...you're saying he has that ability to assume the personality of a white person, even though he's black?

Okay, after you answer this question, that's the farthest we're going down racist lane, okay?

No, I'm saying that he has the ability to bring out the humanity of the character and you actually rise above considering the color of his skin.
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

Anyone else think Eric Bana would be a great dresden,
Other Characters would be:

Thomas:  Orlando bloom
Susan: Katherine Bell
Murphy: Julie Bowen
Molly: Chyler Leigh
Bob: Mr. Feeney

I know it's a short list but those are constant characters

I can't really figure out who would be a good michael or Sanya

mmmmm not fond of orlando bloom.


Harry - David Boreanaz / Nathan Fillion
Thomas Raith - James Marsters ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0551346/ )
Shiro Yoshimo - George Takei ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001786/ )
Ebenezar McCoy - Jim Beaver ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0064769/ )
Donald Morgan - Misha Collins ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0172557/ )
Susan Rodriguez - Genevieve Cortese ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1298809/ )


I like this.

That is a very good point.
I would totally go with Nathan Fillion as Harry; he's got the snark. Boreanaz has the looks, but based on the characters he's portrayed, I can't really imagine Seeley Booth from Bones as Harry.
Totally Misha Collins for Morgan, in terms of personality. Castiel really reminds me of Morgan.
Eliza Dushku... is definitely hot. That's my two cents.

She's right. A truly good actor can excel past his own appearance.  In the Lestat musical an African American actor played Marius (a man of Roman / Celtic descent) and at least in the San Francisco production (the writing was seriously dumbed down in New York) he was fantastic in that role.

I got a couple of ideas for the White Court:

Thomas - Jonathan Rhys Meyers


And for Lara - Emmanuelle Vaugier


Thoughts??

He's perfect.  I loved him back in Velvet Goldmine.  But can he do an American accent?

New Here, but have been a lurker for quite some time. 

I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents... here is what I came up with

Harry - Neil Flynn (Wouldnt have thought of it, but after I read this... damn... fits)
Thomas - Jared Leto (We are looking for an over all pretty boy)
Bianca - Amy Lee of Evanesence
Ramierz - Wilmer Valderama
Marcone - Ray Wise - Dude who plays the Devil in Reaper OR Kurt Fuller (Played Zachariah in Supernatural)
Molly - Hard Choice, I would go with the Ellen Page from Xmen and Hard Candy
Ebenezer - Anthony Hopkins
Bob - Hugh Laurie, or Bruce Cambell
Morgan - Alan Rickman
Nicodemus - Christophen Walken Ala Prophecy

White suit just "suits" him. ;)

I was just drooling over that on Twitter.  He looks very White Court, I must say!  Now if only we had a picture reflecting Thomas' household uniform...  Oh wait, we do!
