I agree with ... one of your choices, Tx

Lord Raith:  "Why didn't I kill you..."                           
That guy certainly looks menacing, but he's more "scarier looking than Thomas" than "better looking than Thomas."


I was kind of unsure about casting Cowl, since we don't really know who he is under that hood, but I think Alan Rickman would rock it. He can sound kind of unearthly and intimidating.

Well, using the celebrity look-alike tool at http://celebrity.picadilo.com/, I uploaded a picture of Bomer to find another actor that looks like him to play his father.

I know he's Asian, not Jewish, but I can't help thinking "Butters" every time I see Masi Oka as the coroner on Hawaii-5-0.

Agreed.

So I caught part of the old Burton 'Batman' Wednesday night, and I realized that William Hootkins' portrayal of Lt. Eckhardt is how I envision Carmichael. 

R.I.P  Mr. Hootkins, a.k.a. Lt. Eckhardt of Batman, Major Eaton of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and 'Red Six' Porkins of Star Wars.  You were in several of the best movies from my childhood, and I never knew.

That tool fails. For those who insist on Bomer for Thomas, there would be only one choice for Lord Raith:

Mine embraces it and drives me insane.  I can just hear that Japanese gobbledigook to Beer Barrel Polka, and it scares me.

Seconded. It'd be interesting to see Barrowman play a villain. And when the villain is as creepy and wrong as Lord Raith...
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

I'd see him more as Duke Ortega myself.
