Haha, I like how your appreciation of Olivia Wilde requires bold type  ;D

I can't even remember all of my own choices anymore. I was looking back and it's kind of overwhelming. I will have to build me a new cast, about 90% of my original choices have changed after being on this thread for so long.

Just finished watching the BBC's new Sherlock show. The star, the actor playing Sherlock, is the perfect Harry. His name is Benedict Cumberbatch. Here are two pictures:

Why not Will Ferrell?  He's got the humour down, and showed that he can carry a staff in Land of the Lost.  He even rode a T-Rex, though I can't find pictures of it!

Murphy: "Maybe you know the monsters, Martin. But I know the guy who stops them."

Dresden: "Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?"

Dresden: "Hell's holy stars and freaking stones shit bells."

Hmm, give him longer hair and don't let him shave for a few days... might work, but I'd agree with you.

Bob: Jim Butcher. If you don't believe me, wait until the next signing/con, bring a couple of good Bob passages and beg Jim to read them. You'll be a believer.
