Perfect Casting, part 2

[Snowleopard]

*shrug* Jim has also mentioned that Erica Cerra is his casting choice for Susan, but that doesn't keep me from seeing her as Gina Torres. Huge, shaggy, grinning Irish wolfhouds look like the initial picture I formed of Mouse after reading descriptions of him in the novels.

Mountain Dogs have apparently been known to challenge bears - they are also freaking enormous.  A little girl could very easily use one as a pony without bothering it a bit.
  Wolfhounds don't have anywhere near the Mountain Dogs mass, nor frankly their oneryness.

I'm not saying otherwise, but Irish Wolfhounds are also included in the largest breeds in the world, and they are friendly and shaggy, so that's just always how I saw Mouse.
According to http://www.petinsuranceonline.co.uk/articles/ten-biggest-dog-breeds-in-the-world.html Mountain Dogs aren't good with children, and can be unmanageable if not trained right.
That page also mentions the Tibetan Mastiff, which could also be a good choice for Mouse, considering his origin. And, I mean, just look at this puppy:

Yeah, normal Mountain Dogs aren't good with kids. But Mouse isn't exactly normal. I've always imagined Mouse looking more like a big German Shepherd or something.

[Snowleopard]

Yes, a true Mountain dog has to be well socialized but remember Mouse is way more than just a dog.
Leah called him an Ice Demon from Tibet.
And a Mountain Dog is what JB sees for him.

Awwww! Such a lovely puppy

[hank the ancient]

remember this is casting though. If Caucasian shepherds are that aggressive/dominant it may be better to hire a more social breed, like the Tibetan mastiff or some mix that people won't be able to place. keep in mind the issues of hiring well trained animal performers, it's not like a company can get a purebred puppy, perfectly train them and have them ready as an adult dog for a certain role within a standard timetable and without assuming the risks.

[NeuroHeart]

I'm actually liking this Tibetan Mastiff thing more and more. There are some I see that have manes like lions, which seems to fit with the descriptions of Mouse:

They're also guard dogs from Tibet, which is fitting in general. Big, friendly most of the time...
...can be scary:


And they're big enough for a child to ride around on. I might be sold.

Re: Nathon Fillion.  Thank you, NeuroHeart.... I'm beginning to see the light!

Happy to help

I Agree

Tibetan Mastiff - FTW

[Shecky]

Look at those eyes. They're saying "I WILL F*** YOU UP."

[NeuroHeart]

Look at those eyes. They're saying "I WILL F*** YOU UP."

I know, right? 


Moving on, here are my thoughts on Margaret and Malcolm Dresden:



And some commonly seen Wardens
Ramirez:


Morgan:


Luccio pre-swap:


Luccio post-swap (will killer dimples):


And that's all the Wardens I have. Surely there are more of them, but I don't have a clear picture of them. I'm also trying to hunt for the Alphas other than Will and Georgia, but so far nothing has fit or come to mind.

[Warden John Marcone]

Olivia Wilde as Lily?

Mmm...nah.  Uber-hot with the green hair/eyes, but Wilde's got too much personality to be the scared Lily.  Besides, got her pegged as either Luccio 2.0 or Elaine.

[NeuroHeart]

Wilde's got too much personality to be the scared Lily.

But don't forget, she then becomes the Summer Lady.

And the fae need to be that pretty.

And I see Amy Acker as Elaine:


I already posted my Luccio 2.0

Yes, a true Mountain dog has to be well socialized but remember Mouse is way more than just a dog.
Leah called him an Ice Demon from Tibet.

And URIEL addresses him as "little brother".

[NeuroHeart]

Yes, yes, we are all aware that Mouse is not just a dog. However, a dog would need to be cast as Mouse. I will stick by the Tibetan Mastiff for that.


Anyway, moving right along, I have some Knights and a Father Forthill:

^ So much yes to all your choices it's ridiculous.
