I need that bunk... I'm reading Blood Rites and I'm to the scene in the cavern so you can imagine what I'm seeing in my mindscape. *swoons*

It's these guys for me:

Harry- Paul Blackthorne.  Was perfect casting imo, about the only thing the tv show did right.

Murphy- Murphy is Laura Linney for me.  If only she could become 5-10 years younger for storm front!

Thomas- I've always pictured the white court as the flawless china doll type.  For me he has always resembled Jude Law...whats more, Law could pull off the effortless swuave thing.

Morgan-- I don't know why, but I've always pictured him as kris kristofferson.  There is that mix of venom yet you know underneath he is one of the good guys.  He had that 'been there, done it' vibe going in blade too.

Lara Raith-- Mila Kunis or Megan Fox.  If they wanted her slightly older, Angelina Jolie or Monica Belucci.  This character just needs to ooze sex and power.
Susan-- Roselyn Sanchez
Bob -- Voiced by Stephen Fry.  Needs the sarcasm and the wit in the voice.   Would be superb.
Butters-- Needs the geek factor.  I think Zach Braff would be great as butters.
Michael--  Needs a severity, but also the ability to really act out such a pure character.  For me he would be great portrayed by Viggo Mortensen.

Nicodemus -- Has always been Udo Kier for me.  Seriously, google him.  He has the total look, with an otherworldly presence about him.   
Kincaid --  I've always pictured him as Benicio Del Toro.
Faerie Queens-- Think it would be fantastic to have Cate Blanchett portray both.

Ladies and gentlemen, with the exception of Nicodemus and Lara, I believe we have found our casting director.

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

I know it does not work, but that is why it got stuck in my head.

GOOD LORD, MAN!

Its like you have Intellectus when it comes to casting. (At least on looks, I only know half of those actors)

Zach braff as butters? Yes.
Stephen fry as bob? Hell yes!
Viggo Mortensen as michael? <see first line above>

Dunno why, but I'm suddenly seeing Simon Pegg as Butters. Unfortunately, he's 5'10".

Having just watched Charlie's Angels again, Crispin Glover for Madrigal Raith.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

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.

Also Zach Galifianakis is a bit...thick for the role. Butters is supposed to be tiny, like a buck-ten soaking wet.

How about either Phil or Lem from Better off Ted as Butters.  Phil is the short white guy and Lem is the tall black guy but I honestly think either could play Butters.  In this case I don't care about skin color of Butters.  I can picture both of them yelling "Polka will never die!"

Dresden:
Joe Flanigan - Not as tall as Harry (but then again, who is?) but DAMN does he look the part.

Lee Pace - Some of you might recognize him as the Pie Maker, from Pushing Daisies.
http://blog.newsok.com/television/files/2009/03/lee-pace.jpg

John Cusack - And he's even a Chicago native

Thomas:
Jonathan Rhys Meyers - If that picture doesn't scream Thomas Raith, I don't know what does.

Murphy:
Elisha Cuthbert - She's 5'2" and perhaps the foxiest woman ALIVE.

Michael:
Christopher Meloni -

Ebeneezar:
Brendan Gleeson - Some of you may know him as Mad Eye Moody. I remember him as the badass best friend from Braveheart.

The Archive:
Elle Fanning - She's got that cute/creepy thing going on.
http://www.childstarlets.com/lobby/bios/portraits/elle_fanning15.jpg

That's all I've thought up for the time being. I'll update as I think of characters.
