Benedict Cumberbatch as Warden Chandler or wizard peabody but Nicodemus not so much, Jeremy Irons as Nicodemus yes.
Peabody??? Nononono, that has to be some pointy-faced weaselly guy. Jared Leto comes to mind, at least in terms of a pointy face and slicked-back hair.

I'm still pushing Summer Glau as Luccio 2.0
Summer Glau as Summer Lady!

David Krumholtz as Butters?
Finally someone agrees with me.

I always picture Billy as a younger Wil Wheaton.
That I could see. Billy has a bit more... aggressive energy.

Remember when the Doctor's daughter who played the Doctor's daughter in "The Doctor's Daughter" had the Doctor's daughter? :D
Yeah, that was so awesome.

I want Will Wheaton to play as Butters.
Mmmmm.... nah. Wheaton is awesome, and is a real-life geeky nice guy, but he comes off as kind of asshole-ish on screen. I don't think he's got the right... energy for Butters.

I don't know if anyone remembers the "BBC casting" discussion we were having here some time ago, but I just saw this:



...and my thought was pretty much "Harry and Murphy."
Ahahaha! I love it!!

I don't think he is pretty enough to be Thomas though.
Have... have you seen him?

James Marsters is nearly a foot shorter than Harry as described. Just saying. (Also, he's too pretty. I think he's spot-on as Thomas in the audiobooks, too... Particularly if you listen to Backup.)

I always picture Harry as being long and thin.  Well Fillion's got the long part down, at least, but the man has too much muscle.

He's added some weight in both muscle and fat lately, but such was not always the case:



Yeah, he's older and beefier now, but if we're talking about an ideal world (at least my ideal world) Fillion would have been cast as Harry when he looked about like that. I still often picture current (most recent book) Harry looking like current Fillion, too; men tend to get a little beefier as they get into their late thirties, no matter how skinny they once were. It's just a thing that happens unless they have a magical metabolism of the gods (which some do.)
And, if you want a guy who has continued being incredibly lean as he approaches middle age, my other pick for Harry is David Tennant, so there ya go.

Yeah. Yeah, he could do it.

I like Benedict Cumberbatch's jawline...
does anyone know who Jim's casting for Thomas is? I mean, has he said anything on the subject? Someone told me there might be something in a Q&A somewhere but am not sure...
He's also said that he based Thomas on Spike from BtVS, making James Marsters the original image. He's aged a bit, though. (Would still be one of my picks because I still think he's pretty gorgeous, but it would have been better if casting had been done about ten years ago.)

I'm somewhat in the Fillion camp, but I will say right off that it's not about his features at all. Though I still think his features could work for Harry, it's about other things, like his half-smirk. Every time I read something about Harry snorting and delivering a smart-ass line to a bad guy, I imagine that smirk, and the tone of voice that goes with it. Other little things to do with tone or delivery, too. Like for example, when Harry wakes up from being knocked out and says, "The kid knows what she's talking about. ... What are we talking about?" I hear Nathan Fillion, in the same tone as his "What happened about me?" line from Firefly. When Harry gets really brutal, efficient, and dangerous, I see the look on Fillion/Mal's face when he put a bullet in someone who was threatening a young woman, or slapped a torture device on the guy who had been torturing him. When there are quiet, serious moments in the books, I hear Fillion's quiet and serious voice. So no, I don't think he looks exactly as Harry is described in terms of angular features (for that look, my vision is of David Tennant) but I can still see Fillion as Dresden, because it's his voice and his expression that pops into my head so very often when reading the books.

OMG, this. This is it exactly.

Also: Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas would be very interesting.
;D


Catching up on Being Human, and I do like Kyle Schmid. He's got the look and the potential for the presence. Benedict Cumberbatch has a voice like no other, though.

Also, on Being Human, this Dusan Dukic, playing the Reaper? He's amazing. Not sure yet who I would cast him as but... You know, he'd have the potential to play Harry, or Thomas, or Uriel, and probably any number of other roles. He's got these great, angular features and a lot of power in his presence. I'll need to see if he's done anything else.

He's on the North American Being Human on Syfy.
I need to catch up on that series. I was disappointed in what happened with the BBC version, so I kind of forgot about the American version.

then I found the picture with the longer hair.  If it were black, it'd be exactly how I imagine Thomas' hair.
It looks pretty dark in this image:


Yeah, he could be a good fit. I'll definitely catch up with Being Human so I can see what sort of presence he has.

Kyle Schmid for Thomas?


Mmmmmm, pretty!  (I'd need to see his acting before I confirmed, but... yeah, pretty.)
