Has anybody been watching The Cape?  I believe Summer Glau was brought up for a specific role and it was shot down on account of her wooden style. With the new evidence I would like to revisit that decision.
That would really depend on the part. If someone is about to suggest Molly, I really don't think she'd fit. Maeve or Aurora or Lily? Yes please.

I know I suggested her for Luccio 2.0.

Actually I have l ways seen BRIAN BLESSED as Eb. in a similar vein what about Derek Jacobi as Nic?

Nah, I can't really see Eb being that hammy. Or loud.
Jacobi would work really well for Nicodemus, now that you mention it. I still stand by my original choice of Timothy Dalton, with Alan Rickman as alternate.
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

And having seen her in The Cape I now agree.

I'll hop on board the Glauwagon. She could work for Luccio 2.0.

I don't see Glau for Luccio 2.0 but I do think she'd be good for Maeve.

As for Eb, as I commented earlier in this thread - Fred Dalton Thompson would make a good Eb, tall, balding and Southern.
And he can look pissed off and mean.

This is a shot in the dark but every time i watch the metalist i see Robin Tunneys character as murphy. Would have to die her hair blond but the mannerisms and hard tough chick personalit is perfect.
Also always see Sasha Alexader from NCIS as Eliane. dont know have any real reason behind it but it is what i picture

BRIAN BLESSED is it not always hammy watch the old PBS I Claidius is see him not beong hammy which brings to my mind a good Merlin John Hurt or maybe him as Mort.

I don't know why, but I picture Mort looking something like Kurt Fuller, just a bit shorter.
Here's his IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0298281/

Glau's face looks like it's been botoxed - maybe Maeve but not Lucio.

Agreed. And if she can act, she really might make a good Maeve.
