I liked the video!

He'd play either quite well.  Only problem is, he's usually a creepy scarey guy, so if he was playing Peabody, people immdediatley say "Aw, fuck.  That's John Malkovitch.  Peobody's got to be a villain."  Wonder who Gary Oldman would play best?

John Malkovich as Mac.

Jeff Dye as Harry Dresden. Can't load a pic from my phone, but Google him.  I'll see if I can post a pic a little later.

I could see that.  Though Ive never previously heard of him, so I dont know what his acting range is.

John Malkovich as Mac.

Sorry, no.

Too old for it now IMO, and doesnt have the...solid feel that I get from Mac.

Also, a good part of Malkovich's skill is in his delivery of lines.
Mac says so very little that it would be a waste of Malkovich's talent.
