Perfect Casting, part 2

Hey, how about Chris Melloni for Hendricks.
(He plays Stabler on Law and Order, SVU.)

[Warden John Marcone]

Pic!

Oooo Flashes of Oz and Idon't mean the wizard but in that same vein Jessie Martin if he can do the accent for Sonya

Actually, I could see him being good for Marcone.

Russell Crowe for Michael would be so sweet

Russell Crowe for Michael would be so sweet

Sorry no - Russell Crowe does NOT have the goodness that Michael needs. He's too bad ass looking
and acting.  David Wenham yes, Crowe no.

Yeah, Chris Melloni would be a good Marcone - the man can literally radiate menace and that is an art unto itself.

While at the same time looking like he could be a high school softball coach, or something like that.  I forget the exact description from Storm Front.

Does anyone else here get a 'Harry and Thomas walk into yet another situation" vibe from this pic?

Not really.
I Still see Matthew Bomer as Thomas hands down.
He's who I see when I read the books.

How about a talented, tall, fairly young but yet to be known actor for Dresden?

I'd go for Lee Pace or Jared Padalecki, purely for height reasons, but neither of them really have the right look.  Maybe if Lee managed to lose the adorable puppy-dog look a bit, grew some stubble, let his hair get shaggy...  Hmmm...

Jared is too firmly established in my head as Sam Winchester, so he already kind of exists in a modern-fantasy universe, which would seriously mess with my head if he ever played Harry.

Harry is described as having hair that is short on the sides, and longer on top. It would make sense for him to have shaggy hair, and Mr. Mcgrath has firmly placed an image in many folks' head. Are people forgiving in the detail that according to the books Harry has, as I read it, just a little longer than military length hair. I think the cover of the RPG and the graphic novels has him with, what I think is, the correct style.

I would like to know who cuts his hair considering the effect using the trimmings could cause in the wrong hands.

[Tigris]

He probably cuts his own hair with shears. It would account for the constant bedhead look and do you really thing Harry would pay someone to cut his hair when he could do a perfectly serviceable job himself?

I also see Matthew Bomer as Thomas.

[Warden John Marcone]

Nah, James Marsters.

[Bujin]

Nah, James Marsters.

As Harry or Thomas?  I think he's a bit old for either by now - he's getting close to 50.

Age can be dealt with - it's looks and acting chops you need.
