Hmm I thought Jim recommended Mads Mikkelsen since his role in Casino Royale was very Morgan, but now I can't find that tweet.

EDIT: Sorry, it wasn't Jim who said that but someone who replied to his tweet.

Hey, I like that idea. I really think he could pull it off.

I actually like Statham for Kincaid, maybe use some artistic license to let him to the shaved head look though because he looks a little odd with hair.  To me at least. 
I still maintain that Capn Mal would be a great Harry although I also like Karl Urban for the role.
Thomas I think should be Matt Bomer( I know he's a favorite here among the ladies)
Erica Cerra simply must be Susan.
I am pretty open on Murphy so far no one jumps out at me but I've seen several that would be great. 
Bob should be voiced by His Jimness because, c'mon, that would just be cool. 8)


I really think He is just too well muscled to be Dresden, Fillion has put on a lot since he was capt mal
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

Maybe...I'm not so sure she has enough life to play Luccio, though. Summer Glau has been great in everything I've seen her in but I think that's largely due to the types of roles she gets (emotionally unstable, robotic, etc.) I tend to think that Glau has strange mannerisms in real life, too - ones that she can't overcome for a role. She hasn't had to because there are plenty of "off" roles for her to play but still...I'm not sure she's got the acting ability to pull of the complicated Luccio. 

She had a guest role in the Unit, and it was like a whole different actress.

Really? I've never watched The Unit so I haven't seen her performance there. Interesting - maybe I can find some clips from her performance and see what I think. Thanks, Warden.  :)

No.  Like the actor, but no.

glad to oblige

WHAT GOOD IDEAS????  (Pausing to blow smoke from revolver)
Actually GW, was a good comment on Nathan Fillion - he has gotten a tad more stocky than what Harry requires.

You must have made some good suggestions when I wasn't looking, because all of your usual ones are TERRIBLE!

This to the thousandth power.

I have asked about this multiple times and even have PMed Pris once, but no response.

I do believe this is currently the longest thread active on the site;

It such a fruitful topic, Tbora, for both inspiration and irritation. ;D

Hey I resent that, Just because over the course of these pages my suggestions of Tom Cruise, Ben Athelek, Michael Weston as Butters, Rachel McAdams as Susan, John Travolta as Marcone, NPH as Thomas, and any others have gone unheaded does not mean other suggestions like Fillion as Michael  should be disounted

Yes but its length is against Fred's desires.

He does not want topics to get this long because they slow the servers down.
