Hubby is just like that. A new hairstyle, a beard, and he didn't recognize the people...until they talk. I am totally visual.

Yep. I've not recognized actresses just because they changed thier hair style/color.

Hey guys, I posted a long-ass time ago with a casting choice for Morgan (WWE's The Undertaker I recall) but I thought of some new ones. Warning, these may have been said before its a huge thread

Bob the skull: Just let James Marsters do it, he loves the character anyway. :D
Eb McCoy: You say Tommy Lee Jones and I raise you Sam Elliot.

You say Sam Elliot and I say ... well.... I don't remember the guys name, but the guy who played Gimli.

John Rhys Davis?  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722636/

Yes!!! 

In my head (because it was my head and I could do it that way if I wanted to) I put Uncle Jessie from The Dukes of Hazard in that role.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0701500/  IMDB says that Denver Pyle died in 1997.  What I liked about him was that he seemed the slow to speak, slow to become angry - but watch out when he did - type.

I hadn't found anyone I liked as well as that until this moment.  THAT, is excellent casting.  He is deep barreled, dignified... able to convey power.  Now the question is, can he do an Uncle Jessie impression?

Yes!!! I could not for the life of me remember his name. But it's his voice I hear in my head whenever I'm reading DF and Eb is talking. That probably doesn't exactly say great things about my mental state, but I'm ok with that.

Eb will forever be, at least in my mind, Wilford Brimley.

If he can be fierce, he would be entirely acceptable.  He's closer to Uncle Jesse in looks - but I'm not at all frightened of Wilford.  Can he truly be the black staff?

213 pages. Not ONE mention of Ian Somerhalder anywhere.

You know, I like many others scoffed at Paul Blackthorne for the role of Harry.  The TV show had biased me with all the ways it was NOT the same as the books.  But having seen more of him in the new Arrow tv show, Im starting to think he was a really good choice.  There arent many who can pull off the perfect balance of Tired, Snarky, with an undercurrent of barely contained Rage, but he does it rather well.

I didn't read many complaints. I am one of many who thinks he was a great choice.

Could be just me then, I havent actually read through the thread in a good long while.  And like I said it was all bias against the TV show for not being more faithful to the books.  I notice he isnt even an option on the poll though

That is true, I complained about that many pages ago.
