i just realised , when i read the books , i imagine harry pretty much like that sawyer guy from lost. i think the scowl is why, and he's constantly calling people by nicknames. also gard - the main character from fringe. -yeah i don't know the names i only watch evry odd episode of either.

I dunno why, but I keep imagining Elaine as Gabrielle Anwar - Fiona in Burn Notice O.o

Oh wow, a complete opposite of the mental image I get. 

Gabrielle Anwar... Every time she's on screen, I keep thinking she looks bizarre.  "Mummified" is how I usually describe her; all bones and skin stretched tight over them.  Not so much a healthy tan as literally tanned, like leather.  Blergh.  She gives me the creeps.

This is what I figure for my best cast so far

Harry Dresden-Nathan Fillion

Karrin Murphy-erica cerra or stana katic

Bob-hugh laurie

Thomas-Orlando Bloom(I keep picture thomas looking alot like will turner since he did all that leaping around on his boat in WN)

Michael-Liev Schreiber

Susan-Eva Mendes

Bianca-Morena Bacarin

Kincaid-Adam Baldwin

Gentleman John Marcone

Donald Morgan-Any suggestions?  I cant think of a single white actor in hollywood who could pull him off.

Lara Raith-Angelina Jolie

Sanya-Christopher Judge

Butters-Seth Green

Gard-Lucy Lawless

Hendricks-Vin Diesel or Dwayne Johnson(they dont need a lot of acting talent to stand around and glare)

Nicodemus-Mark Strong

Toot Toot-Alan Tudyk

Is Rutger Hauer still working in Hollywood ?
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

"What do you mean, Lawful Silly isn't a valid alignment?"

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.

Yes!  Give him a grey ponytail and a sword and he's perfect!

@Kali: I don't really know why. Sometimes I get Gabrielle, sometimes I get some cute black haired girl that I'm still trying to figure out who she looks like..

I agree.  I shudder when they put her in a bikini on Burn Notice.  It's like an anatomy lesson--I can count her ribs.  I enjoy her character, but I wish she'd eat something a little more substantial than yogurt.  Maybe a rack of pork ribs.

Elaine, no.  Hashat, maybe?

I vote Evangeline Lilly for Elaine.  Mostly 'cause I have a girl crush on her. :D

I think Hugh Laurie wood be a good Dresden, he's got the tall and lanky body type and intense eyes. .
Since this is perfect casting I would say younger Alpacino as John Marcone
And an older hayden panettiere as Murphy
anyways those came to me while scanning other post

Hugh Laurie is kind of up there in age though.   Paul Blackthorne was only thirty five.  Hugh Laurie is fifty one.  That makes him sixteen-years-older than the last man who played Dresden.
