Pace is too gentle for Harry. I could buy Thomas maybe.

The late Alan Rickman would have been an excellent Bob.

If we're shooting for Storm Front Dresden, dude who plays Rafael on Jane The Virgin would be an excellent Harry.

I'm just going to weigh in on my pick for Harry in this post, but I think James Purefoy would make a great HD.  If you have seen the movie Solomon Kane you can't help but think... Hey, that is Harry Dresden.

Someone with a similar look that I think is a slightly better fit is Tom Ellis.  He's doing great on Lucifer.  He's a lean 6'3", and can pull off sardonic humor and whit necessary for a proper Harry Dresden.

Him I like. Definitely the right look for Dresden.

I have a suggestion for Harry that I haven't been able to get OUT of my head, since it got IN: What about Jake Johnson (aka Nick on New Girl)?



He's 5'10" which I realize isn't ideal, but I would count on movie magic to fix that.  He's sarcastic, he's the quintessential everyman, and he's from Chicago!  So long as he can play a character a bit less goofy than Nick, I think he could be gold.

New Girl is odd for me now because I just see Harry when I watch.  :)

I have not seen him in anything, but that picture looks like Harry to me.

Doesn't he, though??  :)  Enough so to supplant my earlier pick, Josh Holloway.  Too model-esque, although based on LOST Holloway can definitely play a smart aleck.  :)

Heh.  I thought he'd make a good Butters.

So Ian McShane is slaying it at Mr. Wednesday in the American Gods trailer.

What do we think of him for Vaderrung?

I was thinking the guy that played Jeor Mormont from GoT.

He feels too old to me for Vadderung, who's suppose to be lean and athletic in his early 50's.  Perfect for Kringle, though.

I don't see your point. He is 55. and athletic enough. A touch of makeup and perfect. And he does have the look of a Nordic God. Nothing to do with Santa.

I think you're thinking of the guy who played Jorah Mormont, aka Iain Glen.  He'd be perfect is all ways I can see, fits the lean & athletic build and the right norse-ness.  The guy playing Jeor is James Cosmo, he's 68, and would make a good sword-wielding Santa. There's a line in changes that described Vadderung as what Santa might have been like when he was "young and played football", which makes me think the Santa actor should be noticeably older than the Vadderung.  And I myself tend to think Vadderung shoudl look less...weathered than Cosmo

You are correct. I remember both characters distinctly well, but I didn't remember the name of the older one (the one who gave Claw to Jon Snow). The Mormonts are the best! But I didn't remember he was called Jeor, so I assumed that wardenferry post meant Jorah and that Jeor was a nickname, like Ned to Eddard.
