Perfect Casting, part 2

[synobal]

ah I remember him from the short lived show Jake 2.0.

[Warden John Marcone]

...

HOLY CRAP!  I didn't recognize him.  I'm in, Chris Ghoram as Butters.

I think Vin would work more as Michael than Nicodemus. He'd work very well as Kincade though- he will probably be tired of playing that kind of role.

I'm still sold on Zach Galifianakis as Butters.  It's the hair.   Plus, I can just hear him wheezing out "Polka will never die!"

[synobal]

Willie Garson could be a good butters as well.

No doubt!  He doesn't have the curly mop, but in all other ways...

Who should play Nicodemus?

The problem with Nicodemus is that it has to be someone who can do creepy really well and, in my opinion no one can do creepy as well as Alan Rickman. But I read Nick's scenes with Alan's voice, and it just doesn't work. I just don't see Alan working for any of Nick except the creepiness.

Which is why Kevin Spacey would be ideal. He can get his creep on like nobody's business.

[dwilson1282]

Yeah. His role in Seven is still shiver worthy.

Kevin Spacey could work for Nic I think...he's got that sneaky quality and he is older but still has a powerful presence. Something about the shape of his mouth when he talks looks like my image of Nic also.

I like Vin Diesel (and for the record, I loved the "Fast and Furious" movies) but he would not work for any of the roles in Dresden. His flavor is a good flavor but it just doesn't match with that of the books. (I haven't seen him in all that much so I can't really grade his acting ability but I think he does well with what he's given most of the time.)

For those playing along at home, so far my cast list looks like this:

The Good:
Harry:  Paul Blackthorne or, if not, then Ryan Reynolds
Thomas:  Ian Somerhalder
Murphy:  Emily Rose
Susan:  Erica Cerra (I have no image strong enough to argue with Jim on this one)
Ramirez: Victor Webster
Ebenezer:  Robert Duvall (kudos, Shecky)
LTW - Russell Means, though he'd probably have a total meltdown at being nicknamed Injun Joe... so failing this, Wes Studi.
Martha Liberty - L. Scott Caldwell
Butters:  Zach Galifianakis.  Though sometimes my mental image reverts to Danny Strong.
Mac:  Adam Baldwin

The Bad:
Nicodemus:  Kevin Spacey
Lara:  Kate Beckinsale
Lea:  Marcia Cross (La!)
Marcone: Jeffrey Donovan

For the most part, I'm still open to casting for others or they just don't get a physical picture in my head when I'm reading about them.

[j3nnee]

So just a quick tally from everyone reading the boards (at least until we can get an official poll going). Just say Aye if you agree on Matt Bomer as Thomas. Say Nay if you don't, and then list your vote.

_{I only actively list Matt Bomer because everyone on this board already knows that he's my pick for Thomas, lol. Not to mention, I think a good majority of you (of the females at least -- behold the power of a pretty man) would agree on him}

Had to modify my post because my stupid self forgot to say AYE.

AYE since I haven't been around because I watch White collar religiously and have this thing for Mr Bomer *rrowwrr*

Well, you won't hear any judement from this corner. 

[Shecky]

Ebenezer:  Robert Duvall (kudos, Shecky)

Mac:  Adam Baldwin

Oh, Duvall wasn't my idea; it belongs to Esperacchius or Uilos (I forget which, but I know it was one of them). I'm just on the HELLYEAH bandwagon.

... and Adam Baldwin as Mac? I see SOMEbody likes their taciturn Casey from "Chuck".

It's true!  I know Mac's supposed to be bald, but now it really is Adam Baldwin in my head doing the grunting and glaring and snorting and beer-pouring.  Though in a pinch, he might make a half-decent Michael.  Hm.
