Perfect Casting, part 2

[MoSeS]

Y'know now that Fillion seems to have dominated the Dresden poll maybe we should do a new poll for the perfect Murphy.

I agree. Originally the poll was mine in another thread, but I requested to have it merged with this thread and thus lost control of it.

In the index it says this thread was started by j3nnee but she said she doesn't control the poll either.

Optionally you could start a new thread, add the poll, you will need to collect candidates by reading over this thread from the beggining. Then you could go to site suggestions and ask to have it merged here and maybe Priscillie will take down the Harry poll and put up the new one in it's place. The drawback to that method is since no one is managing it, then it would be difficult to make changes such as adding new candidates to the poll.

To be perfectly honest though it would be moot. Sarah Michelle Gellar would win.
 
If you put 2 and 2 together;
 
Nathan Fillion = Firefly = Joss Whedon = Buffy = Sarah Michelle Gellar.

*If Alexis Denisof were on the poll he would have won, but seeing as how he is another Whedonverse actor that is also a moot point, though he would have been more closely related to SMG in the Whedonverse.

Personally I would still like to see Kristen Bell play the role. She is cute, cheerleader like, she kicked a little a$$ an Heroes, and she is a pretty decent actress. She may not be the "PERFECT" Murphey but she is my favorite choice so far.

Thank you for conceding defeat Just kidding.

As long as no one tries to pitch Hayden Panettierre, who is no where near old enough, but who used to actually play a cheerleader on Heroes. That's still something I never understood from the show. How do you save an indestructible cheerleader in order to save the world? Stupid season 1 catchlines.

I'm new to this site, so if I hit the wrong button please don't destroy me.
I always see Paul Blackthorn as Harry, because I saw the TV show before I found the books.
I think that Mark Harmon would do really well as Morgan, silver hair, and totally Army.
And, I don't know his name, but the guy who plays Guy of Gisbon on the new BBC 'Robin Hood' series would be really awesome as Thomas.
And the other guy from that show who plays Little John, would be the perfect Michael.

I think that Mark Harmon would do really well as Morgan, silver hair, and totally Army.

"In 1996, Harmon saved two teenage boys who were involved in a car accident outside of his home. Harmon used a sledge hammer from his garage to break the window out of their burning car, then pulled them free from the flames.¹

Mark Harmon is definitely awesome. I'm not sure if I want to see him with a ponytail. He would also have to gain a bit of muscle Morgan is described as being a larger man.  

[Jaeh]

Mark Harmon. yes please. I love him.

although, he doesn't look so... scary to me. isn't morgan supposed to be a lil scary?

[JessE]

Mark Harmon can look scary when he wants too.
*eek

*ducks behind sofa

I dunno. angry gibbs doesn't scare me. 

Idk why, but Jessica Alba don't scream sexy seductive vampiress succubus.

can we cast scarlet johanssen as lash, btw?

Agree with angry Gibbs, I just don't see him as Morgan, he might work as Marcone though...
And Jessica Alba as Lara is another agreement.
Scarlet Johanssen as Lash...mm, I don't know...

Scarlet Johanssen as Lash...mm, I don't know...

ooooh yeah. He could be Marcone. I like that.

girl next door girl next door hmmmmm

[MoSeS]

I disagree with Mark Harmon as Morgan, he is way to gentle looking, even when he is trying to be menacing, he would probably make a better Marcone than Morgan.


Jessica Alba, I would not mind seeing her in this cast somewhere but not as Lara Raith. Besides I have Lara reserved for Famke Janssen(Dark Phoenix).


Scarlett Johanssen as Lash......hummmmm......Yeah, I think she could work as Lash or just about any one of the Summer Sidhe like Lily or Aurora.

Casting "Changes"
Adding my two cents:

Dresden: Nathan Fillion (though he would have to loose some weight- not that he's fat, but he's a little bulky.)
Bob- voiced by James Marsters (bob's my favorite voice in the audiobooks)
Thomas: Josh Hartnet or Ryan Rynalds
Sanya- can't remember his name but the guy who wrote and played the giant black werewolf in Underworld.
Marcone: Eric Roberts (Marcone was Eric Roberts in my head even before Dark Knight)
Murphy: Charleze Theron
Susan: Gina Torez (come on, don't you want to see her in that outfit she wears in the final scene?)
Uriel: Alexander Skaarsgard
Odin: Liam Neson
Mab: Cate Blanchet
Lea:  Juliane Moore
Molly: lindsay fonseca (see Kick-Ass)
Arianna: Riana (if she can act)
Martin: Joe Pantelione (head in a bag!)
Butters: Zach Galafinakus
Gard- Rebecca Romijn

And just for shits and giggles:
Mother Summer: Imma P. Hall (old lady in the Ladykillers)
Mother Winter: Betty White

[Shecky]

Somebody please find a place for Tim DeKay of "White Collar". Dude is just awesome, and he gets overlooked far too often for the simple fact that Matt Bomer causes panties to spontaneously combust at fifty paces.

No to most of these.

Eric Roberts as Marcone, Liam Neeson as Odin, and Kevin Grevioux as Sanya, are pretty good choices.

Cate Blanchett would make a better Lea.

And Julianne Moore shouldn't be in here at all, just because she has red hair does suit her to play Lea.

Alexander Skarsgard would be a great Kincaid, not Uriel.

Uriel should be a gentle mysterious type figure, like a Anthony Hopkins type.

Lyndsy Fonseca as Molly.........she is the right age......maybe she could.

Riana!?! is that because her name is in Ariana!?! I think this is a bad choice.

Joe Pantoliano as Martin. This could work. Yes.

Rebecca Romijn as Gard....maybe.....she was a good Mystique... so yes to this one.

Butters: Zach Galafinakus. NO (he isn't even close to the physical appearance)
Susan: Gina Torres. NO (she doesn't compare to the other choices)
Murphy: Charleze Theron. NO (because I don't like her)
Thomas: Josh Hartnet. NO (he can't act very well)
Thomas: Ryan Reynolds. NO (he is too snarky for Thomas)
Dresden: Nathan Fillion. NO (I was never a fan of this idea, so sue me)
Bob: voiced by James Marsters. Well naturally this would be a yes.

Bob: James Marsters
Thomas: Allan Hyde/Orlando Bloom
Sanya: Sean Blakemore
Murphy: Aaaahh, I can't pick!

Mab: Angelina Jolie
Morgan: Ryan O'Neal
Molly: Deborah Ann Woll
Butters: Simon Helberg/ John Francis Daley
Michael: Michael C. Hall (beefed up a bit ^^)
