Agreed.  I still say Hugh Laurie is perfect for Langtry.  Bruce Willis might make a good Mac, though he is aging out of the Indeterminate Middle Years timelessness that Mac is supposed to have.

Yes, I like both of those.

I could TOTALLY see David Tennant as Peabody.

I could get behind that.  He can do the full gambit from calm and collected to batshit crazy, and is emaciated enough


just saw the new Man of Steel trailer, and Im starting to lean toward Russel Crowe for Michael

No, I don't think so.  Crowe has too knowing a look on his face.
I had a thought - what about David Wenham for Michael?
(Faramir in Lord of the Rings.)  There's an innocence to his face.

I aggree, but I dont see that as a bad thign for Michael.  Michael is a guy that has been fighting evil for decades, and seen some of the worst the iuniverse has to offer, but can still smile and enjoy simple times with his family.  Crowe I think can bring that kind of depth to the role, without it turning into weight.  if that makes any sense at all...

I just had an odd thought for Nicodemus Archleone.

How about Charlie Sheen?  He can play the laid back rich guy.  He's good at acting a bit crazy.  And wouldn't we all love to see him get strangled a bit with his noose?

He looks a little too worn out and weathered these days.  Burned out might be a better phrase.  If he wasnt locked in a permanent sleeze-ball persona Id say he might be ok for Nick Angel or something, but...

I'm with Chiana - ABSOLUTELY NO CHARLIE SHEEN.
He's a train wreck waiting to happen.

Heard an actor mentioned in another thread and immediately thought:

Alan Rickman as Langtry.

So I was watching Big Fish last night and it hit me that 10 years ago, Billy Crudup would have been the perfect Harry Dresden:



Looks just like the book cover model, and his personality seems like a good match.
