Keanu Reeves as Martin...? I would have never thought of that. I like it.

Can we have Bernard Hill (Theoden) as Ebenezar?

I always pictured Martin as sort of an everyman. Keanu... he's too pretty boy. Maybe David Thewlis (Remus Lupin) or Guy Pearce?

I'm still going with Jeff Bridges for Ebenezar. Because he's the Dude, man. Or El Duderino, if brevity isn't your thing.
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Jeff Bridges could work. I just think Theoden has more authority to his presence.

And has anyone suggested Patrick Stewart for Mac?

Speaking of casting (and I don't like the guy who played the new superman at all) but have you guys seen the ad for Dylan Dog?
I was watching it when I was at Apple trailer but now it's on TV. It reminds me of a rip off of Dresden files despite it being based off some graphic comic from what I read.

Just curious what anyone else thinks.
It has the guy who played Superman in Superman Returns and the werewolf guy from the US version of Being Human.

Yeah, I saw the commercials. I thought the same thing, but I guess really it's just a reflection of all the urban fantasy going around these days....

I think Theoden could make a good Merlin. Not so much Ebenezar. And IMHO Patrick Stewart is too dynamic for Mac.

That gives me an idea for Charity, though. ummmm.....what's her name.....lemme go look it up....ahh, here we go -- Miranda Otto, who played Eowyn. She's 44 now, she could be a good Charity.

yeah, you don't give Patrick Stewart a character who talks in monosylables and grunts. And Miranda Otto might make a good Charity. I'd have to see her in other stuff first.

I agree with Baldwin for Kincaid.  Gotta get CK in here somewhere though.



Nicodemous


I don't want to know who he suggested.  Rather, I will make my own suggestion.



What part of this does NOT scream Nicodemus?
The moribund equine has been more than sufficiently flagellated.

I think that says more about you than his acting abilities.  :-\ :P

Sir Anthony Hopkins could most certainly play the bejeezus out of Nicodemus.

Djimon Hounsou as Sanya. He looks badass: http://www.listal.com/person/djimon-hounsou

Pat Morita (Mr Miyagi!) as Shiro. Way too awesome NOT to cast.

God yes, Pat Moria as Shiro!

Could anyone see Liam Neeson as Michael?  Accent aside, I think he fits fairly well.

For Murphy, my first choice would be Clea DuVall.  She played the FBI agent who worked with Parkman in season 1 of Heroes, and she was a short haired blonde.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0245112/

I still really like Paul Blackthorn from the series as Harry.  I thought he did a really nice job.  But I could see Nathan Fillion in the role.

Anyone consider Olivia Wilde for Elaine?  Just saw her on House again, and she does the whole blotchy eyed thing when she cries, not to mention being tall, thin, pale skin, and BTW hot beyond the telling of it.  ^^  Oh, and totally bada$$.

Every time I see Clea DuVall I think of her role as the ignored-into-invisibility girl from Buffy. Doesn't scream "cop" to me. So I have to stand by Katee Sackhoff for Murph, simply because I can see Starbuck filling her wee but ass-kicking shoes.
