James Franco is very cute, but not pale enough for the White Court, imo.

I ADORE Jason Doehring, but I'm not sure Thomas is right for him. Although they call it acting for a reason. I think we lock actors into roles WE think they do best, without giving them room to stretch. Jason is pale enough, the hair would need changing. And I'm not sure how tall he is.


Dido to just about everything. And I believe he is pretty short - he looked short next to Alex O'Laughlin in Moonlight, who is medium-tall, and and he looked about average hight next to Kristen Bell on Veronica Mars, who is short. Not the most technical way to measure hight, I know, but whatever.  ;)

So I looked up that episode of NCIS (I was only able to watch that scene but I will try and watch the whole episode later) and I must confess that Michael Weatherly isn't as far off for Harry as I thought. I still have a hard time separating him from his role as "Eyes Only" in Dark Angel and I always pictured Harry with darker hair but I am working on it. He whole demenor is rather Harry-esque. ;)

admit it...you just want to see her in lingerie toting a pistol lol

Seen the video for California Girls yet?  Lingerie is probably too strong a word for her outfit in that.  8) :P  There's no pistol involved, but otherwise...

Happy to convince. I hope the whole episode convinces you further. xD

Yeah, I had her on my original list here.

I have since made many changes to that original list though. Like ASkars for Kincaid, Bruce Willis for Mac, Famke as Lara, I can't remember all my changes, I would have to reread the whole thread.

Willis would not work as mac. He talks to much. His whole screen presence is very verbal. I also dont think he would like a script wherein his character only said "hmm." the whole movie.

True, but he is how imagine Mac would look sort of.

I guess Mac doesn't really need to be anyone famous since he doesn't really say much.

Like.

Oh, wait, this isn't facebook.... well, it's the same gist. You get the idea :)
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."
