Not familiar with the guy himself.  From you rpost Id say 6'3" is close enough so long as they highlight his beanpoll status a bit and/or make sure to cast a short murphy.  But the face to too rounded for the sharp, angular features I imagine on Harry.

He could lose a few pounds for the role :-)  This is some of his standup (WARNING: May be somewhat offensive to some...there are swear words): http://youtu.be/7d-TkmL5BGs  My favorite is the part about the Germans (starts at about 1:45).  He was also on the TV show Whitney.

Sanya's lover.
And congratulations!! 

Ah...I missed that.  I'm on my second time through all the books and I'm just on Death Masks.  I'll be sure to look out for Rosanna.

*Just checked the Wiki...yeah, that *is* Rosanna.  Guess I've got to find a new Lash now.

@slayn - I'm just not the kind of person who keeps things - I'm not going to have him sign my badge or program just to toss it in the recycle bin. 

Dresden Files is the only thing I have ever developed this sort of attachment to and I just want to shake the man's hand, if nothing else.  It won't take any longer than signing two or three books for someone else and I'm willing to stand in line for however long it takes just to say hi.  I guess I just don't understand why you think my 10 seconds to meet Mr. Butcher is somehow less important or less of a priority just because I don't want him to sign anything.

I 'm just going to stop here because the more I sit here and think about this, the more upset I get.

This is probably going to come off as dickish, which isn't my intent, but please don't do this.  If you wait in the signing line just to take a picture, you're stopping someone else from getting their books signed.  The staff at Dragon*Con stick by their schedules like it's a religion; he has an hour per signing session and then he and everyone else are kicked out of the room for the next author (this will probably work a bit differently for the back-to-back sessions).  There was at least five times the number of people in line as actually got in the room the last time he was at Dragon*Con, and even with multiple sessions, I expect the situation to be the same this year, if not worse. 

The signing with The Missing Volume will help, but unless the new dealer rooms are substantially bigger than prior years, he'll actually get far fewer things signed during that hour because everything will be chaotic what with folks needing to pay for books (if they're purchasing from TMV) and all the other folks in the dealer room that are there to shop and don't particularly care that Jim's doing a signing.  (On the flip side, the dealer rooms are apparently a block or two away from the host hotels this year, so that might cut down on the number of people wandering about.)

If nothing else, just have him sign your e-reader, convention badge, or program.

@MetalFae - I'll probably see you at the Hour with Jim Butcher on Sunday.  My name tag will say "Andi" and I'll be the plump redhead in a Dresden-themed tshirt with a big camera.

So, for some reason...whenever I read anything about Lasciel, my mental image is of the warlock succubus from World of Warcraft...

I'm new here, but fantasy casting for the Dresden Files is how I realized I was a total fan girl so I figured this was the best place for me to start.

I've been reading through this thread for hours now, but still haven't read all of them - so forgive me if I make some repeats.

Harry - Karl Urban (although this is still up in the air) http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4042307840/nm0881631?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_sf_25
Murphy - Allison Mack (she's too tall at 5'5", but I think she is cute and she is blonde and already has the right hair cut) http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/allison-mack/images/178733/title/allison-mack-wallpaper
Bob (voice) - Jim Butcher
Susan - Cote de Pablo http://croobal.com/hot-celebs/celebpedia/cote-de-pablo-hot-pictures-information-and-bio/
Marcone - Ray Wise (although someone recently suggested Christopher Meloni and I could get on board with that)
Bianca - Daniela Ruah http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/daniela-ruah/images/10690202/title/daniela-maxim-march-2010-photo

I've read in some of the older posts that Jim Butcher has said that Alexi Denisov is the closest actor for Harry that he can think of.  I never watched Buffy, so I only know Denisov as Sandy Weathers on How I Met Your Mother and I definitely CANNOT see *that* guy playing Harry Dresden.
