I'd put John Shea (Lex Luther from Adv. of Lois & Clark) as Marcone.

Even reading the books, he always came to mind for me.

I could definitely see that for him.

I could also see Gabriel Byrne as Marcone, he was the Father in Stigmata.

Gabriel Byrne as Marcone is an excellent choice.

Now that I think about it, I kinda like Alfred Molina for the part too.

I would see Alfred Molina more as the Merlin  (Look at the previews for Sorcerer's Apprentice... if that isn't Molina auditioning for the role, I don't know what is!) :)

Here's kind of a reverse to this... what part in the Dresdenverse would you give to Christopher Walken??

Christopher Walken?

Nicodemus. Arthur Langtry. ...

And maybe Mouse's voiceover.

Uh... Walken could be Mac. They could maybe let Mac talk a bit more but still be the mysterious old sometimes insightful bartender.

The massive gruff left furrows in the ceiling as it walked out. I tried to get my breathing started again, though my heart just wouldn't stop. Murphy took a couple of tries to get her gun reholstered.

Mac brought over three bottles, and kept one for himself. He pulled the top off, and raised the bottle. "Bravely done." Mac took a slug and furrowed his brow.

"But you could have used more cowbell."



The chair splintered over Morgan's head, and he just dropped. The storm was brewing, and I was running out of time. Mac gave me a look. "Council's gonna be pissed," he said.

"Mac, I need to borrow your car." Mac nodded, reached into his apron and pulled out ... a bottle of beer.

"Mac?"

"This bottle of beer was brewed by the first company in America to brew beer. Your mother and I ran from the wardens for five years, during which time she kept the beer hidden. After she passed on, I hid this cold, uncomfortable hunk of glass up my ass for two years. And now, little man, I give this bottle to you. "

The damnedest thing was the bottle actually started the car....

This is how I see it in my head

Harry - zachary quinto (yes, sylar. if you've seen the guy on heroes and the star trek movie you know he can do "grumpy and nerd")
Murphy - nikki aycox (perfect type casting and if you've seen her on dark blue and supernatural you get it)
butters- the kid who played McLovin in Superbad
kincaid - christian kane (looks like he might shoot you, or at least deck you at any given time)
Morgan -Rade Serbedzija (played boris the blade in "snatch)
Eb- Robert duvall (circa secondhand lions)
Molly- taylor momsen (tries to be edgy teen but she'll always be cindy-lou who on some level, kinda mirrors how harry views molly)
Nicodemus- lambert wilson (played the merovignion in matrix part 2)
Mavra- Tilda swinton made up all corpsey-like
luccio(younger version)-Alexa Davalos because hey, evil dimples
Lash/Lasciel- Kate Beahan
Billy the werewolf-Ryan Merriman Laugh if you want but he could pull of the transition from green kid to seasoned fighter of the big bad.
Marcone-neal mcdonough (played sharp-eyed mobster in walking tall) or titus welliver
justin-malcolm mcdowell
Sanya-Chiwetel Ejiofor
Ms. Guard-Tricia Helfer
Leanan sidhe-Christina Hendricks
the gatekeeper- Ian Mc("C***sucker!")shane cause his voice fits the hearty laugh scene involving harry's bandaged head.
Martha Liberty- can we get Oprah?
injun joe- graham greene
The merlin- Terrence "kneel before ZOD!" Stamp, just picture him looking annoyed with harry.
peabody- Peter Macnicol imagine him yelling "THE END IS NIGH!DRESDEN'S GONE WARLOC!"
Elaine- Anna Torv (from fringe)
Susan- Emmanuelle vaugier

the White and red court- hell, cast real pornstars!

Michael- started out picturing treat williams but he may be too old now, probably nathan fillion now
Thomas- I have absolutely no friggin idea

...and Bruce Campbell as the voice of Bob

Morgan-- Alan Rickman    You need menace.  the problem is that before Turn Coat Morgan has few dimensions.



Hahaha.... great, now every time I re-read the books im going to have rickmans voice stuck in my head at the morgan parts.

If we can have him at bout the timeframe of King of New York, Marcone.

I saw him on stage a couple of weeks ago. He has phenomenal charisma and presence.

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.

I have recently come round to the position that the person to play Mac is Tom Waits.

Doesn't work for me; I still see Morgan as Rutger Hauer in 1984 or so.
