Oh!  Robin Williams as Nicodemus!

I'm basing this off of the trailers I saw for Insomnia, but hey.  And what about Molly Quinn for Molly?  She can dye her hair, obviously, and still at the age where she's a blank slate.
The moribund equine has been more than sufficiently flagellated.

Both. I watched "Buffy" and "Angel" and I've seen a few episodes of "Bones," although not many. And even if he wasn't too pretty, his smile, while cute, really isn't Michael's smile.

I am strongly oppossed but I have certainly found him the hardest to cast and don't even have anyone in mind for him. Eventually I'm going to see someone and go "he's perfect" but in the mean time I just can't approve of anyone I'm afraid.

Oh, I could see him as a Knight of the Cross for sure, like a past Knight or even a theoretical future Knight. Just not Michael.

Not to mention the recent news that came out about what he was doing while his wife was away. Doesn't instill "trustworthy" in my mind at all. If he was actually more like his character on Bones, Seeley Booth, then I'd say absofreakinglutely. But even just looking at him now just makes me want to shy away. It's like when someone plays an absolutely horrible character and people find that they can't look at the actor the same way anymore, even though in real life, he's incredibly wonderful. They say that it's just a character that he plays, but what happens when the actor's the skeezy one in real life, and his character is the one everyone likes? It goes both ways. Sadly, I am one of those people affected by this. There was always something about Boreanaz I didn't like, and I think it influenced my dislike of Angel. I still like the Seeley Booth character, but when Boreanaz is out of character is when I want to punch him in the face.

Yeah...I hadn't heard about that. Not cool. At least I liked Spike better. Still, that is very sad. I'm affected by what I know about the actors in real life, too.

And Liam Neeson is too old to play Michael.

"Rob Roy," Qui-gon in "Phantom Menace," the dad in "Missing" if I'm not mistaken, etc. His wife died recently (as in about a year or two ago) in a skiing accident I believe, also.
