Perfect Casting, part 2
Ivu:
I was involved in this same debate in another forum, I felt that my favourite choice for Harry from that conversation was Sean Patrick Flannery, although as someone mentioned, he is a bit too short.
In my mind, I've always cast Rashid as Morgan Freeman and ever since seeing Morgan in the Storm Front comic, he's been Sean Connery, although I do quite like the idea of Connery as McCoy. I've debated Alan Rickman as Nicodemus, no one can do creepy as well as he can, but I'm really not sure if his voice fits.
I like the idea of Helena Bohnam Carter as Mavra, but personally, I'd prefer her a Mab, she's just so good at playing characters that are anywhere from slightly odd to completely insane. Maybe I just want her to have a bigger role.

Miranda Richardson as Mab. She has experience, after all...
fivestyle:
What about Gary Oldman as Nicodemus

Offhand, yeah, this feels like a much better selection. Though I still prefer Sean Bean for Michael. I always imagined Michael with a fairly square jaw; Viggo doesn't quite have it. But that's a comparatively minor quibble.
I'm of the mind it's always better to have actors who are "too young"; these days, aging someone older is easier than aging them younger, and seems more natural on-screen.

Not saying he couldn't do it, but Oldman seems the wrong type for that character. For Nicodemus, I get more of a Jason Isaacs, Mark Strong kind of vibe.
