Yes. I know if at least one Muslim who wore a thick beard until The Incident (9/11). Then he shaved to stubble.

I can understand why he did, but I think it's misguided. I never shaved my beard, never stopped wearing identifiably Muslim head-gear, clothing etc. For one thing, as a practicing Muslima my wife didn't have the option of removing her hijjab to "blend in", unless she was willing to abandon her principles. I wasn't gonna hide when she couldn't--that would be cowardly.
More importantly, while I've done things in my life that I'm ashamed of, being Muslim isn't one of them and never will be. Has my refusal to go "under cover" sometimes resulted in "unpleasant" interactions with some of my non-Muslim countrymen? Yep. But hey, whenever that happens I just ask myself, "What would Harry do"?
PS: Yo NarPhoenix--thank you for your message (wiping tears from eyes).
God's Peace and Blessing to you my Brother.

New here so don't mind me hehe But had to chip in on this discussion cuz it's something I ponder a lot.
I've really only ever had 2 that completely stand out for me, Dresden and Butters. (And I can't remember the actor's names sorry, and currently at work so can't surf too much of the interwebs hehe)
For Dresden I have recently thought the guy that plays Miles in Revolution is rather perfect. To me he looks exactly like how I picture Dresden, not to mention looks a lot like the cover art of the books.
For Butters, and again can't remember his name, but the guy that played a doctor/ME in the first season of True Blood. He looks exactly how I see Butters, and even sounds like him (going off the audio books of course).

I want to vote for Charisma Carpenter for Lara.

I'd vote for Kim Kardashian on the basis of looks, but don't know if she could act. "Posing" doesn't count.
