If I was going to cast myself as someone in the books, it would be a young Morty. I've got the build described in the books for it.

For Mdodd. Rest in peace friend.

Paul Blackthorne who is now appearing as a regular on the new Fox TV show - Arrow.

CW, actually.  Basic Channel 18, I think, former WB Network.

Green Arrow is Supernatural's newest little Brother.  And I think it's going to be awesome.

James Marsters is the only Harry Dresden I could see.  I've listened to him for 12 books and see him as Harry in my mind.

he certainly hass the angular, wiry build.  Not sure if he is tall enough, but then that sort of extreme height difference is something that generally doesnt play as well on screen; it makes framing the shots too difficult

No, Marsters isn't really tall enough - but, like you said, that kind of height difference
makes framing shots really difficult.  And you can work around it.
Paul Blackthorne was a lucky find in that he is just slightly over 6' 3"

He's not how I've traditionally pictured Butters, but he's impressed me with his acting on Alphas.  I picture Butters as short and wiry, with curly black hair.  He could pull that off with his height (5'9"), he's pretty thin, and has the right color hair.

He's also one of the intern guys on Bones.  Totally different character.  Seriously, this guy has game.

I think he would do it very well!

I just posted this same idea on Facebook, going to see if I can stir up interest in the novels among my ordinary friends.  (making you all extraordinary of course)

He was my favorite of the Bones interns and I didn't even notice Gary was him until I heard Cartwright speaking with his normal accent in one of the behind the scenes bits..

Seriously? I think he was playing more or less the same character, so it was very easy for me.

Unless the person is really famous or somebody I really like who I've watched in numerous roles over the years I'm horrible at noticing things like that. Plus I have better ears than eyes so probably 9 times out of 10 when I do notice its by thier voice.
