I like my cracktheory that Thomas modeled his ridiculous French accent after Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.

I was suspecting that he had actually gone out and read some Anita Blake on a "how do vampires who have to live in the real world get on ?" research basis...

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

This is full of yes.  Thomas does Jerry Orbach doing Lumiere.

I always pictured Rawllings as Reginald VelJohnson. He was pretty good in Die Hard.

My friend stood behind Vinnie Jones once in Starbucks and he said that Vinnie would be a perfect Cujo Hendricks

Bryan Greenberg would seem like a good Vincent sarcastic and smart.

I agree with Carl Winslow and Bryan Greenberg, but I feel like Vinnie Jones is a)Not thick enough (physically) and b)I don't think he can do an American accent.

Look up this guy: David Chokachi (some images were NSFW)
OMG some of the pics under google... I want him playing Harry! *rrrowrrr!*

And this guy could make a good Senior Council person or maybe Nic: Tony Amendola

He is a good F Murray Abraham look alike. I always mistake him for him.

Didn't he play Salmon Rushdie on that episode of Seinfeld?

Yeah that 2nd actor did... Tony A... he's the one I always think is a dead ringer for F Murray Abraham.

A thought occurs...Patrick Warburton as Micheal.

It took 2 seasons and the start of a third for me to be convinced, but now I am:  Adam Baldwin should play Mac.  He is very good at communicating a great deal of info via grunts.

Inspired!  I never would have thought of him.  The more I think about it, the more I like it.

He works... I pictured Mac a little older, but I can see Adam Baldwin doing the quiet man you don't want to annoy.  And he's got that "you're really being an idiot" non-expression down pat.
