Perfect Casting, part 2

And Priscellie will thank you for it!

I liked Matt Bomer for Thomas the moment I saw the first White Collar poster on a New York City bus.  When I saw the pilot, he *became* Thomas in my mind.  He had a sort of predatory charisma that felt pitch-perfect for our favourite vampire.  Said predatory charisma was toned down in subsequent episodes, but the pilot proved to me he could pull it off, both aesthetically and dramatically.

and he has those crazy eyes as I call them... and he's a cute Texas boy

zOMG! if you didn't think Matt Bomer was Thomas before... think "Grave Peril" and look at this:

I love you.

I saw that and could imagine him with those wings from Thomas' outfit and the sword
*giggle teehee giggle swoon*

That's the problem with characters in literature who're hotter-than-hot.  They don't translate. 

Sure, Matt Bomer's good-looking, don't get me wrong. But he doesn't trip my trigger.  Thomas trips everyone's trigger, even some guys and not the gay ones.  Sure, a good portion of that is White Court allure, but still. 

It wouldn't matter who played Thomas, there'd be a sizeable chunk of the audience saying "Meh.  I don't see it."

I think for Thomas, you need to pick Harry first and then grab a guy who looks kinda the same but better-looking and dub him Thomas.

hmm...though kali's point is well understood someone would need to be cast, and this Bomer guy is the best I have seen so far...

This coming from a straight male should carry some weight...or is that my ego?....

Malkovich, malkovich malkovich.

I think Orlando Bloom would make a decent Thomas.

Nah; he's too much of a milksop.

Malkovich, malkovich malkovich.

I love John Malkovich but he's not handsome enough to play Thomas.  Nicodemus or Peabody, absolutely, though as the man really can act.

He'd play either quite well.  Only problem is, he's usually a creepy scarey guy, so if he was playing Peabody, people immdediatley say "Aw, fuck.  That's John Malkovitch.  Peobody's got to be a villain."  Wonder who Gary Oldman would play best?

Michael Fassbender for Thomas? He kicked ass in 300.

Now picture Michael with long black hair.


paynesgrey  Gary Oldman? How about Nicodemus?
