Hat.  Love you.  Love your temple and all.  But... *what*?!  He's too but to play Harry? :D

Lol - I always wonder if people know who my user name refers to. (I'm a major Egyptian history buff.  ;)) Yes, I'm afraid, for once, being buff works to his disadvantage. Harry, although he gets fitter later on, is still built like a runner. If he had a body like Ryan Reynolds I don't imagine he'd have cause to envy Michael or Thomas.  ;)

This is very true! He might have a six pack, but it would be a very undefined six pack :)

Oh, BUILT.  I couldn't decide if you were going for "butt ugly" or what.

Ryan Reynolds only has that physique when he works hard for it.  Between movies, he de-buffs quite nicely into a gangly sort of guy that's all arms and legs.  He's said in several interviews that he really hates the hours and hours of gym time it takes to keep the bod, but the female attention doesn't suck and I can only imagine ScarJo digs it.  I can't imagine he'd be at all loathe to let it go into "abs of cardboard".

Oops...did I mistype that? My bad! Ryan Reynolds is hot and I could never say something bad about him like that. No wonder you were confused!

I didn't know he hates to work out. Interesting... I'll try to find pics of him in between "abs" periods and see what I think then.  :)

lol, I'm still stuck with Michael Weatherly as Harry in my head. I need to stop watching NCIS and look for other shows with harry-ish people. xD

I like him but he just doesn't fit the part, plus he is kinda chunky for Dresden.

Do you guys hate him by Casting Nathan so it fails.

So many more that we still can't decide, lol.

(Update on that SpoilerTV poll I whined about earlier. Spike is now winning, but the poll is still open for another, say, 10 hours. I think. This is going to be massive. Vote for him anyway, lol. :) http://bit.ly/99C0V9)

I love James Marsters.
That aside, he is a bit short to play Harry and part of Harry's character is his height.
as the cop says in White Knight "How many NBA sized gay white guys with dogs have you seen around here."  or some such thing.

Interesting to know that JB wanted Marsters for Harry. 
If not Harry, how about Marsters for Chandler/Steed?  He dresses up REAL NICE.

To hear Marsters with a British accent again? Excuse me.

*wipes up drool from face*

That's better.

I'd go for it, but I dunno if others would. Despite LOOKING like he's still in his twenties, James isn't :) Still adore him, though!

Dude, I don't care, so long as those gorgeous baby blues and those sharp-as-knives cheekbones come out in the best light :D
