Not thaaat much.  I mean, she isnt exactly a deep character for the most part.  I dont think "over-the-top Kinktress" would require an Oscar performance

It still requires more than she can do. I went to see Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart brought the whole thing down.

The sheer idiocy of a statement like that is enough to rupture a blood vessel in a reasonable person's brain.

That movie was hardly a stellar example of Chris Hemsworth's acting abilities either.  My favorite was Bob Hoskins.

Its generally a bad sign for a Snow White movie if you go into it rooting for the queen over SW.

Geoff Stults for Harry Dresden
He is 6, 4

He hasn't been in anything that I would have come within a mile of, so I can't really say.  Lately, however, I've started thinking about Ben Browder.

I really like Ben Browder, but I dont see him as having the right level of Personally Intimidating Presence that Harry has.  Or the same level of barely controlled Rage seething beneath the surface

I think he could do it.  I really do.  He has the snark for it, from what I remember of Farscape...

Oh he definately has the snark.  Its the Power and Rage that I didnt see too much in Farscape, or Stargate.

Well... That's why they call it acting.  Plus, I can see him dressed like Harry, wearing a beat-up old duster and wondering what people have against his wardrobe...

You miss my point.  He tried for rage a number of times, he just didnt pull it off to the level that harry would regularly need
