Who do we have for Kincaid again? I think the best one I saw was Adam Baldwin who physicaly fits the roll more but as good a villain Jeffrey Donovan could do I still still him in a badass with a heart roll.
And dident we sorta agree Hopkins would make a sweet Odin?
Speaking of Burn Notice I think we have to find a roll for Bruce Campbell. Father Forthill? Last mention of him was Anthony Stewart Head or Mark Sheppard. Now Anthony... if you have seen 'Repo! The Genetic Opera' how could you not see him as Nic? Oooo just had an idea for Sheppard, Binder.. ooo he would be perfect for that snarky roll. *basing this on attitude, dont have my book to double check his appearance.*

Bruce Cambell as Erlking

I am sure to hear something for this but.... I really like Stallone for Erlking.

Now you know how we feel GW.

No, I'm sorry Bruce Campbell is NOT the Erlking.
You need someone who can bring a LOT of menace to the role - not Campbell - sorry.

A super tall, lanky uknown actor for Harry please.

Quite frankly I would like to have not heard of anyone in a movie or series. Unknown actors all around.

All main cast really I would love to see unknowns but support rolls I like to see peole I recognize. I know I have thrown some bigger names out myself but I have been trying to pick mostly b-list people.

I suggested Bruce Campbell as Malcolm Dresden.  It made sense to me since the Xena-era Bruce would have been the perfect Harry.  So, Bruce as his dad in flashbacks would be perfect.

I think if it were put to a vote, Rutger Hauer would beat Hopkins for Odin.

I dont really want to through Bruce away on a roll we are only going to see once or twice. I think just a random guy who looks like the actor who plays harry will do. Again I like him for Forthill.

I don't see the Erlking as a menace role, more a humorous one

Tom Waits for the Erlking!

After looking at the description of the Erlking's face in Changes, I think that his face should be modeled after he should be played by Tom Waits.

Not gonna happen if the movie goes because anybody doing major funding will want performers with a proven
track record.  Sorry. 
Umm, unknown for Harry - most likely not gonna happen.  The movie will rest on his shoulders and unknown status
will make investors nervous - also probably make insurance harder to get.
Witness DUNE.  Though he can act now - Kyle McGlaughlin was not experienced enough at that time to really
do justice to Paul's character.  Movie suffered because of it.  Special effects were cheesey too.
