Especially in the first season when their opposite views on the sanctity of the Law could be fun to play with.

Maybe we need a fantasy crossover thread...

Yes. Lance was Murphy alike, so it would be very funny.

Just saw Jim at Faeriecon this weekend & he answered that his perfect casting for Harry would be Fassbender or Hiddleston.  Either could also be Thomas.    I hadn't thought of those two, but knowing Jim's preference puts them in a whole new light ha ha. :)

AHA!!  Ive been pushing Fassbender for a while now, glad Im not the only one.  Also good because Jim used to say Alexis Denisof for Harry, and I was never able to get behind that one (probably the buffy influence).

Yeah, Alexis Denisof tends to sort of project this vibe of covering up some bone-deep social insecurity with loads of false confidence. I don't really picture Harry as being quite so... so... smarmy? Is that the word I'm looking for?

I can't see Fassbender or Hiddleston as Harry or Thomas  :(. I think those actors are great, but they don't look like nothing of what I imagine.

Warning: RANT.
I just saw there is a "perfect casting part 3" thread. I am upset. I consider it superfluous and, frankly, quite rude to all people posting here. And given the problem with the poster who was claiming for a new thread, I see it as a hit in the face.  I would have said this in that thread, but I don't really want to participate in it, so this is the next best thing.

Didn't intend it that way.  I was new to this forum when I started it, and there hadn't been any new posts on this one for a long time when I did.  I do apologize.

I think Fassbender might be my favorite actor of the moment.  I thought he was great in X-Men First Class and Prometheus.  I had a hard time picturing him as Harry, but that was because I was so used to him being a blonde.  But with dark hair, his height, at 6', would be the only limiting factor to me.  I know JB has said a young Harrison Ford in the past would be ideal for Harry, and Ford was only ever 6'1".  So height doesn't seem to be the limiting factor to JB that it is to a lot of us.  But at a Hollywood 6', Fassbender might be 5'10" or 11", plus heals.

So... Harry?


Or Thomas?  With Hamm as his father, Lord Raith?



Kincaid?


Nicodemus?


Marcone?


Michael?


Ferrovax?


Chauncy?

Er, not to be, not sure what to call it, but in my opinion all those guys
look pretty much alike when you break it down to basics.

I do like the guy for Ferrovax.
And I think Nicodemus should be an older man.

Hollywood can do wonders with camera angles and shots to make someone appear much taller (or shorter) than they actually are, so I wouldn't worry too much about height. Other than that, I'm with Snowleopard: I'm not sure I'd be able to tell them apart.....

They are all the same.
I would accept him as Kinkaid, Lord Raith and even Nicodemus. Too beautiful for Harry, not so beautiful for Thomas, not so nice for Michael. The others, meh.
