He doesnt really look like how I picture Nic at all (thought with the right costumes and make-up he might get close) but in the last two things Ive seen him in (The Tomorrow People and Being Human) he has played a sort of villain that quiet, calm, even polite, while somehow radiating the sort of frighteningly rational evil and amorality that I get from Nic.

I think Mark Pellegrino is great at the subtle, quiet bad guy. He did the same on Supernatural. But I'm not sure he's quite what I picture for Nic.
I'd rather cast him in a subtly big role, like Gregori Cristos.

Reason I still hold out for Lani Tupu as either Nicodemus or Morgan is because in Farscape LT looked just like I pictured Morgan in particular. Trim beard, pony-tail, stern features and attitude.
And then, quite involuntarily, the same image was superimposed whenever I was reading about Nicodemus. And the image has just STUCK there for both roles, despite the fact that I think I've read "Turncoat" at least four times, and all the others at least three (Deadbeat five or six times).
Can no more escape that mental image than I can that of Jim Carey in yellow Grinch makeup as the Naagloshii.

Oh wow didn't even think of Binder. Oh he'd be great for Binder. But I just have a hard time seeing many people as Nicodemus. You have to have a certain charisma for the role, which I think Mark Sheppard has.

I liked him a lot as Lucifer in Supernatural. He's not how I picture Nic at all either, but he could probably get Nic's charisma down.

Sorry, that role's picked out for the guy who played "Badger" in the firefly series...
