Balfour (mistyped previously) also does a great snark, which is necessary for Harry. That's what Blackthorne had going for him.

Here's one I made for Bryant a while back. I agree that he has the tall, lean look that Harry needs. With some stubble, he almost looks tough enough. I always thought his eyes were a little soft.
Then again, I've also recommended Zachary Levi. He also has the tall lean look, and can snark a little better than Bryant. But my concern with him is whether or not he can do the badass Harry.
I think Eric Balfour is still the best of the candidates available, even if he's got too much muscle. And I think, if you cast him, then you have to cast Justin Hartley as Thomas. They've got similar builds, but to me, their faces are similar enough to hint at a share relation (just need to dye that hair). I've posted a shirtless pic of Hartley so that the ladies can yay or nay his Thomas-ness.
Dina:
Perfect! I always loved Green Arrow. Ehmm...I mean, I am not totally convinced about his Thomasness. Do you have more evidence to analyze? :P

Eh, I still think he's Close Enough on physical look. I would be disappointed if Harry (late story harry anyway) where any lankier than him, and his Long horse-face helps with that illusion. He's especially good if they Cast in the direction of Harry's self-image, rather than his base outward appearance, because Balfour is far from the traditional male image of beauty. Also agreed that Justin Hartley would be a perfect Thomas to his Harry, he's the perfect Pretty-boy version, with enough similarity to easily be believable half-brothers.
What does it for me though is that he has the attitude perfectly: he's the light and snarky jerk that you can occasionally tell is just using that to hide a barely seen ocean of Boiling rage, from having to make too many hard Choices. His cursed smuggler in Haven get's it dead on.
the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
Though I did not think much of True Detective season 2 on a script or direction level, it has good enough acting in it to convince me that Rachel McAdams could play Karrin Murphy and Vince Vaughn could play Johnny Marcone.
Dina:
I agree. I actually thought the same when watching True Detective.
