ehh its not like Kindcaid has an extremely wide range of emotions, and Bale's got the build for it.  I could have said keanu.  Then you all would be like Whoa!  Kincaid knows Kung Fu

Me and my friend Jake have always had Hugh Jackman "Van Helsing" style in our minds for Harry. I don't think there's an actor who has really stood out as the absolute perfect Dresden for me, but Jackman comes pretty close.

Bit too rugged for me.  Which is a shame.

Christian Kane.  Screw Bale, he's made of wood.  And Reeves ruined a perfect Dracula movie.  Neither one belongs anywhere near this movie.

Actually i like that suggestion Warden.  (And I thought it was obvious Keanu was a joke)

You're right though, that movie was great except for Reeves' terrible accent/acting

Ooh, ooh, I've got the perfect actor for Harry!  Neil Patrick Harris!

I mean, seriously, doesn't Harry Dresden just pop into mind whenever you see NPH?!

Anyone?  Anyone?

I'll just go twiddle my thumbs and whistle tunelessly over here in my corner...

On a more serious note, I'm sure it has been mentioned before in this thread (no way am I gonna look through 260 some odd pages), but I think Ryan Reynolds would be perfect for the smart @ssery that is Harry, but I so cannot picture him physically playing the part.  Maybe if it was an animated movie...maybe.

I dunno, none of the actors on the poll really do it for me.  I thought Paul Blackthorne did a great job on the show (ducks head and waits for the flaming monkey excrement to come raining down), and he's probably the closest to the mental picture I have of Harry.  That being said, I saw the show before I read the books, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

Hmm, I'll have to think about this one...

Ryan Stiles has the height--and actually looks the height, that's for sure.  Although he's a mite old...and I don't think I can see him in the duster...and I don't think Harry is known for wearing outlandish shoes...

"And in unrelated news, to spice the character up from the book, we're casting Colin Mochrie as Mac!"

"And in further unrelated news, we're also casting Wayne Brady as Sanya!"

Ya know, can't keep things too close to the book...
