Isnt mac described as somewhat skinny? I tend to picture somebody more like Jason Statham, or maybe a young Terry O'Quinn
I think so. And Statham might work. But I always thought of Statham-with-hair as Kincaid.
But I think my problem is, when I first read SF, the mailman immediately reminded me of Chiklis. So he was in my head when I was introduced to Mac. And Chiklis played Mackey on
The Shield. That, combined with the grunts, eyebrow lifts, and silent communication, permanently fixed Chiklis as my Mac. That, and it seems like the guy hasn't aged in the last 20 years. He looks the same, plus a few wrinkles.
Of course, all my casting choices would have been for a series starting back in 2007, so most of my choices now don't work age-wise.
Agreed. I've seen Chiklis as Mac since the first time I came across him in one of the books. Cambell should still be in there somewhere for a different role even though I'm blanking on which one right now.
It's hard for me to imagine Campbell as anyone in the Dresdenverse. Honestly, he's got to much snark and attitude to be anyone but Harry, and he can't be Harry. Maybe a future character will fit.
