Heh funny you should say that EJM, I was thinking the same thing recently. I saw the trailer for Tangled, Disney's new Rapunzel movie (which looks great btw) and Zach Levi ("Chuck") is voicing the main character. He sounds almost exactly like I picture Harry sounding... can you picture sounds? Anyway, I digress heh. But, yeah. That's when I started to think mebbe Zach could pull off Harry, but the thought of just forgoing the casting couch and animating it all crossed my mind. After all, I've seen Jim mention he always pictures the books as comics anyway, why not just animate his thoughts? I'd pay $20+ for hour/hour and a half Dresden movies in the style of the Hellboy animated films.

There we go. ...what? It'll grow back, right? Right?

;P

John Glover as Nicodemus. If you've ever seen him in Brimstone, you've been blessed heh.

I may actually have to start watching Supernatural, I'm hearing some awesome things have come out of it over the past season or so. I tried watching it once when the show first aired, and it seemed too... Charmed for Boys, to put it mildly, but it really sounds like it's grown quite a bit since then. And looking up some Ackles pictures, yeah, I could see that working too.

Thanks for the welcome

My vote went for Jared Padawhatsis, from Supernatural. Mainly because I thought he looked like the closest fit, visually. And in theory we'd have to start with a younger actor, otherwise I might've been tempted to go Olyphant... though I admit I wouldn't have thought of him without seeing him listed there. As far as Jared goes, I've never seen Supernatural so no idea what his acting's like, but I've heard great things about the show this past year so I assume he's up to snuff.

As far as Harry's features, in my mind at least, it's more his attitude, gumption and, world weariness that give him his rough looks (well that, and being a bit of a slob heh), and less any kind of Marlowesque chin-chiseling. Peter Parkerish, as I think I've seen Jim mention a few times elsewhere. Hence, Chuck heh. But I admit, I'd have to see Levi pull off the character in an audition before I was completely sold. I've only recently gotten into Chuck, and haven't seen him pull off any Harry-level badassery yet, so he'd have to convince me.

And if any of this were to actually happen, there's the fact that Levi's looking to break into movies in recurring, high profile roles as evidenced by his being in the Superman running recently. That, and he'd bring a hefty cult-following into our own cult hehe

*shuffles back off to his own corner like the sad yeti in Ringo Starr's "Caveman"*

 

*bobs and weaves through the multitude of flying sharp and/or rotten projectiles* Sheesh, you got some kind of weird, tomato-based Plants vs. Zombies knockoff going on here or what? ;P

Anybody toss Zach "Chuck" Levi into the mix for Harry yet? Seems like a natural for the role. Tall, rangy, doofus, somewhat on the dorky side but dark and charming enough to make it loveable, somewhat socially awkward, but with the ability to snark his way through any situation, broods well, AND he's able to pull off serious and action to boot.
