I can so see Wilford Brimley as Ebenezer...right down to the 'stache....8)

I think Brimley is too grumpy grandpa for Eb.
Eb is older but I suspect you don't think of him as a curmudgeon but rather as someone older who's still dangerous.

Lol - wouldn't that be "World's End?" ;)

I picture her as much better looking than that - not hot or anything but like an elegant and poised young woman whose time has passed.

I like the idea of Christopher Lee (aka Saruman) playing Langtry. Largely because Lee does an excellent bad guy and I have my own opinions/suspicious about ol' Langtry and where his loyalties lie.

Not Liev Schreiber - seems too unintelligent and thuggy to me. Yeah, I know - Harry likes to villify Morgan. But filtering past Harry's heavy bias, he's definately an intelligent and non-thug kind of guy. I'm kind of thinking Tim Roth could do a good job, although I'm not sure if he's too small and sneaky-seeming to play the generally straightforward Morgan.

Not Sean Bean (aka Boromir) for Michael I'm afraid. I'm a huge Michael fan and I really don't get the right vibe from him, although I'd like to see him play someone else - maybe even Kincaid.
I think it is important to rememb er that Ancient Mai is Ancient even by wizard standards.  I definitely don't think there should be any girlish or young womanly features.  She should be imposing, regal, even elegant in her dress sure.  But I think she should look like someone's tough ass great grandma who seems to power on by sheer force of will.

In one of his twitter posts, Jim said that Clancy Brown would be Morgan.
Now, I give you proof.

My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Land's End/World's End...you got the point.

Michael would have to be fairly buff, and a good actor.  Can play righteous, fatherly and badass. 

As for the voice of Bob...I think Tim Curry did great in the TV show.  Let him be Bob again.

 For Harry, what about Kevin Durand. He's big, can look mean, and was a stand-up comic once. Seems like a good fit.

Yeah I am ignoring the bandwagon fan that is WJM above me because like i said he is a bandwagon fan


No, Decaprio is NOT a Marcone.  He can do bad ass but not at Marcone's level - he's also too young.

.  I agree or disagree based on how I  see the character.  I'm still pulling for Geofrey Rush for Morgan.

I imagine this guy As Ebenezar, though he isn't exactly an actor.

Wait, what? Are we talking about the Dresden Files TV show? Because Bob was not played by Tim Curry. The actor was Terrence Mann. I am, however, fully in support of having Tim Curry in some role. Because he's awesome. I still stand by Eddie Izzard as Bob's voice. But whoever we choose, they must be british. I can't imagine Bob without at least a slight British accent. Apart from Marsters, of course.

Also, I finally found someone who could probably do Marcone; Mark Harmon (Gibbs on NCIS). And please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like John Barrowman with grey hair.

Hmmm...

Bellmaker, you might be onto something with her.

I, for one, vote that no discussion of football should occur in this thread. Too much potential for getting off topic.
