Even though I LOVE Keanu Reeves, I have to agree with WJM on that call.  Also with the no-go on Tom Cruise and Christian Bale.

Woah i let the tom cruise go but christian bale is actually a great actor. I saw fighter and my opinion of him improved immensly he just showed so much versatility in that role it was amazing plus the prestige an amazing movie all around i think he would make a good nicodemous

I think TC, CB and KR are the same type of actors. One expression ones.
I know many people says Bale is a good actor but he never transmits anything to me.

The only thing Bale transmits is surly and you need way more than that for Nick.

Tom Cruise is the same size as Murphy. Not clever. He could play Murphy I suppose if he dyed his hair blond.

Grey Warden, please just stop. It's not funny, it will never be funny. If you're trolling, then you've taken it too far. If you're serious, then you really need to know that most of us do not share your opinons on the skills of certain actors, and it is unlikely that we will ever change our minds.

Look, I think that Cruise, Bale, and Reeves have all made some good movies. But they are not suited for anything in the Dresden Files. It's bad enough Keanu is apparently being cast as Spike in the live-action Cowboy Bebop movie, we don't need him messing up the Dresden Files too. And Tom Cruise is barely relevant anymore.

Bale's an ok actor. Haven't seen Fighter, but I liked the Prestige. Nevertheless, he's certainly not the right actor for Nicodemus.

(Sorry if this comes off a little harsh. I've had a lot of stuff to do for school lately, and the workload makes me a little short-tempered.)
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.
