Perfect Casting, part 2

[MoSeS]

Although, Alexis Denisof is perfect for Dresden and I'm glad Jim picked him, my second choice for Dresden would be Michael Weatherly. The guy is hilarious if you've ever watched NCIS, and he does tend to tower over his fellow castmates because he's 6'2.  

I am not familiar with this actor, but he also looks kind of too pretty/clean cut for Harry. Maybe another Thomas candidate. I would have to see this guy with some facial hair maybe.

I agree with Denisof for Harry because he is handsome but not really pretty IMO.

A picture with more facial hair...

I'm looking for an actress to play Murphy, but no one really fits into the ideal image...


I like Morena Baccarin as Bianca. She can do a totally alien role because she's always played rather off character and recently played the leader of the aliens in V/

[Warden John Marcone]

Seconded.

And Michael Weatherly was able to do the serious role too, as the "Eyes Only" dude from Dark Angel.

I had forgotten about Dark Angel.

For some reason, I see Mia Wasikowska as what Ivy would look like in the second half of the series.

Sure, except Mia Wasikowska is 20 years old and Ivy is 7, and I realize you said second half of series, but it's still not a logical choice considering the huge age difference.

Ivy is roughly twelve by Small Favors, she is introduced as being 7

I would like to see Christian Kane as Kincaid, but isn't Kincaid blonde in the books?

You are correct, I still think it's a huge age gap though. A 20 year old playing a 7 year old circa Death Mask or even a 12 year old circa Small Favors.

Now if we aren't doing realistic casting, for example time traveling, then yeah I would say she has the look.

But in reality if the casted the movies right now Mia Wasikowska would be way too old.

Now Chloe Moretz on the other hand is 13 right now (vs Mia @20) and would make a perfect Ivy. Granted it's still cutting it close at this point.

Another good suggestion earlier in this thread was Morgan Lily age 10.

He could die his hair, but I don't really get the "Hellhound" vibe from this guy anyhow.

I picked Kane because on Leverage, he's the 'Hitter', sort of a mercenary-for-hire. So I thought he could pull off Kincaid's role.

That makes sense.

However, Timothy Olyphant also played a "Hitman" and most of us still regret that.

My choice is Alexander Skarsgard, he is awesome on True Blood. And I didn't watch Generation Kill, but he was apparently awesome on that show as well.

Haha, I remember Hitman. That was terrible. 

Skarsgard does sort of look like the ideal image of Kincaid. He's got the blonde hair and everything, don't watch much true blood, though...

Everyone that reads Dresden Files would probably like True Blood, it's got vamps (not the sparkly kind), and shifters, werewolves, etc. Great show IMO, it's better than the Dresden Files TV show.

*albeit I never read the Sookie Stackhouse novels, and I read Dresden Files way before seeing the TV show.

Come to think of it, I think Charmed and Buffy were also better shows.

Also, one of the Sookie Stackhouse novels makes an oblique reference to Harry, I believe
