Ah, but Jim has said that Clancy Brown would be the person he'd want to play Morgan in a movie. And he already does voice acting, so...
And when I saw Darkseid in Justice League, he sounded to calm. I'd expect a more gravely voice.
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

While I personally have not heard it, there is a large following that says JB himself does a Bob that is second to none.  If we're talking voice actor, I would love to see/hear that.  Though him having the time for it is another question entirely.

I have personally heard it. And OMG, he absolutely should do Bob's voice. XD It's so hilariously unexpected because Jim has a very nice voice, and then suddenly he does Bob and... XD XD

And wow.... I love Clancy Morgan's work - he'd make a freakin' AWESOME Morgan! *_*

I still vote for Tennant as Harry. haha.

Matt Bomer's still pretty much the Thomas for me, but I could also go for Ben Barnes, mainly because of this brilliant fan art I saw on deviantart the other day...

hm, I need to rethink my cast list.

If you've got Matt Bomer as Thomas then Chris Pine as Harry.
They look a lot alike but Pine is somewhat more rugged in features.

Chris Pine isn't nearly thin enough in the face.

I didn't know who Matt Bomer was. Just looked him up. Hubba hubba! I could vote for him for Thomas, easy. :)

I want a young Viggo Mortensen for Harry. I saw somebody suggest Christian Bale, and that might work too.

Agree.  Besides while Harry can get emotional sometimes he doesn't go emo.  Bale does emo.

I don't think David Tennant is tall enough or rugged enough to play Harry.
He'd make a good Butters though.

I'm just messing around. He's a new favorite actor, so yeah.

So far though, the only actors I've got down is Keanu Reeves for Martin and Matt Bomer for Thomas. Thomas can also be Ben Barnes, though, especially because of this neato fanart by this girl: http://mika-merrylark.deviantart.com/

I think David Tennant would make a great Harry. He has the same kind of build I picture Harry as having (He did do a lot of running as the Doctor), and he can do manic and slightly crazy (but in a good way) very well.

Nonono, David Tennant is much too wimpy. He doesn't even register on my toughness scale.
