Kincaid's description:


Page 107 of the Paperback edition of Death Masks:


      A man stood on my doorstep. He was nearly as tall as me but looked a lot more solid, with shoulders wide enough to make the loose black jacket he wore fit tightly on his upper arms. He wore a navy blue shirt and stood so that I could see the wrinkles caused by the straps of a shoulder rig. A black ball cap reined in dark golden hair that might have fallen to his shoulders. He hadn't shaved in a few days, and had a short, white scar below his mouth that highlighted the cleft in his chin. His eyes were grey-blue and empty of any expression in a way I had seldom seen.



Kincaid:


OR


(look at the arms. Those are... those are GOOOOOOD arms to have.


Anyway, 'nuff said.
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."

She may look a bit too sweet and innocent, but what about Amy Acker as Lara?

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.
WOW!!!!!  I cannot think of any other words to say but WOW!!!!! anything else involves using profanity. but in a positive way. Mark is a great actor. Loved him in everything he has done. I think he was on the tv show Firefly but i could be wrong. Yes i looked it up he was. He is an excellent actor. ;D

Charity -Julie Benz
Binder - How does that not scream Mark Sheppard?

Yes and No.  Julie Benz =

Binder's a one-shot character, Mark Sheppard deserves a larger role.

Mmm casting discusssions...
I could totally see Christian Kane as Kincaid. He's got the right combination of size and menancing potential.
My rough thoughts (for now);
Harry - Torn beteen Hugh Jackman and Nathan Fillion. They both are excellent actors, bot Hugh doesn't seem have the right snark factor and Nathan doesn't ahve the hair...sorry to say it but I've always seen Harry as having longish and curly hair which Hugh can easily pull off.
Murphy - Michelle Pfeiffer  ? Right size, can be scary looking when she wants to...8)
Thomas - hmmm any number of pretty boys could fill that role, Brad Pitt is an excellent actor but he's Brad Pitt and it's hard to hide that for anything. Johnny Depp could do it; he has the ability to hide himself in his roles.
Butters - Sharlto Copely (District 9 & the A-Team) he cna do humor and he can do serious...
Michael - Jeff Bridges ?
Charity - Jodi Foster ?
Molly - Allison Hanigan ? she'd be so adorable in that punky hair...8)
Rashid/Gatekeeper - Morgan Freeman ?
Merlin - John Malkovich ?
Leahansidhe - Helen Mirren !
Ramirez - John Leguizamo!
Ebenezer - ? I so have an image in my head of someone appropriate but I cant think of where I've seen him. Have to ocme back to this one tooo

Hrmm...too young to me and a little to humorous...and pretty. Michael always strikes me as very normal-seeming and down-to-earth, but not pretty.

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

I like Melinda Clarke as one of the vampire beauties but I think she would make a better Lara.

Agree with tiny[but]fierce. Jensen Ackles has the snark for sure but the hight is an issue (he doesn't have an overly lanky build, either, which means he can't even fake it.) And he is just too, too pretty. Gorgeous, in fact. Harry doesn't consider himself to be that good looking and anybody who looked like Jensen would just have to know.  ;D

Quote
I still think either Daniel Craig or johnny depp should be kincaid

Daniel Craig...I guess maybe but I'm not really seeing it. But Johnny Depp is just way to weird. My vote still goes to Josh Holloway hands down. (And if you still need any convincing check out tiny[but]fierce's post on the previous page.) ;)

And David Boreanaz as Michael? I'm afraid I don't see that at all. I love Michael but Boreanaz is just too "pretty." Michael is actually the character I have the biggest crush on (even more than Thomas - please don't kill me...and Charity, please don't kill me either.) Michael is handsome but your first thoughts when you see Michael shouldn't be lustful and I'm afraid Boreanaz leans too much in that direction. Also, although he's certainly not untrustworthy at all, his demenor doesn't have that instantly trustworthy and genuine quality that Michael should have.
