Because i don't see nic as being old
Yep.. "The Man" version of Westen would have been my thought too, this was one of my more favorite "themes" the actor played on the show.

of course he isn't black enough , he is samoan! not of african descent. but I did think of him for Sanya.
great now I've forgotten what I was going to suggest.

He's actually Samoan AND black (African-Canadian, to be PC about it), but as I said he doesn't look much black.
I turned back to my table, leaned forward, and banged my head gently on the wooden surface. Several times.

Willem Dafoe might make an interesting Marcone.  He could pull the ominous bit off quite well.

Dafoe is menacing, yeah, but it's a 'crazy' menacing, not calculating.  Too Green Gobliny for me.

Jeremy Irons for Nic and Neeson or Clooney for Marcone works for me.

I had this image of Frank Oz doing the voice of Bob.

My two Cents

I see Timothy Olophant ( as in live free or die hard ) as marcone. Little older gray hair and tons of menace
Josh Duhamel as kincaid. He got that lean wiry look and can pull off bad ass.
Elisha cuthberta as Lily
Sasha alexander ( Kate from NCIS ) as elaine
I know she isnt blond but i see Robin Tunney as murphy, small fierce and tuff..
Amanda Righette as Lea tall smokin hot and red head
Eric Dane as Michael big tall could be kind and also fist of god

Just some of what i picture when i read the books. agree or disagree as you see fit ;D

Leo is a great actor but he has no menace to him, no cold hearted ruthlessness

You mean Danny from Las Vegas?  I dunno, he seems to me to be the solid "The Side of Good" sort.

Then again, I'm only on season 2.

I have always pictured Butters as a Gene Kelly sort...

Not so much helmet haired, of course.
 

Sorry, I have to disagree.  Gene Kelly was incredibly athletic.  I just don't see Butters as that guy.  More of a Mr. bean/ Rowan Atkinson as in Never Say Never Again.

I agree with this, especially with Robin Tunney as Murphy. I usually don't have much of an opinion as far as the cast goes, except for the following roles:

Bradley Cooper as Kincaid - I wasn't even familiar with Bradley Cooper as an actor when I started reading the books. I always picture Kincaid exactly like him.

Ewan McGreggor as Micheal Carpenter - After seeing Ewan McGreggor's performance in Angels and Demons, I'm convinced he could be Micheal "The Fist of God" Carpenter. Especially with the line from Gravel Peril "Don't yada-yada the Lord, Harry. It's disrespectful."

Summer Glau as Karrin Murphy - I think Summer Glau is a talented actress. I know from watching Firefly and Serenity that she could handle the physicality of the role. And to me her stature and cute nose all but scream "MURPHY!"

I'm of the opinion Robert Downey Jr. would be a Great Harry.  Admittedly, he is too old, but only so many actors could deliver a line like "Wylie Coyote, supergenius." and pull it off.
