Had an odd thought - How about Carl Urban for Harry?

Vincent Ventresca would be a great Harry Dresden!  Anyone remember the TV series "The Invisible Man" a few years ago?  Tall, lanky, good at snark and temporary insanity alike....re-reading the series, I keep hearing Vince's voice saying Harry's lines.  8)

I can see that pretty well.  He fits the descriptions, if not my personal mental image.  I tend to picture Harry as a broader and more muscular person than the descriptions.  But he definitely has the necessary snark and crazy.

Brian Dietzen might be an interesting choice to play Butters. He already has the ME role down.

True, but he isn't, in my mind, quite geeky enough.

He's a litlte tall for the part, though finding someone 5'5" or under might be tricky. But he seems to be pretty geeky in NCIS.

True but he is awful good looking.
I'm not saying Butters is ugly but from all I remember he
isn't that good looking.
There's one guy over on the, now defunct, show - Body of Proof - who might
work.  Gonna have to go Google his name.

Found him.  Geoffrey Arend.

Geeky and funny.

Arend kind of has the look for it, but to me Butters is a little better looking than him.

enough to a hottie like catch Andi at least.  And he doesnt have a Polka-enthusiast face according to my subconscious.  DJ Qualls will always be butters in my head, though.

DJ Qualls Has my vote.  He is a bit tall, but that's not a big deal.

I've never heard of him, but that picture looks like he's trying to do a circa 1990 Jeff Goldblum impersonation.

Nathan Filion has my vote based on the guy who I think could best pull of the acting, because Captain Tightpants was basically Harry Dresden... IN SPACE! But he doesn't really have the right look for it, in my opinion. That part doesn't matter as much, but it's still kind of important if they really want to capture the books. Harry's looks are a large part of his persona.

On the other side of that particular coin, I think Jared Padalecki has the right look, but I really doubt he could do the acting part. Everything I've seen him in, he's had kind of an identical vibe. And after watching Supernatural, I really doubt he'll ever be anyone but Sam Winchester in my mind.
