I thought of this the other day, and I think this would have been perfect casting for Revisionist 2007.

Adrian Paul = Michael Carpenter
 + We know he can convincingly hold a sword
 + He has experience in scfi/fantasy genre
 - His height is listed at 6'.  Not sure if this is typical Hollywood stretch to 6', or real, but I think Michael is supposed to be almost as tall as Dresden.

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

Ive seen a photo of Priscilla... and in a most non-creepy way I find her very attractive. But I am guessing you just threw a name out and meant nothing by that..... yea I am just going to move on.

I was referring to the character in White Night. Priscilla. The name used by the Skavis phage in drag. Hence why I was talking about the Skavis.


This exchange cracked me up.  :D

It is quite funny isn't it.

 I know Priscilla personally the pictures do NOT do her justice. Unattractive is not a word I would associate with her ever. For those who don't know she is OMG tall as well.

I miss you already 'Cellie thanks for all the great times and people you introduced me to it's been a heck of a ride :)

Ah, thanks! I knew that, but the reference to the people that she had introduced Whingnut confused me.

Sean Connery would make an awesome Eb.

I wouldn't be totally against that, but Eb is only supposed to slip into a Scottish accent when he's annoyed; most of the time he's supposed to sound like he's from the Ozarks, since he's lived there for decades. Connery has shown himself to be pretty much incapable of speaking in anything but a Scottish accent. I still say Jeff Bridges for Eb.

Guy who played captain america for Michael
Meh. He's too baby-faced. (He was too baby-faced for Captain America, too.) He's a decent actor, but not stellar enough to make up for not looking the part.

You know, I still think Captian Tight-pants is still the pick for Harry, but ...

I've been rewatching Babylon 5 over the last month or so, and I've come to the decision that Jerry Doyle (Michale Garabaldi) would be a good fit too.  No he doesn't LOOK the part, but he sure can play the smart-assed PI well.

At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

I love Jerry Doyle - he's a hoot and a half.
