I say ditto to this. Nicolas Cage can do expressions.

Keanu, however... well, can't.

...indeed, but he's got most of the part down. that's his only problem.

doesn't seem like he has to, as Martin.

Eh. I see Bruce Willis as Harry.
Instead of a denarian. I got a copper piece. Now I'm host to the fallen one known as Cheapassius.

When I read DF Spoilers Thread. It's like Occam's Razor be damned. :D

Except for the bald bit.

At this point is Bruce shaving his head, or is he actually bald now?

I tend to picture him like the detectiveish covers of the books but when I picture him as an actor it is definately Jared Padalecki. Alot of that is because, if you look at a hardcover copy of the Dresden comic "Welcome To The Jungle," you'll see that that artists rendition must have been based on Jared. Not kidding, his spitting image. Still, maybe Jared is too young to play him...I guess I wouldn't be hostle about someone else.

Matt Bomer as Thomas

Wouldn't that be awesome! Not the way I picture him - the book Thomas being curly haired and all - but still awesome!  He's got that vibe...he could sell incubus no problem. :D

I take it you are a huge Whitecollar fan? Personally I liked him better in the role I saw him in first, Bryce Larkin in Chuck, or his role as Tru's boyfriend in Tru Calling, but he is pretty awesome. To be that much of a fan I assume you are a girl? Or do you just think Thomas deserves a cool actor?

I...  I have to go back and state that anyone who is under the impression that HUGH FREAKIN' JACKMAN is lanky is unaware of what "lanky" means.

Lanky means tall, thin, gangly, all knees and elbows.  Hugh Jackman is built like a freaking Mack truck.  He's broad and heavily muscled, even at his leanest.  Lanky is... the guy who plays Carlton Lassiter on Psych.  Or heck, Lou Diamond Phillips until he takes off his shirt and you realize he's all ripped muscle under those narrow clothes.  Ryan Reynolds is the same way, when he's not bulking up for a movie role.  He's tall and his arms seem too long for his body and he kind of lopes along. And yes, Zach Levi is lanky or at least can appear that way.

If you need me, I'll be lying down with a cold cloth over my eyes.
We don't get just one life.  We get as many as we can cram into one lifetime.

I think Josh Brolin would make a better Nicodemus personally.

Now that guy could play Nicodemus for sure! I have never been able to picture the character very well - thoughts about how evil and intimidating he is seem to fill up that part of my brain - but I think that guy could really pull him off.

Let's put it this way. In answer to all of your questions: Yes, yes, and Yes :) I love White Collar (I've never seen Chuck, nor Tru Calling), I AM female, and I think if they cast Bomer as Thomas, Thomas' cool factor, while it is already at rampant Volcano levels of eruption, would, in fact, completely sky rocket. Thomas deserves to be portrayed by someone completely awesome, and I think Bomer is perfect for the role :)
