Perfect Casting, part 2
Atanvarno:
No argument on Bomer - the silvery colour scheme makes that picture seem highly relevant ;)
I don't think Pratt's the strongest actress, and she's too much the straight-up Amazon, it seems to me, for Murphy.
TJ Thyne is probably fine (ooch, sorry; that rhyme was unfortunate), but for some reason, I see Kevin Smith in my head when I read Butters' lines.
I also think of Will as being played by Seth Green, but that's no doubt the influence of Buffy.
I could buy Urban (or, oddly, David Wenham, don't ask me why) as Kincaid. I tend to think of Morgan as older. I found the TV choice for Morgan too dull. Morgan is not boring! In my head, Morgan looks like a combination of David Bradley (Argus Filch from the Harry Potter movies) and Brian Cox. I think Urban is quite underrated as an actor; he was very effective (and very different) in The Lord of the Rings and The Bourne Supremacy.
I didn't like any of the casting choices made for the TV series, except for Paul Blackthorne as Harry and Terrence Mann as Bob - though a very different version of Bob. Everybody else was a resounding meh or worse. (Valerie Cruz as Murphy?! Ack.)
MoSeS:
Matt Bomer, I checked out his IMDB and have to say WOW, I have never seen any of the stuff he has been in. That being the case I am unsure of his talent, therefore I would have to vote no.
Victoria Pratt, I completely agree with Atanvarno, I was thinking the same exact thing, too Amazon.
TJ Thyne, again, not familiar with his work, and when I saw the pic I did not see Butters at all.
Seth Green as Will Borden. I see the Buffy logic there, but Sethy is 36 now.
My pick for Will Borden is Emile Hirsch, he is 25, and I think he is a decent actor. I have not seen Speed Racer, but I liked him in The Girl Next Door.
Urban or Wenham as Kincaid. Neither. I can see Urban as like maybe a Denarian like Cassius and Wenham as Peabody, but neither of these would make a better Kincaid then Alexander Skarsgard. Though he was not my original choice.
For Morgan I think almost everyone agreed with my choice of Stephen Lang.

Karrin Murphy: Victoria Pratt (I think she fits)
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm399217152/nm0695560
And maybe for Butters this guy:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2959381504/nm0862328
He's on the show Bones. Plays a good nerdy type forensics guy.
He fits the profile I think for Butters.
Just another of my two cents.

MoSeS:
I had this same poll up before in McAnally's (The Community Pub) here and it was up to 23 votes, but due to the renovation of the forums it has been locked and that poll is gone.
The poll included Ryan Reynolds, Clive Owen, Adrian Brody, Paul Bettany, Hugh Laurie, Gerard Butler, Joe Flanigan, Neil Flynn, and Jared Paladecki, but due to the fact that each of those had about 1 vote each I decided to trim the list down.
I haven't figured out yet how long to run the poll or up to how many votes. In your opinion what would be a fair amount to decide. The first actor to reach 25 votes?
Later I would like to poll for additional characters, but naturally we should cast the star first.
POLL RESULTS AT CLOSE:
Lee Pace - 1 (16.7%)
Zachary Quinto - 0 (0%)
Hugh Jackman - 0 (0%)
Timothy Olyphant - 1 (16.7%)
Nathan Fillion - 4 (66.7%)
Chris Evans - 0 (0%)
