I just had a thought.  How about Patrick Stewart as Langtry?  Capt. Picard as a badguy?

Already been suggested, and the RPG does depict him as bald. I prefer Bill Nighy for the role, though.

I think Hugh Laurie could make a good Nicodemous. If I would be willing to see a little older.

My number one choice for that is still Jeffery Donovan.

Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

Which is weird, because the book clearly describes Langtry as having the traditional wizard look, with flowing white hair.

I've always pictured Hugh Laurie as Grevane.

I like Jeffery Donovan as Nicodemus. He's got the chops and can definitely pull off "menacing bad guy".

As I've said many times, Benedict Cumberbatch IS Nicodemus for me - he's got that cold, calculating vibe down pat in Sherlock - he'd just have to be a little politer, and if his reported role in Star Trek 2 or whatever they're calling it is correct, he can do action as well.

Having watched The Hunger Games, I'd say Donald Sutherland would make a good Ebenezar or Langtry, and the guy who plays Haymitch could easily do Kinkaid, although I think he might even make a good Harry. This gets a bit weird when one considers Leven Rambin for molly, but I'm standing by that one.

I found Molly.  As is so often the case, she is hiding in a waterfront town working as the hostess at a restaurant.  I took one look and said to my wife, "Molly?"  It took a second for her to figure out what I meant, but she agreed completely once she did.

New suggestion for Morgan:



No problem picturing Sean Bean as a sword-wielding badass.

Yeah, but not for a few seasons/movies; considering the length of each book, I'd do shorter seasons, each covering 3 books - 1st SF, FM, GP, 2nd SK, DM, BR, 3rd DB, PG, WN, 4th SmF, TC, Changes (those last 100 pages, from when they go to chicken pizza, would make a HELL of a season finale), continuing on. Thus, 4 seasons 'til Morgan dies.

Also, Morgan becomes, if possible, MORE awesome and threatening if you read his dialogue in Sean Bean's voice.

I'm still going with Clancy Brown. Because KURGAN. And I'm sorry, but Clancy's voice is way more threatening than Sean Bean's
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.
