To each their own.  I still have actors cast that have unfortunately passed away recently.  Im more casting to find a perfect real-life representation of the picture I have in my head, rather than in preparation for any future project that may actually be launched.

Yes, I've also imagined old actors, like Rita Hayworth or Cyd Charisse.

In terms of a minor Character... Steed the English warden will forever be a young Timothy Dalton in my head.
Morgan would have done it in 15 books.

I always pictured Paul Bettany

Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt, change the fates design. Save what once was lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine.

For Mdodd. Rest in peace friend.

Drip, Drip, Drop.

I picture Morgan as Daniel Craig...Having just gone through this whole thread I am suprised we don't see more fan Trailers on Youtube.

No-one really agrees on anyone.  The closest is "Matt Bomer as Thomas", but not even everyone agrees on that.  And to make a fan trailer, it would take a lot of work to hunt down actors and actresses in clips that could be 'Dresden' related.

I was thinking of taking Clips and Pieces from various actors and doing a kind of Super Cut.

I thought about doing that a while ago.  I'm not that good with video, but I made a decent AMV ages ago, which made me want to try it for Dresden.  Of course, then it became really hard to find accurate footage, and actors that people could instantly recognize as characters.

Someone did an awesome one like a month or two ago. I wish I remember how to get to it.
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.
