Off the top of my head I'd say Grave Peril -- because it's the first one I really fell in love with, because a lot of it would be very cinematic, and because it's still closer to the roots of Harry-wizard-noir-detective. I reserve the right to change my mind. :)

Speaking of supernaturally good looks, I think the Sam Witwer -- who plays Aidan on the American version of Being Human -- is incredibly good looking. But I don't think he'd be right for Thomas.

I take some slight offense at you calling Tennant wimpy.

Hey -- if you get to call Fillion a buffoon, I get to call Tennant wimpy. ;)

Are you suggesting Mangeniello for Dresden? He looks more like Michael to me. The build is way to buff and broad shouldered for Harry. Hight is less important than build. Camera angel can make an actor look taller, but they can't make them look skinnier.   

I agree with you that he's buffer than JB's description -- but nobody is gonna be perfect. And I've already pretty much settled on my ideal for Thomas, thanks to the folks here -- Matt Bomer.

Padalecki can't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Fillion CAN do angst and drama -- he's great in Firefly -- but his face isn't hard enough. Denisof would be pretty good, but he's too old now. Jackman would be great, but for the problems you stated. Tennant is a wimp.

Here's a relative unknown whom I suggested earlier -- Joe Manganiello -- and I think he's 6'5" -- http://www.imdb.com/media/rm738427392/nm0542133

Ehhh, he just hasn't been given the chance. He's great at anger and suppressed suffering, he's lean, he's got the chin.....

How about if Viggo and Bruce Campbell had a love child? ;)

I think young or old Viggo has too much gravitas for Harry.
Not a bad thing just not a Harry Dresden thing.

He can do smartass, though. And he's sooooooo good at the world-weary thing.

TIM CURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As for Nathan Fillion, he's only 40 this year -- so definitely in the range of at least the later books so far. I think he could do well in the part, but his face really isn't hard enough IMHO. I really still want a youngish Viggo Mortensen.

I think the CrossOver from his lab is the one that Lea has had guarded to keep UglyNasties from coming in from.  And I don't think he knew of it until he got his mother's gem from Lea.

Yeah, but Leah says she's protected allllll of his apartment, not just the lab. Go back and read that recent thread -- lots of thoughts there.

What about Walken? I think there's a law that he has to show up in everything.

Does Harry need more cowbell?? ;D

I started a thread on this not too long ago. Lessee if I can find it....

Ahh, here it is. I dunno that we came up with any firm conclusions, but there's lots of discussion here:

Yes, a good movie is the sum of it's parts.
If one performer overwhelms then the movie loses it's validity.
I want to see a Harry Dresden movie where I can lose myself in the story and
NOT be seeing anyone performer but rather the characters.

By the By, I don't think Bruce Campbell for Carmichael nor particularly for Harry.
A bit too much.

Awww, don't get all serious on me. I'm busy appreciating Bruce over here..... ;D
