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.

yes. exactly!

and the guy can act. the toughness bit could be worked on.

I just realized a good actor for Father Forthill: Anthony Stewart Head.

Just a thought -

Bruce Boxlightener (Capt. Sheridan from Bab5; Tron) for the Merlin (Handsome, dignified man, about the right age ...)

John Rhys-Davies for Eb (I know he's a mite tall for the role, but the rest of the build and the voice seem a good match)

Sallah/Gimli?  Works for me.  Still like Duval, but Rhys-Davies works too.

Well, Boxleitner can pull of some facial hair. Not sure if he'd be able to wear the Merlin's beard, though. Also, "about the right age"? The Merlin's around 300, so I'm not sure what you mean by that.

As much as I like the actors in the poll, I don't see any of them as Harry. As some one else mentioned, I can see David Remnant. Or James Marsters.

As for the rest of the cast, I haven't given it much thought. OK, actually Ian McKellan would be a great Bob.

Wait, what? McKellan is way too dignified for Bob.

Physically. But the guy has a great sense of humor. And I always imagine Bob's voice and personality being somewhat at odds. Voice of a scholar, attitude of a school boy.

Funny ... I've always pictured Bob as a tenor or very light baritone.

I just watched some Youtube video of Butcher at a con yesterday -- and he actually suggested Alexis Denisov (from Buffy and Angel) as Harry, though he seemed doubtful about that actor's age now. That may have been mentioned in this thread already, but I thought it was interesting!

Muchly and often.  I agree with it.  Not everybody does.

I could maybe go with the burnt-out-chewed-up version of Wesley. I didn't even realize Denisov wasn't British til today when I looked him up. I have an excuse for being fooled by the accent, though, since it turns out he lived in London for more than 10 years....
