Ryan Renolds is listed twice.

Also I nominate Chris Evans. Normally I think he's a little too tounge in cheek for some of the roles he takes but thats kind of fitting for Harry. Plus seeing as he's already played the Human Torch he knows how to play with fire. and in the movie Push he did pretty good with blocking bullets with a mental shield.

I don't watch Stargate so Joe Flanigan didn't make my list. Though he has been suggested many many times. Maybe he could pull it off, he has a good look, but I really am not familiar with him. But I probably rather have him then some of the people I put on the list. However I was building the list based off of other threads and how often these actors were suggested.

Personally I originally want Clive Owen but someone pointed out he is too old for the early Harry, then I saw Zachary Quinto and I think he could pull it off, hell he already had a ton of powers in Heroes so it wouldn't even be much of a change for him.

I fixed the list, had Renolds twice and meant to put Fillion, didn't watch Firefly but I saw Serenity, I think he would be ok. I think he would make a better Michael Carpenter though.

I can't believe Olyphant is winning right now. I use to like him especially as Simon in "GO", but after I saw the Hitman......I just don't know anymore, that movie was ubber lame. Though he was decent in "Live Free, Die Hard."

What the hey I'll throw Joe on there too, I think he has a good chance to win.

And Chris Evans, I liked "Push" (why I cast D. Fanning as Molly). Did you know Chris Evans is up for the role of Captain America? Weird since he was already a Marvel character, The Human Torch.

mebbe I've been watching too much supernatural, but I think Misha Collins could pull it off. He's got the whole sharp/angular face going on... plus he's hilarious.

It's actually been confirmed, he has been signed on as Cap.  Also Hugo Weaving will be playing the Red Skull.

Oooo, I like Lee Pace for it! He's got that strange humor down pat. My second choice (if there were multiples) would be Joe Flanigan.

I really like Lee Pace too but I voted for Zach because he is popular right now (because he is Spock and Sylar, two pretty awesome characters).

I wish I could change my vote to Lee Pace though he does have the strange humor.

For those of you who have never seen Pushing Daisies, you should check it out if you get a chance, he MAGICALLY thouches people back to life and works with a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR solving mysterious deaths. Does that remind you of anyone?

And while Clive is 45, and Joe is 43, Lee is only 31 and shaven he looks like he is in his mid-twenties. Could definitely pull off young Harry right now.

Yes I think he is perfect the more I think about it. (I am probably thinking about it way too much though)

Can you actually change it on the poll? is that possible?

Lee Pace looks too "sexy" and small for me. If they could get Bruce Campbell from 10-15 years ago I'd go for that.

Im not sure if you can change your vote or vote more than once it doesnt give me the option. Or I'm just not seeing the where the option is.

Also if you want to see a really good short lived TV show with Lee Pace check out Wonderfalls

Lee Pace is too small !?!?! He is 6'3"
Too sexy.....maybe. I think he would be appropriately attractive to play Harry.
I do love "Army of Darkness Bruce Campbell" though.

In the pics I see he looks small. Maybe it's the facial features.
