LOL. I think Hopkins is pure genius in a regular basis. He is just too old for my vision of Nic.

Jonathan Goldsmith = Ferrovax

He once threatened to burn down a village... and the villagers did it themselves to save him the trouble.

When he kidnaps a princess, she tells the knight that tries to rescue her to bugger off.

The Winter Queen comes to him for advice on how to stay cool.

He can bring one of the world's most powerful wizards to his knees... with only two names and very little effort.

He is... the most interesting dragon in the world.

I don't always attend parties, but when I do, I prefer expensive baubles.  Stay Ferro, my friends.

I don't have the time or inclination to read 307 pages of posts, so this may be repetitive. Lucas Bryant from the SyFy network show Haven is Harry.

Can I 'Iy' my own casting?  If so, Iy.

See, I war with myself over this.  I think he has the lean look that would match Harry, and maybe a little stubble could make him look a little rougher.  But, and this may be nit-picking, I feel like his eyes are too soft and watery.  He always looks like he's about to cry, at least on Haven. 

I think Eric Balfour from Haven is closer to my image of a rougher, edgier Dresden.  But he's got way too much muscle.  But the nose, chin, stubble, hair, and height work.

In another time/space/dimension/thread somebody had Lucas as Harry.

How about Hal Ozsan as Thomas?

Probably a bit too small but from the looks, it's definitely him!

I like Lucas for Harry, even when I think Paul Blackthorne was an excellent choice. I have a new one, he is an Argentinian musician called Diego Frenkel

Maybe he could be a good Justin, I don't remember his description. But I think Harry looks like a villain (to be sure, I'm not sure he isn't a villain)
