Ha this, is someone else watching Smallville just like I am?  I cam on here specifically to post the Justin hartley has enough snark to pull off Harry and I see this post.  Fantastic!  James Marsters is also in Smallville and if they cast him as Harry I would be happy as well.

Actually, was just satisyfying a momentary thought that Allison Mack would make a good Murphy, and came across the Ollie/Chloe captures.

Currently I'm rewatching White Collar, and casting from the show.

Matt Bomer = Thomas Raith


Willie Garson = Waldo Butters


Marsha Thomason = Tara


Gloria Votsis = Susan


Tim DeKay = Agent Denton  (pure type-casting, but what the hey)

I approve the male cast, but not the female. Eh, would you wanted to say Lara or Tera?

As much as I like Nathan Fillion I've always pictured Harry looking more like one of hosts of Property Brothers(a Canadian home improvement show).
I don't think they act, but they make up for it by being tall and always looking kind of sarcastic.

Hugh Jackman has the hawk-like features for Harry, but he's too short to play him.  All the actors I'm thinking of maybe too short.  The actor I'm thinking of whose name I don't know played Gambit in Wolverine's movie, he also stars in Friday Night Lights.  He has the intensity to play Harry, and, I hope, the humor.

Actually, Hugh Jackman is a tall man.  I think FX/makeup could cover the difference. There are no many actors who really are Basketball player size  :)

They would have to dig a BF hold and put Murphy in it to get the eye line straight or build big expensive sets to get the false perspective a la Lord of the Rings.
