Perfect Casting, part 2
miketh:
I think that Vincent Cassel would be the perfect Lord Raith - he brings a whimsical, serial-killer quality smothered in suaveness that suits the character well :)

I've seen pictures of him... is it just me, or does he sort of bear a vague resemblance to Jude Law?
On another note, think he can rock a giant honking ruby earring in one ear? (I'm rereading Blood Rites for the millionth time, and have just reached Lord Raith's description in the book. Kinda funny.)
MoSeS:
I forgot about Vincent Cassel, I like that actor. He might be too young looking to pull off Lord Raith though, granted he is a Vampire, but he is also the father of a bunch of offspring, so I picture him looking somewhat older.

@ Knight Disciple
I like your suggestions, I think you are correct on all accounts. I have to admit that I went overboard casting some big actors for small parts and also getting some of the ages wrong. I figure since it's fake though why not squeeze them in there.
Harry: Yes, Clive is too old for early Harry.
Michael Carpenter: I did consider Bean for this but I like Viggo so I boosted him up to this role.
Nicodemus: I wanted to put Gary Oldman here actually but I thought Nighy could pull it off too.
Donar: Your absolutely right, I thought about that, but the guy is actually Norweigan so that's why I did it.
Red King: I could think of any other guys except maybe Robert LaSardo, actually LaSardo would be great.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RobertLaSardoTattoo.JPG
Lord Raith: I originally had C Lee as the Merlin, but that wasn't working for me. Rickman could work.
DuMorne: Yeah I kind of wanted Oldman as my Nicodemus.
Rashid: I didn't realize he was Middle Eastern, how about this Oded Fehr http://angelacameron.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/oded-fehr.jpg too young?
Mab: My logic here was that Belluci could pull of being the mother of M. Fox (as Maeve).
Lea: my reason is Jovovich can pull off a pretty decent CRAZY which is kind of Lea. But the look isn't quite right.
Inari: I thought so too, but she kind of favors Portman so I was going for the sisterly look. Plus Inari is old enough to be a production assistant at a porn studio so that would put her at like maybe 21ish and Knightley is 25, not too far off.
Charity: Agreed. However is Pfeiffer too old to play Viggo or Beans wife? she is in her 50's now.

A poll is a good idea! Except I can't think of 5 actors to consider for Harry. I will think about it and start a poll. I will review some of the suggestions on the other threads too, though I have already shot down tons of them like Eric Bana, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, etc.
Throw me some suggestions for Harry Dresden, then we can trickle it down to other characters. Casting Harry is going to effect how Thomas Raith is cast also, because Thomas is suppose to resemble Harry, except a bit shorter and a better physique of course.
