He could definitely do the shyster bit pretty well.   I had pictured somebody more like Pruitt Taylor Vince or Mike McShane

I recognize the first one from the Pilot episode of Touching Evil.  Which has me thinking that Jeffrey Donovan could make a good Sir Stuart... But he might be better as Kincaid...

Now Chris Hemsworth as Sir Stuart...  That I could see. "He frowned for a moment as if in thought. It didn't look natural on him."

Ok, a plus for "Mozzie" playing Mortimer... To me Butters is still David Tennant, or at least in the movie in my mind... Especially when you think about the fact of

. Donovan is a good choice for Kincade, I would hope that he would play a part so close to Westen again.

I just can't see him screaming "Polka will never die!"

In that case, I really recommend you see 10 Things I Hate About You. XD

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.

That's why I was having so much trouble with him.

Don't think so. -- As it turns out, I have, but I didn't pay much attention to the Other Harry Movies... The books were better.

I just thought of this: Brian Dietzen for Butters (Might just be the fact that I've already seen him play a nerdy M.E.)

I just cannot see Charlize Theron as Mab.  Her bearing is all wrong.

I have always pictured Butters as a Gene Kelly sort...

Not so much helmet haired, of course.

The picture looks like Harry's stage magician dad from the TV show.

I dunno; she seems to be able to play ice queen pretty well.
