honey, you don't know how old the... um, ignore this sentence too, please. I refuse to answer any questions that may arise with this sentence. xD

Doesn't matter anyway, Jaeh. He's engaged to a TWENTY-FOUR year old. *pouts* Way to kill my dreams, James. Apparently, 25 is too old for you :-\

I think this thread is rapidly descending out of PG-13.   ;D

Ah-ah-ah! I censored myself! :D

G'mornin'. Not precisely sure what happened; I just remember reading something about some neurological deal, IIRC.

*edit* Bell's palsy (according to Wikipedia):

Seems he's better now; good for him.

Well, I'd hope so, it's been six years :D

I was watching Angel Season 5, and I never even heard that he'd been ill! I'm very surprised by that. Thanks for the info. Glad he's better.

Oh.  Pierce Brosnan had that for awhile too. 
Glad to hear that he's better.  I liked his character a lot, like him too.  I think I'm a sucker for Brits to tell the truth.  At least some Brits. 

And men who do their accents so convincingly you think they ARE British?

Seriously, I had no idea that Alexis and James were not British. Alexis was born in Salisbury, Maryland and James was born in Modesto, California. I heard rumors that on Season 2 of Buffy, not even the cast and crew knew that James wasn't actually from England. He based his accent off of Anthony Stewart Head's real accent.

It's what he does.  Head is a brilliant actor.

Realistically as far as age goes, it's still Lee Pace for me, out of the guys that are young enough to truly do this role currently.

Ignoring age, I say Clive Owen.

What we really need is a new poll. I'm curious to see what 130 pages of casting conversations have done for the popular views on casting Harry. We have so many more people in the running now (*lobbies for James Marsters*.)  ;)

Unfortunately no one has any control over the poll anymore. I started the poll originally in another thread but when that thread merged here I no longer had any control over the poll.

From my experience though Alexis Denisof would win if a new poll was started.
Denisof because that is JB's pick, and from Whedonverse.

Thomas seems to be the second most popular character, but I already know that most of the people in the forum would vote for Matt Bomer.

I haven't really loved any of the Murphy choices, but Sarah Michell Gellar would win because there are just too many Whedonversies here.  :-X

Ironically Nathan Fillion is from the Whedonverse too, hence his winning in this poll.

James Marsters, also Whedonverse.

Matt Bomer may be the only non-Whedonverse actor in this, though he did star with Whedonverse actress Eliza Dushku in Tru Calling.

Does anyone else see a pattern?

However if a new poll was started for Harry, I would say cut off everyone with less than 10 votes, even though that would eliminate 2 of my favorite picks.

That's a good point. Do you mind if I create a new poll just to check on how the Harry votes stacks up now? I don't want to take traffic away from this thread but I'm just really, really curious to see the numbers. I'd list all those with 10 or more votes from this poll plus James Marsters and any other actors with significant followings on this thread.

I don't mind, but it's not really up to me as none of these threads are mine anymore.

Once you start a new poll you might go to Site Suggestions and see if it can be merged here, and the new poll put in place the old one.
