Did you mean Harley the second time?

Well. Given that Harley becomes an incredibly large, hairy, frightening wolf animal in Fool Moon, and Jackman has actually played a wolfman before (I'm not talking about the incredibly hairy, incredibly awesome Wolverine, although that was a treat; I'm talking about the CGI werewolf that he "became" in Van Helsing), I wouldn't say no to it :)
No, I meant that Harry describes him in his mind as 'overly masculine', which fits Jackman very well.  And I absolutely loved Van Helsing, I wish that it could have become a series as intentioned  :-\

As for Sean William Scott - he could be Ramirez, of course :P

While on the topic of Fool Moon, who agrees with Hugh Jackman for Harly MacFinn?  He fits Harry's "overly masculine" stereotype fairly well, IMHO.

I just picture the Erlking looking more like a Teutonic Knight... something like this:



To that end, the actor underneath the armour isn't entirely in need of having huge acting chops - the Erlking could very well be CGI in his appearances.

Wow!  Peter Wingfield as Nicodemus, definitely!

Give him the duster and staff and that's done, in my opinion.  I still stand by Chris Evans :D

Sorry, but I really don't see Viggo Mortenson as Michael.  He does grungy, emotional roles (The Road, Appaloosa) far too well to be relegated to a paladin.  Even if he is Aragorn (minor squee!).

I'd much prefer him to be an antagonist, or someone hindering Harry rather than helping him - such as Morgan, or Lloyd Slate.

I agree with the Murphy nomination - rereading the series now, and casting as I go :) she fits perfectly.

Interesting, guess I'll do a partial list of my own:
Harry Dresden - Chris Evans http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0262635/ Specifically check Push for his action and grungy abilities, and the Fantastic Four films for wit and wryness as the Human Torch.
Thomas Raith - Brad Pitt.  The first Dresden Files book I read was Small Favor, and I immediately pictured him in that role.
~Papa Raith - Vincent Cassel.  See Ocean's Twelve for the raw menace he can portray, and just as quickly change it to suave affability.
~Lara Raith -
Ebenezar McCoy - Rip Torn.  The man's name and look bring to mind images of an aging wolverine, which I think suits Eb perfectly.
~Ancient Mai -
~Arthur Langtry - Sir Ian McKellan.  I would've said Sirs Ian Holm or Christopher Lee, but the first is kind of on the small side and Lee is too outright-menacing :D
~Joseph Listens-to-Wind -
~Martha Liberty -
~Rashid - Alexander Siddig.  He played the man Orlando Bloom spared in Kingdom of Heaven, who turned out to be Saladin's Chancellor.  A very witty, but grave, guy.
~Aleron LaFortier -
~Gregori Cristos - Bill Nighy.  He'll be playing Rufus Scrimgeour in the last Harry Potter film, which I see as kind of similar in appearance to this role.
Michael Carpenter - Jeremy Irons.  Seen the Kingdom of Heaven?
~Molly Carpenter - Dakota Fanning.  Again, see Push.
~Charity Carpenter - Sandra Bullock.  Yep.
Mab -
~Maeve - Megan Fox.  I hate hate hate her, which I think would be great fuel for this role.
~Lloyd Slate - Viggo Mortenson.  I think it would be a great role for him, definitely breaking the mould from how he usually performs.
~Leahansidhe -
Uriel - Morgan Freeman.  He's done God before, yeah, but I can't get him out of my head for playing Uriel (all shape-shifting aside!).
Mac - Bruce Willis.  Done.

Wooh!  I'll fill in the blanks later.

I think that Vincent Cassel would be the perfect Lord Raith - he brings a whimsical, serial-killer quality smothered in suaveness that suits the character well  :)
