Perfect Casting, part 2

I loved them all!

I like HBC, it fits.

Okay, so I have pictured Nathan Fillion as Harry for quite some time. I've seen some great images of Alexis Denisof as Harry, and I think he would be a good choice, but my mental image has remained Fillion.

This image right here has just replaced him:



It had never occurred to me before, but... holy crap. He could so pull it off:

Sam Elliot as Morgan?

Hahaha, I was just arguing with my sister this afternoon about casting DT as Harry!

*<< Of course I'm unbiased...*

In terms of acting ability, I think he would be a phenomenal Harry--as seen in Doctor Who, he can do drama, geekiness, righteous wrath (The Righteous Bride episode, anyone?), and he's just freaking cool!  My only reservation regarding him (besides the accent, which shouldn't be much of an issue) is his height.  At 6'1", he's not exactly towering over many actors out there.

And besides, he can already pull off the general duster-ish look, albeit over a suit... 


For an alternate look at him with The Coat:

True, but the same can be said of Denisof; he's the exact same height. I've seen shorter actors suggested, too (Marsters has been mentioned a few times, and he's under six feet) and Fillion isn't much taller, I think he's 6'2" at the most. There just aren't many actors who could actually match Harry in height.
And yeah, we know he can do accents if the man can go from Scottish to flawless English accent. 

Thing is, I have to reconsider my vision of Thomas, now. I've always, always seen James Marsters (in his slightly younger days, though I honestly think he could still pull it off) but he doesn't really look like he could be related to Tennant. I know that Harry and Thomas have only a slight resemblance to each other, which is exactly what I thought Marsters and Fillion had: a very slight resemblance. The only actor I can think of who would bear a resemblance and be able to play the character is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but I don't know that he has the body for it. Hot he is, Greek God of Boflex he's not so much.

I'm a fan of Klodi for Leah, but as for acting ability and looks, has anyone mentioned Sara Rafferty, recently of 'Suits' on USA?

On the show, she's very good at switching mood and personality at the drop of a hat.  I could see her playing sweet/crazy very well, and she has the looks.

I love her in "Suits"!  I'm not sure if Lea is the right character for her, but I definitely want to see her somewhere in the Dresdenverse.

Just wait until you get to the part of Angel season 5 that made Jim sit up and go "OMGHARRY"!

Which episode is that? Just so I can go watch and see if I agree. Because so far, I really don't see Alexis Denisof as Harry

The particular pic relating to this, if it's the moment I think, is earlier in this thread.  I'm too lazy to dig it up but it's Denisof and Marsters standing next to each other.

Edit: Googled "wesley spike angel" and it was the first pic to pop up.



Tell me this does not SCREAM Harry and Thomas.

I need to start watching Dr Who, people keep telling me good things.

And I don't see it, because he just seems too....Brit...to play All-American Harry.  No offence meant to the Brits.

I think you might be suprised by how short a lot of actors really are.

I'm not feeling it there.   Denisof looks doofy there, and Marsters doesn't look anything like Thomas to me, and this is coming from a guy who was casting the blond Green Arrow as Thomas.

[Dina]

They don't look anything like Harry and Thomas for me.

[habu987]

Eh, not in the slightest.  He doesn't look at all like what I've pictured Harry as (then again, we all picture Harry differently, as this thread is ample proof).

However, for Thomas, I believe we've got WoJ that he pictured Matt Bomer, and many of us on this thread have agreed:
