Perfect Casting, part 2

[Stantz]

I always thought it would be cool if one of denarians was cast as a polar bear.

[Jaeh]

Mostly I look at the picture that Hank posted and I'm like.
OMG who is this little girl, someone put some clothes on her. 

Sigh.. I think I got old somewhere.

I wanted to pull the shirt down.

Let's cast Tom Hanks as Harry!

[deschain19]

dakota fanning as ivy.

she may be a little old now, but she would have been perfect.

I still say Matt Bomer for Thomas... hands down! <3

YES!!!!! When Priscellie first brought it up, I wasn't sure, but then I got a closer look at him and... wow. just, wow.

Can she do a British accent without sucking? For that matter, her younger sister looks exactly like her, can she?

Dresden:
Joe Flanigan - Not as tall as Harry (but then again, who is?) but DAMN does he look the part.

I could not agree more with you about casting Joe Flanigan as Harry.  He's got the nonchalance and dead pan snark down pat, plus he definitely has that 'whumpability' that the person portraying Harry has to have.

I agreed too!  I can't believe I totally forgot about Col. Sheppard.  He really is Harry.

Gary Oldman could play all of the white male non white court roles by himself...The man is a supremely versatile actor.
He's been a russian, a police leutenant, a sci-fi villian with a western accent, a sci-fi educated villian, a dwarf, Beethoven, and it took me quite a while to recognize him in each role. 
As for the white court males-Johnny Depp... more clean cut than in Pirates...more Finding Neverland with a more modern hairstyle and mode of dress.

not to mention a world famous vampire! (the kind that doesn't sparkle like a gaudy bauble from the Liz Taylor collection. Dammit, I miss Buffy.)

The only problem would be convincing him to take the role. He likes the quirk, and honestly, the WC male vamps are more evil and stupid than evil, morally ambiguous and quirky. Except for Thomas.

I could see him as Kincaid. He'd have to go blonde, though.

mmmmm Johnny Depp.
that would work.

And, hey, it's not like he hasn't played sniper/badass/crazy-ass gunmen roles before Wasn't he in Once Upon A Time in Mexico? And he just finished playing John Dillinger!

[Vash the white]

Dude, the fight in once upon a time in mexico

(click to show/hide)

when he is blind!

could totaly see him as kincaid, he would have been a good thomas when he was younger, but now he is to old, i picture him young and pretty.

and you have all got to remeber, johnny depp is the most choicey of actors on earth!!, seriously, turned down titaninc, speed and a bunch of huge movies, he only does it if he likes the character and can seriously explore it

Annnnd since I'm too lazy to keep doing the 'quote' links, I'm just gonna type all my comments inside the quote box.

Let's see...
Harry Dresden-Nick Cage or Nathan Fillion

_{(yes please!)}

Ebenezar McCoy-Billy Connolly

_{(I can see this, actually. He was completely badass as Il Duce in The Boondock Saints)}

The Merlin-Christopher Lee

_{(either him or Sir Ian McKellan. Poor guys are getting typecast, lol.)}

Listens to Wind-Wes Studi

_{(or Chuck Norris. I'm kidding, I'm kidding But seriously, he is part Cherokee... the other part, the Irish part, might throw it off balance...)}

Martha Liberty-Marianne Jean-Baptiste

_{(have never seen her act, to my knowledge, so I sadly have no opinion here.)}

The Gatekeeper-Ghassan Massoud

_{(I'm actually very curious about this man. I have never seen him act, but I'm already partially biased because he was born in my mother and father's hometown/country. Another choice would be Oded Fehr. He played Ardeth Bay in the Mummy movies, and Zankou on the 7th season of Charmed.)}

Captain Luccio-Judi Dench

Captain Luccio 2.0-Summer Glau

_{(Until I know whether Summer Glau has an Italian heritage, I have no opinion, but Judi Dench is British. If she can effect an Italian accent, then I'll go for her.)}

Warden Morgan-Liam Neeson

_{(eh. I dunno. If he was alive and not a comedian and about two decades younger, I'd say George Carlin. But that's just me.}

Warden Ramirez-?

_{Esai Morales or Marc Consuelos. Guh. Just... guh.}

Susan Rodriguez-Salma Hayek

_{(I'd say have Valerie Cruz portray Susan, just for a kick She's already portrayed [a version] of Karrin Murphy, she might as well swing the spectrum, lol.)}

Karrin Murphy-Kathryn Morris

_{(I'm still undecided on who should play Karrin, but I do maintain that they have to be no more than 5'3", no less than 4'10", and that she needs to have martial arts/gymnastics training, but to look like the stereotypical helpless tiny blonde. Murphy in the book is the type of woman that most men will look at and dismiss, only to re-evaluate their opinion of her when she rips them another a**hole.)}

Thomas Raith-Johnny Depp

_{(I still maintain Matt Bomer for this role! It's all Priscellie's fault! http://lh3.ggpht.com/_4hFVr9y8CFA/SGqkMfLDHoI/AAAAAAAAKZI/lyWAyDaGygA/s640/MatthewBomer01.jpg)}

Lara Raith-Catherine Zeta-Jones

_{(personally... no. Jones doesn't look like she could have a seedy past as a porn star or be a succubus. Again, that's just my personal thoughts.)}

John Marcone-Gary Oldman

_{(ZOMG YESSS. I can totally see that. I <3 Gary Oldman.)}

Valkyrie Gard-Ali Larter

_{(Or Malin Ackerman. She's only 5'7" and a half, but she's about the right age I always thought that Sigrun would look.)}

Cujo Hendricks-?

_{(*sigh* I think it would take a miracle to find some giant of a muscle-bound man with red hair to portray Hendricks.)}

Michael Carpenter-Russel Crowe

_{(can't see it.)}

Charity Carpenter-Rebecca Romijn

_{(Someone mentioned Mary McCormick, actually. I rather like that idea.)}

Molly Carpenter-Laura Vandervoort

_{(Hmm. Dunno. On another note: Hey, Priscellie, wanna give it a shot?)}

Bob-Steve Buscemi

_{(Only if he does a British accent... and that's a stretch.)}

Mac-Adam Baldwin

_{(... do you wanna be the one to tell him to shave his head? )}

Sanya-Michael Clarke Duncan

_{(LOL. I don't think Sanya's quite that big. I'd love to hear him try a Russian accent, though!)}

Shiro-Ken Watanabe

_{(Mmm.... Ken's a little young to be Shiro. Shiro was an old man when we met him, remember? If he was alive, I'd say Pat Morita. You know. Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid movies?)}

Mab-Tilda Swinton (maybe a little Typecasting)

_{(It may be typecasting, but it's her fault for taking the role of the White Witch in Narnia. You hit it on the money, methinks.)}

Kincaid-Daniel Craig

_{(Amusingly enough, I had my heart set on Johnny Depp once I got the thought in my head.)}

Ivy-Dakota Fanning

_{(Well, maybe not Dakota... Dakota's a little old to be portraying a girl who is only currently (at this point in the DV) 13 years old. Maybe her sister Elle, instead?)}
