He is. They even mention it in the books, particularly when he gets reminiscent, or when Harry (or someone else, but it's usually Harry) pisses him off. His Scots burr comes through. He's just been living in/owned the farm in Hog Hollow for so long that the Scots burr has diminished significantly.

The man's the most versatile actor working in Hollywood with maybe the exception of Gary Oldman. He's my Nicodemus and any suggestions to the contrary do not exist in my reality. ;D
Just a note that Eb is not Southern. He's from Missouri. That's not the South. It's the midwest. The question would be if Billy could do a midwestern mountain man accent, but I agree that would be a concern. On looks and 'tude, though, he's aces and it's one of my favorite suggestions to come out of this thread.

Oldman is my Nic. I love Kevin Spacey (Kaiser Souzai), but I don't think he could nail Nicodemus, he is also a bit too old I think. Nicodemus is suppose to be like 30ish, and though Oldman is about 50, he still looks pretty young with some makeup. If Oldman wasn't an option I could see Spacey playing Nic.
*burn* I stand corrected, your right about Eb being midwestern, not southern. Connolly has it all, but I would have to hear him do a midwestern accent. For practicality though I can see Rip Torn (Dodgeball) and Tommy Lee Jones (No Country for Old Men) pulling off the accent and attitude, with the exception that they may not be convincinng as wizards when they have to start slinging magic around. (coincidentally they were both in MIB)

Maybe so, but he has spent his last few decades as Midwestern, so for all practical purposes he is midwestern.
If he was still a very Scottish Scotsman I would have probably cast someone like Sean Connery.....in a kilt.....with a bagpipe. Or grounds keeper Willy from the Simpsons.
svb1972:
Sean Connery would probably work actually.
In overalls. Wow, I would pay to see that.

Which just might be this side of disturbing. I love Sean Conner, but, uh... no.
