Call boy Thomas - Call Girl Murphy - and Pimp Dresden.
Brief pause to ROTFLMAO.
All three would be offended, and in Murphy's case probably do you serious bodily harm.

I was just thinking the guy who plays "bobby" on Supernatural, he's kind of an Ebenezer type. He could maybe fill the role?
I only just started watching that show and i see many Dresden-esque things in it.

Well, it's Chicago after all.  Lots and lots of republican congressmen looking for discrete 'company'.

'Course, they wouldn't exactly get what they were looking for if they hired out Thomas OR Murphy. Or Molly for that matter, lol.
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 like you :)

I've been pitching Jim Beaver for Ebenezer for a while :D

Now that I think about it he wouldn't be a bad choice at all.

Who? Harry as a pimp, Thomas as his ho, or Jim Beaver as Ebenezer?

Bahaha. I am a horrible, awful person. Poor Thomas.

Put a beard on him and caption it "Dammit, Hoss..." and he IS Ebenezar.

I like Duval for Eb.  It works.

He's a gigolo. Except hotter than Rob Schneider. Hehe. It's British slang for a male prostitute, escort, hustler (etc.), basically, hatshep :)

I see.  :) I guess the person hiring Thomas would get the short end of that stick given that stick, though, given that he would be taking their money and then basically eating them. If he took the job at all. Unless being with Thomas is worth dying for, like a lot of people on the "who's hotter" poll seem to think it is with Mab. Then I guess they would be getting their money's worth.  ;)

Well we already know that Thomas has no problem playing gay, given how badly he's embarrassed Harry in the past, lol. The only question is, how far is he willing to go if he's really that hungry, and there are no women in sight?

On another note:

Prentiss Benjamin for Luccio 2.0


She's 32, but she looks fairly young, yeah?

Before you suggest someone for Luccio 1.0, remember this description of her:

(page 289, paperback edition of Dead Beat)
     "The door opened and Warden Luccio came in. She was a solid old matriarch of a woman, as tall as most men and built like someone who did plenty of physical labor. Her hair was a solid shade of iron grey, cropped into a neat, military cut."

Very short description of her physical looks, given that the next portion of the paragraph goes into what she's wearing and carrying with her.
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."

Yeah, him embarrassing Harry is just hilarious! I was thinking of him getting hired by women, though. We already know how he feels about guy White Courts feeding off other guys when he said of Lord Raith, sounding disgusted, "Thankfully, his tastes don't run in that direction." Thomas just plays it up to make Harry feel uncomfortable.

As for your suggestion for Luccio 2.0 (love the discriptor)  - AWESOME! Has a nice smile like the Luccio of the books but has a mature feel as well. She has my vote 100 percent.  :)

I don't know. He's got the right attitude and acting ability for Kincaid but I always pictured him looking about 35, with brown hair down to his shoulderblades and kind of predatory features. I don't recall how JB describes him in the books, though.

Jim Butcher is my god, just so you know. Not God, but god. Please don't smite me, Lord. I need to stay alive to read Ghost Story. And Book 14. And books 15 through the apocalypse.
