Perfect Casting, part 2

[Griffyn612]

I like Benedict Cumberbatch's jawline...He's also said that he based Thomas on Spike from BtVS, making James Marsters the original image. He's aged a bit, though. (Would still be one of my picks because I still think he's pretty gorgeous, but it would have been better if casting had been done about ten years ago.)

I used to be a Matt Bomer supporter, but as my choice castings get older, I have to re-evaluate.  Currently supporting Kyle Schmidt for Thomas.

[NeuroHeart]

Yeah. Yeah, he could do it.

[Mr. Ghostbuster]

I'd be willing to support Nathan Fillion as Harry (as if my opinion really matters) if he was ten years younger,  assuming of course they start the films at the beginning of the series.

Mmm...Fillion is a little too....what's the word...pudgy, I guess.  I always picture Harry as being long and thin.  Well Fillion's got the long part down, at least, but the man has too much muscle.

He's added some weight in both muscle and fat lately, but such was not always the case:



Yeah, he's older and beefier now, but if we're talking about an ideal world (at least my ideal world) Fillion would have been cast as Harry when he looked about like that. I still often picture current (most recent book) Harry looking like current Fillion, too; men tend to get a little beefier as they get into their late thirties, no matter how skinny they once were. It's just a thing that happens unless they have a magical metabolism of the gods (which some do.)
And, if you want a guy who has continued being incredibly lean as he approaches middle age, my other pick for Harry is David Tennant, so there ya go.

This. Please.

[Big Daddy Sin]

New to the board, bu just had to throw in my opinion.  For some reason I've always pictured Harry as Adrien Brody.

I kind of like your list, but my problem is Tennant as as Harry.  To me, Harry is American.  Grew up in the West, spent time in the South, before settling in the Midwest.  He's as American as Indiana Jones.  I like Tennant, and would love to see him in the Dresden Files in some capacity, but not as Harry.

They already stole Batman!  I won't let them have Harry too!

My image of Harry is a lot like Adrien Brody, but I just find the guy obnoxious.  I don't know why.  It's a failing of mine.

[Chiana]

James Marsters is and always will be Harry for me.  He is so spot on on the audiobooks that I can't imagine anyone else other than him.

[Snowleopard]

^
Agrees whole heartedly.

[NeuroHeart]

James Marsters is nearly a foot shorter than Harry as described. Just saying. (Also, he's too pretty. I think he's spot-on as Thomas in the audiobooks, too... Particularly if you listen to Backup.)

[Chiana]

I would sacrifice the height difference for him to be Harry.  I don't think he is pretty enough to be Thomas though.

[Snowleopard]

The height thing can be dealt with - and not a lot of actors are as tall as Harry is supposed to be.
He might not be as pretty as Thomas is supposed to be but
he most certainly could play the part of a seductive vampire.
(Would that be type casting? )

[NeuroHeart]

I don't think he is pretty enough to be Thomas though.

Have... have you seen him?

[Chiana]

You know what would be funny?  To have Marsters cast as Harry and David Boreanaz cast as Thomas?   

I don't see Marsters as "pretty" as in like a model.  More devilishly handsome and a bad boy, they way I think of Harry.

This guy is pretty...



I'm sorry, what was I talking about?
