The man has talent.  Both TC, Patinkin, and Manilow.

Sorry, came down with a brief bout of insanity.

Although I adore Nathan Fillion, I can't see him as Harry. Just too good-humored in my mind.

I voted for Hugh Jackman as Harry, because of the height and lankiness mostly. And I think he can do dark.

I do this stuff all the time, to the eternal horror of The Dear Wife.

Out of curiosity, what other songs have you bastardized? :D
Murphy: "Maybe you know the monsters, Martin. But I know the guy who stops them."

Dresden: "Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?"

Dresden: "Hell's holy stars and freaking stones shit bells."

I'm no TC, but I'm pretty sure if I dig, I can find my rendition of Motley Crue's "squirrels squirrels squirrels"

The song was playing on the radio, and my sister up and says, "Why are they singing about Squirrels?"

It was less a facepalm moment and more a rolling around laughing moment.

LOL. That's horrible. As a Crue fan that is truly and utterly horrible :)

I feel the same way. I love Fillion, and I love Jackman (and I voted for Jackman in part thanks to this image and story) but Fillion has played some dark characters in the past, and if he's a part of the Dresden Files cast, I'd rather see him... still prominent, but not the lead. However, as tall and lanky as Jackman is, he's still older than even Changes-era Harry, which is a bit... unbelievable if he started off from the beginning of the books. Harry is around 27 at the start of the series, so he would have to be played, at least at the start, by someone who is at the earlier end of the 27 to 30 year old spectrum.

The Darkness (my brother) is a Manilow fan, though I have my suspicions about his being my "brother".

Actually, after consideration I remember Nathan Fillion did Caleb on Buffy. He was pure evil there. I think he's too bulky for my internal picture of Harry, though.

Cory Monteith from Glee is 6' 4", and he's 25. I don't know if he could play weathered enough for Harry, though.
