Yep James has to have a place somewhere preferably in a recurring role. My vote would be Bob considering how well he portrays him in the audiobooks.

He certainly could do it, but I think Mark Hamill would make an AWESOME Bob, although it might make all the Star Wars references a little weird.

Forgive my ignorance but can Mark Hamill do an English accent? I'm sure he could but... Bob without an English accent, well I can't imagine it.

Those of us who have never watched the TV show don't have that issue. ;)

Never seen the TV show I was referring to James Marsters affecting an English accent for his portrayal of Bob in the audiobooks. ;)

Oooops!  My bad!  (I've never listened to the audio books, either - I don't have the patience to listen to someone else read me a story, I'd rather read it myself.)

No worries Lash. I like to do both, to read myself and to listen to the audio. Each is a completely different experience yet equally enjoyable.

They are great for road trips.  And you really shouldn't be reading while driving;  shame on you!   ;)

Never tried reading while driving.  This is multi-tasking to a level that is beyond my skills!   :P

(But I did try listening to an audio book while driving once.  I found my mind wandered and I missed large pieces of the story.  And not because the story wasn't interesting, I borrowed the book from the library later and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I'm not a listener I suppose.)

Tonight I was watching an old episode of Leverage, and there was a guest star  I caught a glimpse of, and thought, "He would make a good Harry."  Then I had to laugh because I realized it was the guy who played Harry in the television show.   D'oh!   :)

That's hilarious!

Which I thought was pretty good.

Also, I cast myself as a young Harry.
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.
