I'm not 100% on who, but Gideon Emery has impressed me with his bad guy performance on Teen Wolf.  I could see him doing Nicodemus, or maybe some Council member.  He could do something smaller like Victor Sells, but I think it'd be waste.

this is exactly how i imagine teenage dresden


Is that a young Hugh Laurie?

Brings an interesting thought: how about Hugh Laurie as Harry?  Not played as abusive as House, but it fits my mental image.

Yes, he is. And he is too old for Harry  :(

here's a thought.  What about him for Langtry?
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

I like Jeremy Irons better for Langtry.

I've never seen a picture of Hugh Laurie young like that.  He reminds me of Mark Hamill.

Been saying that for years!  He has the look, the arrogance, and the lurking hate just under the surface.  He's perfect!

Not old enough IMHO.  Maybe would work w/long white hair/beard.  Still think Christopher Lee is the best wizard to hit the screen.  Saruman was once part of the "other" White Council, too...

Quantus - Did you use the Duck Dynasty app for that?

I'm curious if anyone has said Idris Elba for Sanya, cause he would be perfect for that role

He'd have to bulk up some to get the Linebacker-like build Sanya has, but could definitely pull it off.
