LOL, those two are great together. If we wouldn't mind the exact physical description, they are perfect (she is tiny even).

I was stuck on DJ Squalls for Butters for the longest time.  But given the recent developments with Butters, I could see TJ Thyne beings a pretty good step up for him.

huh.  Butters has always been Tony Shalhoub in my head.

Huh.  I've always considered the role for Paul Giamatti--he's not precisely how I picture Butters, but he came the closest, until now.  I might have to go with Tony Shaloub.  Only thing is that I've always seen Butters as having a rounder, fuller face (more so than Shaloub)...

This too - at least on the size. Doesn't Harry refer to Butters as "the little" this-or-that a couple of times?

Tall dude like Harry, granted, everyone's a little bit little.

Age-wise, Butters was pegged as mid-forties in SG.

Also, I am coming over here to gloat my find for Maeve from the spoilers casting thread: Jena Malone.

     Paul Bettany could do a good Nicodemus (or Lord Raith). He has the natural look and the voice for either part.


Ooooooohhhhhhh.....I could definitely get onboard with Paul Bettany for Lord Raith.  Or maybe Nic.  But I'd definitely like to see him in there somewhere.

I would be more than happy with him as Nicodemus, but he's not Pretty or ageless enough for Papa Raith, plus Id want him to resemble Thomas if at all possible, which in my mind means looking like Matt Bomer

For me this is Clan Wraith:

Thomas = Matt Bomer


Papa Wraith = Rob Lowe


Lara and Sisters = Mary-Louise Parker, Kate Beckinsale, and Anna Silk (not sure which for lara, but probably Beckinsale for the range of scary personality)


The Twins (Madrigal and Madeline) = Ian Summerhalder and Parker Posey



Inari = Ellen Page


EDIT:  Fixed the broken Mott Bomer pic

I nominate Quantas as Raith family casting director if/when a TV show or movie are made.

Yeah, I see him as skinny, and short.  But I see his face as "roundish"--maybe a little "jowly", but not in any kind of "obese" sense--picture a face shaped like Richard Nixon, but with a much narrower (non-ski slope) nose, less "scowly", more amiable expressions, hair comparable to Don King's but more black than gray and with a more receded hairline, and glasses.  That's Butters to me.  Paul Giamatti is the real-life actor that comes closest, as I said, be he still doesn't get it.  Not in the same sense as, say, I see Jack Black as perfect for Will Borden (have never pictured anyone else for the role).

Since I binged through Veronica Mars, I've seen Kristen Bell as Karrin in my mind too. I third that nomination.
