Perfect Casting, part 2

[DragonEyes]

Nah, Lanktry has to be an incarnate @$$hole, skinny and possessed of a barely concealed disdain. 

To me that screams Hugh Laurie:

I can certainly see the disdain.

[Kael Tucker]

I stand corrected, and bow to the Idea I should have had... To be honest, I threw it in to make a third choice... But I still hold to Micheal or Morgan... I think liam would do Justice to both roles

[Quantus]

Liam Neeson would work great for Michael, but morgan needs to be a little more irrationally bitter, nearly (and literally) frothing at the mouth now and then.  Jim's comment of Clancy Brown works great for me, though I could see Denis Leary or a few others pulling it off as well.

Harry? Lee Pace or Joe Flanigan for looks, no question... though Nathan Fillion's personality is PERFECT, lol. 

I can't NOT think of Krista Allen whenever Lara Wraith is on the page...yowza... and someone else mentioned Brad Pitt for Thomas...but of course! Though Matt Bomer would work too.

Neal McDonough is stuck in my head as Morgan, even though he doesn't quite match the description...sometimes my brain refuses to agree with what's on the page, haha.

Karrin - I have a sort of miniature Jennifer Esposito with blue eyes in my head when I picture Murphy. 

Eva Mendes was my Susan...

and Sigourney Weaver (a'la Ghostbusters, all possessed) is my Leaninsidhe!

Joe Mangianello would be a great Michael. sigh.

Amber Tamblyn with blond hair is how I imagine Molly (again, I KNOW, not really a fit, based on the description, but the heart wants what it wants, lol)

I'd peg Neil McDonough as Michael, actually.  I can see him doing the soft-spoken, righteous warrior bit, but he'd have to seriously bulk up, which might be a deal breaker.

I always see Michael as being a big guy.  Tall, fair skinned with big muscles... Of course, he does wear a suit of half-plate, and that would make him look bigger.

I don't seriously see Sigourney a s Lea.  Lea is fair-skinned with flaming-red hair.  I can't hear her as Lea either.

When I think of Molly, I see Ferusa Balk in The Craft -- without a lot of the attitude, though she came awfully close in GS...  But the look is almost perfect.  That said, The Craft was made a long time ago, and there's no way Ferusa could do molly now...

Personally, I like Charles Dance for Langtry.


Also, what about Javier Bardem as Duke Ortega?

Never heard of Charles Dance, though I'm going to guess that he played Monte in The Golden Child...

what about Gary Oldman for Ortega?  He plays such a good bad guy... he might make a better Nicodemus.

[۞†Grey Warden†۞]

I would be ok with Gary Oldman as Nic. If I didn't like Jeffery Donovan for it so much.

Awesome choice. And if we want to go all Game of Thrones on this, then we could always get Kit Harrington for Harry, Iain Glen for Morgan, Nickolaj Waldau for Thomas, Lena Heady for Lara, Ron Donachie for Mac, and Emilia Clarke for Molly.

I don't see it.  I'll have to stick with Gary Oldman; I love how he plays a villain.

[Quantus]

Bardem seems just too old for what a nigh immortal conquistador would chose to look like, though he fits the personality well enough. 

"He was of average height and slightly heavy build, with broad shoulders and a deep chest. He was dark-complected, his black hair neatly brushed, his grey-and-silver suit stylish and tasteful.

Id go with Edward James Olmos

[DeaSis]

This is one of my all time favorite threads.  It makes me smile every time I see a new post and we have a new actor to type cast and chew over in Dresden's world.

*tilts head*  In my head I can just imagine Bob chortling over our choices...

I agree, at least Ortega has to be spanish in apearance... Olmos is Good, Or Antonio Banderas

[۞†Grey Warden†۞]

I demand that I be cast as the voice of bob and Duckie be cast as the voice of Mab.

[MagusLucius]

A short list for Sanya: (in order of preference, but I'm willing to consider additions.)

Chiwetel Ejiofor
Aldis Hodge
Don Cheadle
Jamie Foxx
Cuba Gooding Jr.  -- truthfully, I'm not really seeing this one.

And Shiro;  I would say Mako, if he weren't dead -- which leaves me with only one real option: Ken Watanabe (Though I don't know if he's old enough, and Shiro was supposed to be rather short.)
