Perfect Casting, part 2
Coalprin:
All the ones that care about this topic, at least.

If we could break the Laws of Magic and travel through time to get the ideal star at the ideal age to play a role, I'd nominate James Cromwell. First of all, he's 6'7", which is, depending on which interview you catch Jim in, either Harry's height or only 2 inches less. Second of all, he's got the general facial structure that my mind's eye has put on Harry (not to mention similar to that of Alexis Denisof, the person Jim himself said would be perfect for the role). Third, he's got the surliness and wiseassery that are SO essential to Harry down pat.

I am Dragonball fan, but I thought this movie was awful. I think everyone pretty much disliked it.

Dude, I never saw it and I disliked it, lol. I'm mostly just impressed that Marsters freaking SAT THERE and told the make-up person to make him look uglier.
Yah-huh. It's like when Charlize Theron put on all that weight to play the lesbian serial killer years back. Again, I say, I am impressed.

*gasp* I am ashamed of myself. I never considered that at all. And I feel even more ashamed for not thinking of Alexis Denisof. He's full-blooded American, and I keep imagining him with that damn British accent from Angel and Buffy. Arghity. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways, Shecky :)

The funny thing is when I think of Nicodemus... I think of James Mason. I don't know why.
I also think (old actor pool) Ed Ames would have made an awesome (draws a ________) ... the native american Wizard. *hits head trying to recall*
or maybe the guy who was in Dances with Wolves... the one who didn't like Kevin Costner's character but at the end is screaming "My name is so and so and I am your friend!" (see my memory is slipping and I'm not even 40 yet) :P
