Campbell is 6'1", which is relatively tall for the standard actor.

Definitely!

However I was thinking more along the lines of an actual possibility, Bruce is a little old and I don't want to divert too far from real potentials because if we start resurrecting actors and reversing ages we will get suggestions like Humphrey Bogart, Vincent Price, or Clint Eastwood.

Theoretically if time were no issue, sure I would nominate Bruce.

Weird. The poll says that I voted for Zach Quinto. It's lies! By my count Lee should be at 3 or 4.

Someone mentioned it, and I am stuck on my vote for Other - Neil Flynn.

I have to draw the line somewhere.

Neil Flynn is not making the poll, I loved Scrubs and all, but this guy is way too goofy to play Harry Dresden.

How many of the books have you read?!?

I have read all of them, but take away the goofy. 

You dont have to put it up there, as its my suggestion.  I can really see it though, as said without the goofy.

Whoa! Calm down, I am not saying your suggestion is goofy. IMO that actor is goofy, no need to get defensive buddy, just my opinion. If anyone has ever seen Scrubs I think they would agree, unless we are talking about a different Neil Flynn. Am I talking about the same Neil Flynn?

yeah - sorry man - I typed quickly not really reading.  I did not take no offense.  I was thinking ok, take Neil Flynn - but minus the goofiness from scrubs.

I think he could pull off the Sarcastic sense of humor, and the look. 

We are talking about the same Neil Flynn. 

I apologize for my last post - this one was deff more thought out.

Neil Flynn has a life outside of Scrubs. He's been on Last Comic Standing and about a dozen movies, including the last Indiana Jones. However, he looks like he's a bit too old.

That seems like a reasonable argument. I guess we should leave it to the voters to decide, so I will add Neil Flynn up there since I have seen him suggested on other threads too.

Also I didn't mean for the "how many of the books have you read" question to sound like an insult, it was an honest question, many people have made suggestions based off only reading the first couple of books, and IMO if you haven't read all them you wouldn't be able to picture the difference in Harry from the first book to the 12th book. And none of us know what Harry will be like by book 24, except maybe Jim Butcher.

Spread the poll around too. We only have 15 votes. I think we should at least get 100 votes.
