Oh, and he's another pic that shows a little bit more of that Thomas attitude.

Actually, I've only seen a couple of episodes of White Collar.  Most of my exposure to him was in Chuck and Tru Calling.  ;)  I ... er... I think I'll give Texas Chainsaw Massacre a skip, though.  Eeeuugh..

Lol! I haven't actually seen that one, either...but I know the type of part he plays and I know its different from his other roles so I figured it might help convince people to stop type-casting him as the pretty-boy he plays in "Whitecollar." (I don't care much for gory-for-the-sake-of-gory movies either...I watched "30 Days Of Night" the other day and at the end I was like "now what was the point again?") What was your opinion of Bomer based on his "Tru Calling" and "Chuck" roles? (For my part, I first fell in love with him as Bryce in "Chuck" - a much cooler role, in my opinion, than his character in "Whitecollar.")  ;)

Based on Talent, Size, and general appearence, I have 2 nominees to back.
For Thomas - Matt Keeslar.  He's played the good-guy (Middleman!), and the evil bastard (Dollhouse) excellantly and looks about right to me.
For Murphy - Kristen Chenowyth.  About the right size coloring and shape, and unmistakable acting chops.

Kristen Chenowyth is awesome, and she looks the part, and could probably play it, but I think her voice would be too high, and she would come off as too happy/perky/bubbly.

I think she could do it. The real problem is our concept of her as not serious. She was serious on West Wing and for 3 minutes on Glee, it's just she is so good as the cheerleader type.

It's the voice.  I can't stand her voice.  There's something... high-pitched, nasally, grating, *something* that is like fingernails on a chalkboard.  I can't watch anything with her in it.

True, and yet she did an amazing job on Broadway in Wicked, I think. The woman can SING!

She can belt, that's for dang sure.  Teeny-weeny woman, huge voice.  It's like you want to check her over for loudspeakers ("Sorry, Ms. Chenoweth... here's your bra back.")  The first time she was on Glee, I had trouble making it through her numbers.  But when she was on the second time, her version of "One Less Bell to Answer" didn't grate for some reason.

I like Kristen Chenowyth, but I don't think she could pull off "tough cop" very well.

All the more Murphy-ish, though. Don't forget, Murphy's "cute" and has had to work really hard to get guys to think of her as more than a muffin.

I first saw Bomer as Bryce briefly and then got into WC. I think the Bryce part would help him play Thomas. He was a very Thomas-esque character I think. Very unpredictable, mysterious... kind of dangerous but still snarky. I think Matt can pull of Thomas. I see him as Thomas now. It's weird to read a book for the first time (Changes) and as soon as Thomas walks into the scene you see Matt Bomer automatically and I wasn't even thinking about it. It just happened and I started to smile so big I had to stop reading cause I was getting all excited about my subconscious casting him. It was just so vivid in my mind. He fits. He has the style. :D

I won't stop cheering for him to be Thomas.



Look at his beautiful handsome face and try to turn your eyes! TRY IT! ;) (honestly if that pic was my wallpaper on the PC, I wouldn't turn away. *giggles*)

Seriously, I went brain dead just enough that I started looking for the "RETWEET" link on this before I snapped out of it and remembered that I wasn't on TweetDeck.

At the very least, even if Bomer doesn't get a unanimous AYE as Thomas, we can all agree that he's very pretty and very distracting :)
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."

I would agree with you (MIDDLEMAN!!!!!!!!!) but Christen Chenowyth (awesome as hell though she may be) is far too old now. Can you believe she's still a virgin?????
