I think the general consensus is that JB is supposed to do Bob.

After watching him in The Wire and Luther, I really think Idris Elba would make a good Sanya, but he's a bit old for the role.

My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Here are some of my choices (I may be horribly wrong on some of them but its my head and it pictures what it wants)

Harry: David Tennant (Have you seen him in fright nights previews?)
Murphy: Kirsten Nelson
Michael: I picture Joe Manganiello but I am not 100% here. If you mixed him with Sean Bean it'd be perfect
Marcone: I may be off my rocker but Ralph Fiennes
Butters: Neil Grayston
Billy: Shawn Ashmore
Mac: I saw it mentioned on here and now I completely picture Adam Baldwin with some make up and a bald cap.
Captain Nicklehead: Has to be Gary Oldman, I saw that on here and was like "YES, that is what I see in my head already"
Ebeneazer McCoy: John Mahoney
Thomas: I have no clue, I kind of comic book characters when It hink of the Raithes in my head so good luck with that.
Mouse: A Lion you've dyed and taught how to bark.
Molly: Maybe a blonde Addison Timlin?

Anyway just some guesses I am sure if I wasn't so lasy I would have read all 277 pages and seen some better suggestions.

=Gary Oldman

=Michael Sheen. If you've seen the Doctor Who episode "The Doctor's Wife" then you know he can do deep and intimidating. (He was House)

David Tennant...I'm unfamiliar with that actor...  ;D

As far as acting is concerned, I think he would make a phenomenal Harry, but unfortunately, he can't pull off the physicality of the role, I don't think.

I didn't think he could either but some of the previews for Fright Night it may be possible.

Well, if we went with David Tennant as Harry, the Elisha C. would be about the right height to play Molly, then!  :D

I always thought that whilst Molly is attractive (she's a good guy, and so OFC she is), she wouldn't be celebrity level. She'd be attractive because she's a fit girl, who takes care of herself, and is reasonably powerful in her own right - she isn't a wallflower personality.

I don't have any recs for what I'm thinking she looks like though. Maybe 16, 7, 4,3 or (my choice) 2, from http://www.2dorks.com/gallery/2007/0425-sexiestathletes/index.shtml

Although that's more bodytype/general figure than actual person to select - maybe for Charity instead?
