He's pretty enough certainly, but for me it was a toss-up between Glenn Howerton and Taylor Kitsch purely because they can both have that little bit of arrogance about them - a sort of "Yeah, I know exactly how good I look" air about them.
Kitsch is the better of those two, imo.  Clean shaven he had the pretty-boy thing going much better. 

Matt Bomer is my go-to as well, he has the same touch of arrogance but also the ability as an actor to look like he has lots of confidence that is all a mask.  That and his White Collar Character basically /was/ thomas, just with "vampire" replaced by "Con-man".  The problem is he's quickly getting too old for a Storm Front vintage Thomas where they'd likely need to cast the character, rather than the 15-ish years later that all my mental images are stuck at.

Yes, that is true, but I'll keep him for now  :)

 >:(  I'm trying to avoid using the words white and wash together. 

I'd say go Italian with Sophia Loren (82yo) or Monica Belluci (52yo).  Monica might be the better choice for the physical requirements (however limited they might be in original Luccio's appearance) of the fight scenes.  But how great would it be to work stars like Sophia Loren in with cameos?

I don't remember old Luccio physical description but they are some very blonde Italians.

I believe she's supposed to have steel gray hair.

Here it is:
Quote
The door opened and Warden Luccio came in. She was a solid old matriarch of a woman, as tall as most men and built like someone who did plenty of physical labor. Her hair was a solid shade of iron grey, cropped into a neat, military cut. She too wore a Warden's grey cloak, though she wore clothes suitable for hiking or camping beneath that: jeans, cotton, flannel, boots, all in muted tones of grey and brown. She too carried a staff and bore a sword at her side, though hers was a slender scimitar, light and elegant. Though not as worn as Morgan's, her gear also showed evidence of recent action.

The sentence in bold is what really makes me think Jane Lynch (who's 6'0").  She also does really well walking the line of harsh authority figure that you dont actually hate.  And I once heard a great director say he always tries to cast comedians in dramatic roles because comedy is harder so if they can do that they have the subtle and timing for drama.  She has that. 

Sofia Loren is just too far past the age at this point, too frail looking for the battle-matron:

I think we have a good candidate for Mavra in the form of Kellyanne Conway... Sorry if that is too political.

I have not lost my mind, it is backed up somewhere on disc...

/Ulfgeir
Speaking purely to facial structure she wouldnt be all that bad, Mavra needs to be on the skinny/skeletal side and prominent bone structure is a plus for that. 

Im currently leaning toward Eva Green.  Anyone that hasnt seen her on Penny Dreadful is missing out big-time
