So I watched The International last night, and I must say, Clive Owen is probably my new front-runner for the part of Harry. He's a little older for the role, but I think he could nail the attitude and looks. He's also pretty tall (appearing) with most actors in his scenes looking up to him.

By the way, I have always been a fan of his, but didn't really think of this option until after posting here and then seeing him in something.

Yeah, he's my new horse in this race.

Alex would be a pretty good kincaid, and tim a good nico, but i have that spot reserved for gary oldman.
i can picture alex as morgan, espescially after angels and demons

add on: OMG they remade the lady killers! im not sure if i want to kill people or see it!

I would say see it. It doesn't feel as cohesive as the original but Simmons knocks it out of the park. Hanks is pretty good, too.

he would be a good harry, and tim roth would be a good kincaid too. ( and if this ever got made, producers would be happier, because who wants to spend zillions of dolloars on a side character?)
i might have siad this before, but you know the guy that was peter parkers boss in spiderman? he would be a great mac.he used to be in show where he was bald, and i was watching it the other day and was like "wow, he reminds me of mac"

The actor you are thinkiing of is JK Simmons. He is a fantastic actor, my favorite role of his is in the recent remake of The Ladykillers. He would be a pretty good choice, actually. I picture a lot of the Dresden characters as actors that don't fit the physical description, but live up to the character's essence. So I admit, I imagine Mac as older than Dresden describes him. I also imagine Karrin as a brunette Katee Sackhoff (who is actually dyed blonde all the time), go figure. But Simmons probably matched Butcher's bill better. 

I dunno about Tim Roth as Kincaid. And I love Tim Roth. I actually think Roth might be good for Nicodemus. My choice for Kincaid is still Alexander Skarsgard. Google him if you don't know him, amazing up and coming actor who would be thrilling to watch as the . . . intense and professional killer.

*gasp* I can't believe I never even thought of Viggo as Michael! He's soft-spoken, and violent when need be, and the whole way through LoTR, he kept giving off this aura of calm... that sounds pretty much like Michael to me! I vote Viggo for Michael Carpenter! Good call, Sandman :)

Yeah, I like him for it, too. Just his air of family duty in A History of Violence and his sword fighting in LoTR.


I have never seen Stargate: Atlantis, so I don't really know who Joe Flanigan is... And I heard somewhere that JB originally wanted to have JM audition for Harry on the Syfy show, but James wouldn't leave his kids. (Which is both awwww! :) and Awwwww! :( ) And yeah, his height was definitely an issue, lol. I've heard about ten different accounts, saying he's anywhere from 5'7.5" to 5'11". However, James' hair is naturally afro-ish (you should see pics of him from his high school days -- so funny), so I think that leads to a lot of improper conclusions about his height. He would have had to wear lifts or something to achieve the right height.

I'll do some thumbnails for Joe Flanigan below. Marsters is supposed to be 5'9.5" according to most sources. I think ppl focus to much on the height. If Harry needs to be made tall, a lot of medium height actors could play him and make him appear tall.

Click on thumbnails for larger versions.

some thoughts:

Karrin - Katee Sackhoff (if you've only seen her in BSG you may not agree, watch her Bionic Woman spots or The Sentinel).

Eb McCoy - Brendan Gleeson (28 Days Later, Harry Potter films)

Morgan - Mel Gibson (Braveheart, We Were Soldiers)

Luccio 2.0 - Jessica Biel (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, London)

Michael - Josh Holloway (Lost) or Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings, A History of Violence)

Butters - Simon Pegg (Star Trek, Shaun of the Dead) or Butters from South Park, you decide.

Marcone - Bill Duke (I know he does not fit the physical description at ALL, but something about the way James Marsters reads Marcone, makes me picture a soft-talking Bill Duke).

Erlking or maybe Kincaid - Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood, Generation Kill)

Sadly, I can think of no actor qualified to play Harry in all respects, so here's a list of some that work for different reasons: James Marsters. No way can he hit the height mark at 5'9", but he kills the soul and voice of Harry. Joe Flanigan from Stargate: Atlantis may have some of the looks/attitude down, but probably not the acting chops or the light-hearted side of Harry.

Is there any news on when/if this will be adapted to actual comics?

Sorry if this posted elsewhere, I could not find it with search.
