Perfect Casting, part 2

[THE_ANGRY_GAMER]

How about Jennifer Lawrence for Elaine?

[Dina]

I haven't seen acting, but she looks quite like I imagine her.

[۞†Grey Warden†۞]

I don't think she fits my mental image for acting.

[nicoleferrier]

I absolutely LOVE Nathan Fillion, but he is too broad and bulky to be Harry. He totally has the snark factor but he doesn't fit the lanky factor.

How about Brian Steele? he is actually 6'7'' and is lanky. I put Dresden hair on him in my head, I think he would work.

[Icecream]

For Harry, why don't we just take the body of Jared Padalecki (sam winchester) and swap his brain/acting skills /snark with Jensen Ackles (Dean winchester) and voila! Harry actor.
 Or maybe if you smush them together enough they'll combine and form a freakishly tall super actor.

[Priscellie]

Or maybe if you smush them together enough

The fans have tried.  *twitches*

[Quantus]

oh god, the lengths some fans go are just...twisted

[Snowleopard]

And twisted is mild compared to what some of them get up to.
(Shudders - I've been around FanATICS of several different stripes.)

[Mr. Ghostbuster]

If I had to pick, my choice for Harry would be Zachary Quinto. And I was the director, I'd definitely ask him to audition.

[Quantus]

The problem with Harry is that our image of him is dramatically skewed towards how he sees himself, which is essentially a Big Magic Nerd and kind of a softy.  The rest of the world sees him as this freaking terrifying nexus of destruction that fortunately tends to champion the weak. 

Im still stuck on Michael Fassbender as Harry.  In X-men he seemed to have the full range of what harry would need to be: coldly powerful and willing to do dark things for teh greater good, but also able to show a softer side

Forgive me for not going through the whole 352 pages of this thread but a few suggestions for some of the characters I pictured in my head when reading the books . But to add a little spice these ideas are all from my part of the world (Britain) and so maybe some will be new, so see what you think.

James Purefoy-Harry Dresden
Carey Mulligan-Karrin Murphy
Richard Armitage-Thomas Raith
Martin Sheen/Andy Serkis-Waldo Butters
Stephen Fry/Hugh Laurie-Bob the skull
Mark Strong-Nicodemus Archleone
Kate Winslet-Charity Carpenter
Jeremy Sheffield/Chris Vance-Micheal Carpenter
Rachel Hurd-Wood/Juno Temple-Molly Carpenter
Kate Beckinsale-Lara Raith
Saffron Burrows-Leanansidhe
Emily Mortimer-Elaine Mallory
Jason Isaacs-Johnny Marcone (Jason Isaacs would probably make a very good Bob too.)
Clive Owen-Jared Kincaid
Sanya-Chiwetel Ejiofor
Bernard Hill (if he could do the accent properly)-Ebenezar McCoy
Dakota Blue Richards-Lily
Justine-Imogen Poots
Ben Whishaw/James McAvoy-Toot toot
David Morrissey-Malcolm Dresden
Rufus Sewell-Madrigal Raith

and I know it doesn't strictly count, but those of you who've played the game Bayonetta will know there is a small girl character called Cereza in it (the cutest kid ever by the way) who is always in my mind when thinking of The Archive.   

[Kathryn Rose]

How did James Marsters not make this list?

[DeaSis]

How did James Marsters not make this list?

*points up*  yeah!  What she said.  :-)

[tuttman1234]

Put Marsters down for the Erlking

[Quantus]

How did James Marsters not make this list?

Ive been thinking he'd make a great Nicodemus
