How about Robert Redford for Pappa Raith?


Then I was thinking about Walton Groggins for Marcone.


And I could totally go with Megan Fox as Lara or Mab or Maeve but not Molly.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

I can't see the pictures, but Redford is too old. Vampires didn't age.

You know, that was in the back of my head, but I do see Pappa Raith seeming to be older than the others.

You know, maybe Barrowman as Pappa Raith.  He's certainly pretty enough, and mature enough.  I really don't see him as Marcone.

I think John Barrowman would be good for one of the White Court.
Maybe Madrigal?

Lord Raith  ;D. But yes, he could do Madrigal too.
I don't like him for Marcone, though.

I agree with you, Rasins.

So if Bomer is Thomas...



My choices for Lord Raith are either Rob Lowe, who looks like an older Bomer to me...



or Colin Farrell, who is barely older than Bomer, but could be a young ruling vampire.

Rob Lowe is a good idea.

Rob Lowe is a good call, though I dont really see it with Collin Farrel.

Another one the I can see pulling off an older sibling of Matt Bomer (as is the age difference to Papa Raith)  is

I love Walton as a bad guy, but I don't see him as a Marcone.  I can very much see Ms. Fox playing Maeve/Sarrissa

How about Walton as Lloyd Slate, the Winter Knight before Harry?

Ohhh ... how about Timothy Olyphant as Marcone?

Theo Rossi as Carlos

Michael Marisi Ornstein as Butters

He always struck me as a little too slimy for Marcone.  Marcone is described as almost Kindly seeming on first meeting.  But he would make a great Nicodemus, I think.  He has that underspoken creepiness, and the lanky build I always pictured.

There have been times I've considered Olyphant for Dresden himself.  Not seeing Marcone really.

Ornstein is too bald for Butters.  If I were going to go with a bald Butters, I'd go either Willie Garson or David Cross.
