  I honestly have only one mental description for Kincaid. Intimidating. All else matters not.

See, I tried to say about 150 pages ago that Colin Farrell is how I always picture Kincaid.  Lean muscle, dark look, etc.  (He'd just need a little more tone)

And folks were like "No, no, Colin Farrell can't be Kincaid, he doesn't have blond hair." 

And I was like, "We can give him blond hair."

And people were like "No, don't cast for fake hair color when there are others with the right hair color."



Jason Statham
Hmm...

No.  He doesn't have ANY hair.

For me is not. Colin Farrell is just wrong.

Forget the hair.  We need someone vaguely Eastern European looking who can play dangerous.  Statham fits the bill.

For the record, Statham was born in Derbyshire, UK, which is only 203 miles closer to Eastern Europe than Dublin, IRE, where Farrell was born.

I concur.

By the way, presuming you've seen TDKR, you should change/add your sig quote to his line.



Real hair.

Well, it was the best I could find  :-[

I still think we should give a position to vinnie Jones. I was thinking Hendricks, but he could be Kinkaid.

Doesn't matter where he was born.  He looks like he could be Russian mob and Hollywood can do wonders for hair.

Jeffrey Donovan is my choice for Harry.  He's just 6ft tall which is about 7in short of being book accurate but hes got that handsome with out being pretty look and his character in Burn Notice is similar although better trained and more educated than Harry.  Plus, Jared Padalecki is a solid Thomas Raith and he looks like he could be Donovan's half-brother.  Jared is 6ft 4in but I can live with minor height differences from the books.  Other cast selections would be Kristen Bell for Karin Murphy. Eliza Dushku for Susan Rodriguez.  David Tennant is my Waldo Butters.  I have other choices but tell me what you guys think.

They ar quite good, but I am with most people here about Thomas. He is Matt Bomer.

Agreed.  And I never thought Id really settle on a Harry, but I really think Michael Fassbender fits it very well, both in terms of look and of acting range.

Matt Boomer is a really good choice for Thomas.  Michael Fassbender feels like a Marcone to me or Nichodemus.  Anna Silk would be a good Lara Raith.  Zoe Saldana for Tera West.  Charlize Theron, Olivia Wilde, and Emma Stone could play any variation of fairy Queens.  Mila Kunis for Justine.  I could go on and on but i can only match them to the closest actor/actress I know about.  Hugo Weaving and Michael Chiklis I just want to be in it somewhere.  Hugo for Merlin and Chiklis for Carmichael is i had to pick right now.  Only Wes Studi can play Listens-to-Wind.
