgot part of that curse. The full version is "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch, and may your arms be too short to scratch."

Well, I picked Joe Flanigan with Quinto coming in second.  But that's based solely on the primary picture each had up on IMDb as I didn't know who any of them were.  So I couldn't really vote based on acting style or things like height (b/c Harry is tall, and a man who is 5'6" might not fit the role).  After reading a few of their work histories I have seen some of the things a few of them were in though.

And I'm definitely not reading this entire thread before posting as I usually try to do, hah.  Though I am intrigued by the idea of a movie.

Eh I don't like Quinto for Harry at all. Course I can't help but associate Quito with Heroes and I hated that show.

I was looking up tall actors, and I found this guy who's actually 6'7" and he looks a lot like Harry to me. Of course he's hardly been in anything, so he probably can't act, but for looks he seems to fit really well. Name's Marnix Van Den Broeke.

I like the Idea of Kevin Mckidd as as Hendrick but Ian Mcshane as Rashid I do not see at all he is to short for one.  But what about Michael Williams as Rashid, Omar from HBO's The Wire.

Kevin McKid isn't massive enough to be Hendricks, but I do like him. How about him as Kincaid?

nope. I think Christian Kane has that one locked up. He's a good second though.

I'm not all that fond of Christian Kane. What about him appeals to you as Kincaid?
