Man. I love Ibarra's photography. He's also got some up on 500 px and you can check out his website. There is a lot of crossover between the three, but a least some unique pics on all of them.

I Just had a very random and clever thought.... How about David Tennant As Waldo Butters.
( Yes... Doctor Who). I have recently Listened to a couple of audio books where he did an accent that would be passable as american.... But then again I probably wouldn't care if he kept his own.

Forget the fact that he would be playing a medical examiner who can't help but be honest.... I burst into laughter every time I imagine him screaming " POLKA WILL NEVER DIE "

I never thought of him as Butters but I think that just might work.

I could see it.  How does he do with borderline sniveling cowardice?

He could do it, but I think he might do well as a villain. Maybe Justin.

If he can do villain, he has the slightly gaunt look I always pictured for Nicodemus.

He can do villain, but he's a little to good at sarcastic for Nic, I think. I could see him for Binder, maybe, as a villain.

How about Johnny Lee Miller (from Elementary) as Harry Dresden?  ....only if he could hide his accent, of course.

He hid it well enough back in the day when he starred in Hackers, so he could probably pull it off.  But he doesnt really fit for me, Harry is described as more angular than that.

Johnny Lee Miller seems to be exactly the right look, to me, from looking at the covers of the novels, and the first graphic novel.  I like him on Elementary.

OK, I was thinking how he looked in Hackers and the random bit parts he's had since then.  But I found this pic of him, and I gotta say you are right he fits the bill:

If Eva Green can manage a flawless British Accent, and Hugh Laurie can make Americans think he's one of them, then accent is no problem.

Well while we are on the subject of actors who hide their accent well, Gary Oldman is a perfect example. For years He was working in Hollywood and I had no Idea he was british. Andrew Lincoln, Plays Rick Grimes on the "Walking Dead". And Just about Every man from the south in "True Blood" Also Britts. the only Guy who is actually from Louisiana in that show Is Eric, ( the vampire viking)
(sorry, tired and not googling all their names)

   Speaking of Oldman, Throw a dart and hit a villian he can do it, But I would love to see him play the good father Forthill
