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!

My only objection to Matt Bomer is I've never seen him try to pull off a dark, sultry kind of sexy.  He's cute 'cause he's just made that way, but can he... y'know... go all predator-sexy?  He's just got so much boyish charm, very boy-next-door, all-American kind of cute.  Trying to picture him as Thomas is like... Like seeing Jenna Elfman as Lara.

That's what people thought when Tom Cruise was cast as Lestat in Interview with the vampire and surprisingly he pulled it off exactly the way Anne Rice intended (at least according to her Variety article, amazon review, and facebook ranting).

You think Matt Bomer is "boy-next-door"?  Can I move two houses down from you? :D

I keep trying to get my dad to ask his friend if he's related to Matt. They share the same last name and it's just a weird coincidence the only other Bomer I've ever known or heard of was my dad's friend. I keep thinking he has to be atleast his uncle if nothing else. Would make me happy to know I know someone related to him if only through my dad. ;)

I think my fiance makes a perfect Harry. That's why I nudged him towards Dresden cosplaying with me by buying him the leather duster.. lol! I just posted the pictures in a different thread. I cosplayed as Murphy, but while reading the books I always pictured her as that chick from Shaun of the Dead.. the girlfriend.. whats-her-face??

Seems like everyone wants to skew young; Harry is pushing 40 in Changes and we've got 10 more+ years coming.  That being said, here are some of the faces I see in my head.

Harry: Hugh Laurie, Hugh Laurie, Hugh Laurie
Murphy: Elizabeth Banks has always worked here for me
Thomas: Michael Fassbender, who I wuldn't have thought of without reading this thread. (Sorry Priscillie, I think Bomer is too young)
Susan: Eva Mendes
Michael: Jeff Bridges (I love the idea of The Dude being the Fist of God, and he could do it.  Give him an excuse to lose the belly)
Molly: Blake Lively
Sanya: Djimon Honsou
Morgan: Alan Rickman (He can play disdain like nobody else)
Eb: Robert Duvall (it can be no other, Eb IS Gus McCrae from Lonesome Dove)
Merlin: Donald Sutherland
Nicodemus: Gary Oldman (typecast as a villian, and so what?)
Kincaid: Russell Crowe (when he's fit)
Marcone: Adrian Pasdar (from Heroes)
Ms. Demeter: Tilda Swinton (emotionally vacant, hollow-eyed weirdo)
Ms. Gard: Charlize Theron (actually, insert any tall, blonde, not too skinny competent actress here)
Hendricks: Michael Clarke Duncan (I know in the books he's white, but so what?)
Mab: Heidi Klum (anybody watch Project Runway?  I totally think she could do this)
Lea: Julie Benz
Maeve: Eliza Dushku
Lara: Kate Beckinsale (so she has already done hot brunette vampire - don't fix it if it ain't broke)
Lara's sisters: Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman
Mac: Bruce Willis (c'mon, you know that works)
Butters: David Krumholtz (the guy from Numb3rs)
Vincent: Eric Szmanda (CSI Las Vegas - I've always liked this guy and it works for me, alternatively he could be Fix)
Luccio: (new body): Milla Jovovich
Lash/Lasciel: Ali Larter

and...
Toot: Justin Timberlake (with CGI shrinking - I think perfect!!)

Hugh Laurie needs to be a bit younger to be Harry.
Totally Alan Rickman. He and Hugh Laurie need to switch ages. That would work out better.
Totally Bruce Willis. And I would definitely agree with Dave Krumholtz.

Obviously David Caruso= Harry.



*Start of Fool Moon*

Murphy: The vic was partially eaten, and there's a large canine footprint near the window.

Harry: Looks like this killer was hungry *puts on shades* like the wolf.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-UDWPXrW5c




*White Night*

Thomas: Harry! Run! There's a giant purple flying chimp behind you!

Harry: Start the car. We don't have time to *puts on shades* monkey around.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-UDWPXrW5c




*Small Favor*

Molly: Those goat-things were scary!

Harry: Personally, I found them to be a little *puts on shades* gruff.

Toatlly for sanya, same with nicodemus. and hell yeah with morgan. but i think hugh laurie is too old, and i cant see russel crowe as kincaid, why? cause he has that level of badass and he also is funny, well he is to me,and i cant see russel doing that, but i can see john travolta doing it if he looked like he did and acted like he did in pulp fiction. i actually agree with a lot of these, but i think viggo would be a better michael, and i dont know if anyone else said thiss, but i got to, thomas:brad pitt, but playing it like he did in Burn after reading, just not as over the top, know what more fight clubbish.

Their are to people i can see playing harry other then the tv show dude, hugh jackman, or paul bettany

And here's another possible Thomas pose by Mr. Bomer:

White suit just "suits" him. ;)
