I know I'm coming to the party late, but I think of David Morse, when I think of Michael.

Ugh, personally, I don't like him. He looks evil. In my mind, he could play Marcone.

I always thought of Eb like Uncle Jesse in the Dukes of Hazzard.

I'm sure we've said Daniel Craig for Kinkaid, haven't we?

Ugh, gross moment there when I considered Fillion for Harry with this.  Almost yacked.

If they can act out Master/Apprentice as well as they do Father/Daughter, maybe I'd change my opinion of Fillion.  As it is, I still don't think he's right for  Harry.

Since I'm too lazy to go back through the thread and see who's been suggested, and because I don't remember who I've posted, I'm just gonna post my entire casting list. Putting it behind a spoiler tag because otherwise the post would be really long.

1)  You mis-pictured your Viggo-for-Nico.  You doubled up on Bill.
2)  Luccio 2.0 is described as a blonde co-ed, if I recall correctly.
3)  Lots of great choices.  Not much I disagree with.  Other than Pearlman as Cowl.  Pearlman would make a better Erlking.  Cowl's sounds are synonymous with a snake, with a warbling modulation that many assume is due to Fomor gills.  Pearlman would be better suited as a deep resonate character.

Alright, fixed the picture for Nicodemus. Thanks for letting me know.

As for 2, I think Luccio 2.0/Corpsetaker has dark hair. And to be honest, part of the reason I chose Zoe Saldana was just because I like her as an actress and I think she's awesome. I'm not always concerned with being 100% accurate to the books with casting.

I like Zoe too, and I think she's talented enough to look young but have the weight of experience that Luccio would require.

I'd actually pictured Ron Perlman in heavy makeup for the earlking, but I think your choice for original Luccio is spot on. The tone it would set for the character, especially in the introductory bar scene in dead beat...

audience would just be thinking "aw hell yes, Ripley is gonna kick some necromancer @$$!"

The problem with all these well-known actors is that, given the number of references to pop-culure in the series, it'd kinda stretch credibility that Harry wouldn't at least comment on the resemblance. They'd have to at least look different, or it would get ridiculous.

And I've said it before and I'll say it again, Summer Glau for Luccio 2.0. Read her physical description (from the RPG, but it's a compilation of the Books' descriptions): long, lush, curling brown hair, a sweetly pretty face, killer dimples, and nice curves. She has a Cupid’s bow mouth, a squared-off chin, and dark flashing eyes. She is 5’4” and gives off a vibe of grace and strength united.

Now look at a picture:

It's almost as if Jim had an actress in mind...

I was watching Alpha's the other night and I though put a blonde wig on her and she would make a great Murphy. Then I thought, wait a minute she is Murphy. Nothing wrong with Valerie Cruz avec blonde chapeau.
