If its people we love to hate, Im sure we can fit James Callis is there somewhere...Maybe Grevaine?


He's not intimidating in the slightest to me.  So I'd have a hard time with him being a serious bad guy.  Nico and Cowl wouldn't work.

I could see him being Grevaine, as you said.  Or maybe Gregori Cristos if he's just a patsy and nothing more.  Maybe even Madrigal Raith.  You know, bad guys that you don't take too seriously, but still have some weight to the character that need good casting.

Oooh  Cristos could work.. I could see him posturing on a stage while all his peers secretly hope he dies a violent death :p

I've said this before, but Leven Rambin would make an AWESOME Molly:





Also, two possible Kincaids:
Reed Diamond - played Dominic in Dollhouse, and I think he could definitely do Kincaid


Or a little bit of a left-field one, but he's definitely got the acting chops: Neil Patrick Harris

Actually, scratch that, if NPH can't be Kincaid, he'd make an AMAZING Uriel.

I don't think so.
From the description when Harry first meets Uriel.
Uriel has dark skin.  NPH is not dark.

Ok, Reed Diamond = Kincaid is definitely something I can get behind. That would be all kinds of awesome.

Uriel changes his appearance several times. The first time they meet he's a dark-skinned old janitor with silver hair.

But in Changes he's got messy blonde hair and high cheekbones. I think he's described as having the appearance of a fairly young man though, so I dunno if NPH would work.

When Uriel first appears, he's a black janitor at the hospital named Jake.  Casting obvious.

How about Joseph Gordon Levitt for Butters?
He can do both silly and serious and has turned into
one very good actor.

I agree, he is a good actor, but He is really young. and besides I always imagine butters as an older version of the kid from southpark with the same name. which makes it very hard to imagine a "real world face" on him when i read the books. But I would like to see someone with the ability to pull off the same kwirky personality, and overall weariness. I have no suggestions as to who yet, but I am getting there

Wow Angry gamer, Good call. Though Reed fits the type well, I think I would love the Universe that NPH was a demonic, vampire hunting, mercenary protector.  If nothing else, the entertainment value alone would be enough to get me to watch. 

A couple thoughts of my own

Nicodemous- Tim Curry

Quintus Cassius(Saluriel)- Crispen Glover

'twould indeed be amazing. Personally, I always imagined Nic as Benedict Cumberbatch - he can REALLY do the cold, I-don't-care-about-you-as-more-than-a-means-to-an-end thing that Nic does.

Good Cassius, but from the pictures I found on Google, he might make a good Marcone.

Mark Hamill should have a role somewhere - either as Bob, or the Skinwalker (or maybe even Cowl!)

Another one I've said before: Eva Greene as Lara Raith


And Miranda Otto as Charity:

So... I haven't been on this site for a while, but did I miss something here?  Is there actually going to be a movie?  And are we seriously brainstorming about who to cast???

If so, Nathan Fillion as Dresden - it must be.

And holy shit, if there is ever a casting I am there!
