Perfect Casting Part Three

--- Quote from: Al-Hajj Bilal Ammar Jihad on February 08, 2015, 02:20:27 PM ---I like the one JB used for that scene--Jagger/Richard's "Sympathy for the Devil". Agree about "Werewolves of London" though. Also like Zevon's "Jungle Work" as soundtrack for when Harry, Murphy and Kincaid go in after the Vampire scourge and their Renfields.
But there's no shortage of werewolf songs that could be applied--"Super Beast" (Rob Zombie), "Bark at the Moon" (Ozzy), and one from my favorite band "The Wolf is Loose" (Mastodon); two other good ones by Disturbed and Metallica that I can't remember the titles.

For pretty much any/all title themes where the opening scene is Harry in the Blue Beetle, the song should fade out to being on the radio, then it should cut out with a squawk/squeal of feedback or something, as the radio in his car dies. Again.
For the social hour at the party in GP, an instrumental/string quartet version of "Monster Mash" should be playing as or maybe after Harry walks in.
And SPOILER (I forget if this thread is spoiler-friendly or not), "Knocking on Heaven's Door" for the end of Changes. *Obvious credits song is obvious*
And then Jen Titus' "Oh Death" for either the opening credits for Ghost Story and/or Cold Days.
You can tell that I've been binge-watching Supernatural lately because most of my music suggestions are Classic Rock...

Christoph Waltz - Quintus Cassius?
Kyle MacLachlan - Victor Shadowman?
Julianna Guill - Lasciel/Andi (if her hair is dyed)
David Koechner - Carmichael (Bruce Campbell is awesome {and a close second after Nathan Fillion for time-travel Dresden}, but as long as we're pointing out physicality/age-related problems with suggested lists, don't forget that Carmichael is fat and balding, and we'll have enough make-up budget problems already, w/o adding fat suits and bald caps/wigs.
Evil Bob should be the British one, BTW (and kind of a snob), so maybe Terrence Stamp?

I rather like these picks, I might just steal your MacLachlan pick for The Shadowman. I think however that Guill would make a better Andi than Lash/Lasciel(I've got Brit Morgan as my choice for Lash).
I personally believe that something like Carmichael being bald and fat isn't so important. To me, as long as Bruce Campbell is a little overweight and haggard looking then I feel like it's close enough. I'm looking for an actor I like that can be crass and jaded, as well as a bit of a slob, yet still be an excellent cop. I like Campbell because he can do all that as well as take a minor character that doesn't leave much of an impression in print and give him a much more memorable presence on screen. With an actor like Bruce Campbell I could see SPOILER!!! Carmichael's death in Fool Moon having a much larger emotional impact on viewers.

Another face while I'm thinking about it.
Gideon Emery for Nicodemus. Not only does he have the look, but he's got a good voice. He was on this last week's episode of Grimm, and I saw him previously on Teen Wolf. He's got a presence on the screen that would work well for Nicodemus, I think.
Emery is the guy in the elevator talking to Scott (the teen wolf).

Mm, I think he is actually too pretty for that, I would cast him as a centaur or Sidhe lord. Or a Raith.

Hell, mess up his hair a little more, don't let him shave for coupla days, and if he needs 'em give him elevator shoes, and he works for Harry...
