Perfect Casting Part Three

[Amber]

Bah, Tony Hale is 6'1.  He's not tall.  Tall enough, maybe, but not tall.  And he's 43 now, meaning he'd be nearly 20 years older than Harry in SF.

If I want tall, skinny, gangly geek, Zachary Levi is my pick.  At 6'4", he's close to Dresden's height, he's skinny as a rail, and he does geek very well.  At 33, with two books a year, he'd be around 43-44 when the series completed.

OMG.  I never wanted Zac Levi as Harry, but now I do.

My brilliant husband just came up with the most amazing casting choice for Marcone.  Dolph freakin' Lundgren!

Dolph is a contender for my Vaderung.  He's competing with Rutger Hauer (who is also a contender for Morgan in my mind.)

[WiredKamikaze]

I always saw Jon Hamm as Marcone

Right, stop me if you've heard this one before: Chris Hemsworth for Kincaid (or maybe some Monoc/Einherjar part). I only saw the first Thor and didn't exactly fall for his acting, but in looks? That's one hell of a Hellhound.

I'd go for this and along with that, I think Eric Balfour as Thomas. I think they look enough alike to pull it off.

     I like Phyllida Law for a pre-Corpsetaker Anastasia Luccio and Lynn Collins for post-Corpsetaker Luccio.

wasn't post-ct Luccio supposed to be a college co-ed?

[Seriphina]

I like Helen Mirren for pre-Luccio.

I think Ellen Page would make a good Molly

I think we should have a 2014 Casting Challenge, where we try and cast the show using actors and actresses that are the right age for a new show that starts filming in 2015.  Starting with STORM FRONT, cast with Harry in his mid-twenties, Susan about the same, Murphy in her late twenties or early thirties, Michael old enough to have a a 12yo eldest daughter, Lea young enough to grow into her role without appearing to age over 10 years (so probably in her twenties, but looking worldly), etc, etc.

It seems hard.  I've been looking for a good ~25yo actor for SF Harry, and I just haven't found one that's even remotely tall enough.  It seems like a lot of actors these days are either well beneath 6', or big and beefy and playing Thor in in the movies.

Blackstaff:  W. Morgan Sheppard

I`ve always pictured Sarah Michelle Gellar as Murphy.  I know it's typecasting but there it is. 
Harry has always been a young Jeff Goldblum. 
Charity has always been played by Jeri Ryan in my head and Michael looks like Eric Dane, which is interesting because that was true before I ever saw a picture of Dane.
Marcone has always been a young Michael Corleone (Al Pacino).
The problem is that with the exception of Dane and possibly Gellar,  none of them are viable for casting.

Adrian Paul as Marcone

Very nice!

The World Cup got to me and I started casting the German team as Dresden guys.

Mats Hummels could be Harry - he's 6 foot 3...


And Manuel Neuer just has to be somebody. A Whampire or an Einherjar or someone. What a cutie. (also, funny enough, reminds me of my husband. guess I chose well. )


I have no clue how much English they speak! But... they just wormed their way into my head, what with watching them for so long.

If we're doing sports players, Adam Wainwright often stars as my mental Dresden.  Possibly just because the guy is 6'7".  The one on the right.

I could see Neuer as Madrigal.
I would like a role for Cillessen. perhaps Daniel Carpenter or a fae.
