Wow, that's almost exactly what I see in my head when I think of Hendricks. If his facial hair was less perfectly groomed and more perma-stubble, that'd be perfect!

So if not Matt Bomer, Kyle Schmid for Thomas?

Mmmmmm, pretty!  (I'd need to see his acting before I confirmed, but... yeah, pretty.)

He's on the North American Being Human on Syfy.  He plays a vampire (blood sucking kind).  He's got shorter hair on the show, but he's kind of pale, and something about him in tonight's episode made me think of Thomas.  And then I found the picture with the longer hair.  If it were black, it'd be exactly how I imagine Thomas' hair.

I need to catch up on that series. I was disappointed in what happened with the BBC version, so I kind of forgot about the American version.

It looks pretty dark in this image:


Yeah, he could be a good fit. I'll definitely catch up with Being Human so I can see what sort of presence he has.

I just read through Ghost Story again, (In one sitting - Work is THAT slow today,) and during the scenes with Uriel for some reason I couldn't get Owen Wilson out of my head for the part.  Weird.  (I also had a moment with Sam Rockwell as Uriel, but the description paints him as more 'down home,' and I had Iron Man 2 Rockwell, which didn't work.

Also: Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas would be very interesting.

I think tom hiddleston would be really good for Nicodemus. Just imagine him in Small Favors at the Aquarium

You say that like I haven't already gotten Nic picked out.  ;)
It's Jeffery Donovan.
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

I picture Nicodemus a little older, more like a Robert Knepper.  I like Jeffery Donovan, and I think I know what made you think of him for Nic (Burn Notice where he played El Diablo?)

That is exactly what made me think of it Griff. I always thought of him as 30-40's

My problem with Donovan as Nic is that his posture is so rigid.  I've never seen him lounge.  And I picture Nic as more of a casual power as opposed to a physical power.  I don't seem him standing at attention, like Donovan does on BN.  But I've never seen him in anything else, and maybe that's just a character trait he portrays really well.

Maybe, I do like your choice though.
I don't see him as too old, but as still virile.

Catching up on Being Human, and I do like Kyle Schmid. He's got the look and the potential for the presence. Benedict Cumberbatch has a voice like no other, though.

Also, on Being Human, this Dusan Dukic, playing the Reaper? He's amazing. Not sure yet who I would cast him as but... You know, he'd have the potential to play Harry, or Thomas, or Uriel, and probably any number of other roles. He's got these great, angular features and a lot of power in his presence. I'll need to see if he's done anything else.

Its a shame there aren't more male Fae characters.  I could see Dusan Dukic playing a haughty Sidhe.  Maybe Madrigal as a cocky Crane, but after he's outed as a Wamp, he gets sort of wussy.

Maybe cast him, with a lot of special effects, to be the Erl King.  He could make a good goblin king I suppose.
