some very good choices here is my list

Harry- Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman
Murph Kelli Giddish (lady from tv show chase) Sarah Michelle Geller
Thomas Ian Somerhil (Boone From lost) Sam Worthington
Morgan Alan Rickman
Lara Raith Pam Anderson/ Scarlett Johanson
Susan Eva Mendez
Bob Patrick Stewart/John Goodman
Butters Jim Parsons/ Raine Wilson
Michael Eric Dane/ Erik Bana
Nicodemus Christoph Waltz
Ortega Jimmy Smitz
Kincaid Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost)
Mab Heather Locklear
Aurora Sara Michelle Geller/Kriston Belle
Maeve Thora Burch
Madrigal Raith Justin Long
Marcone Brad Bitt
Ebineezer Tommy Lee Jones



Some very good options here. And I have to say, although I've been disapproving of Ryan Reynolds for a while now, I am kind of warming up to the idea of him as Harry if Marsters couldn't have the role. Josh Hollaway would make a perfect Kincaid, SMG would be great for Aurora (Kristen Bell's voice is just too little girly,) and Tommy Lee Jones as Ebenezer would be great, provided he could "mountain man" up his attitude and voice a little (which he is a great actor so I'm sure he could.) I'm not so keen on Pam Anderson or Scarlett Johanson for Lara because a) they don't come across as very bright and Lara is sharp as a tack and b) they are both blondes. Also Sam Worthington is too ruggedly handsome to play the more prettyboy-ish (and I mean that in the best way possible) Thomas. And Brad Pitt isn't old enough to play Marcone. But you've certainly got some great choices up there.

Madrigal Raith Justin Long, huh?  Meliekz.  NOT!  Can't see it, and besides, Long is too nice.

These are the only ones that actually popped into my head while reading:

Thomas - Matt Bomer, definately x]
Charity -Julie Benz
Binder - How does that not scream Mark Sheppard?

And... I think you guys need to watch this. It's from an incredibly corny internet show: LG15. But watch this video
http://www.lg15.com/episode/view/2/1/4/1
 (at about 1:10 and 5:00, and tell me that you can't imagine this as Harry and Molly)

there was some of these that I am still not sure on, Justin Long i'll admit was a reach,  I still am having some issues with Marcone, what about Anthony LaPaglia (Jack from without a trace) I think the Ian Sumerhalder for Thomas would be great,  yes I agree about Lara Raith you are right Pamela too ditsy and Johanson not right either, what about Charlize Theron,  Melinda Clarke from Nekita for Bianca, come on guys what do you think

According to section XXVII subsection 12, article j of the Hollywood bylaws you are not allowed to have a genre project without including Mark Shepard somewhere in the cast.

Then he's breaking the snot out of the rules by appearing on "Supernatural".

THANK YOU!

Seriously, I'm beginning to think it's a real law. Especially since he just got cast on DOCTOR WHO!!!!!!!!!!

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 pushed that for a while. Everyone told me no. Apparently, she's too tall :P

EMILY ROSE EMILY ROSE EMILY ROSE EMILY ROSE

.... as Murphy.

That is all.

See my post on Mark Sheppard getting a role on DOCTOR WHO.

Kid you not, I am flailing like never before right now. This makes me so flipping excited.
