Jared Padelecki is adorable! I can't see him as ever playing Harry, but yeah, he does have most of Harry's attributes down pat. And if anyone has purchased Welcome to The Jungle, and is also an obsessive fan of Supernatural, your eyes will bug out at the sight the Harry on the cover of the hardback novel. The artist seems to have used Jared's image as a basis for Harry.




Here's the cover art, she is talking about:

Yup, that's it! Kinda eerie, isn't it?
Murphy: "Maybe you know the monsters, Martin. But I know the guy who stops them."

Dresden: "Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?"

Dresden: "Hell's holy stars and freaking stones shit bells."

When his hair is slicked back and looks short, it looks pretty similar to comic Harry, too.

reminds me more of ashton kutcher, when he's more scruufy. i saw a little bit of the butterfly effect , and thought he could pull off  a good scowl with those eyes, but he's always in roles of the goofy guy.

I think if Ashton Kutcher was ever even rumored to be involved in a Dresden movie an 'accident' would have to be arranged...

Agreed. Harry in no way looks...for lack of a better term...effeminate. As girly as the Sam character can seem in Supernatural (no offense ladies or Murph!), he can come off as a hard ass and the square-jawed look always screams manly. I juts saw a show this weekend how George Washington took pains to appear more square jawed bc it makes people think that you have more leader and tough guy qualities.

Despite the Dean character's many continuous attempts to prove his brother otherwise :)

Was it on the History Channel? They did a special a while back on life and death masks (heh. no kidding) of influential figures in history, like Lincoln, Washington and Shakespeare. When they did Washington's, they actually narrowed down how many teeth he actually had left and what sort of dentures he wore when he had his life mask done.

And streaming off from the last thing I posted on, this might be a little out there, but I'm reading a fanfic (that is agonizingly slow in updating). It's a crossover between Supernatural and the DV, with spoilers up to season 5, and Turn Coat (I think.) Anyway, the chick writing the story has a banner made, with a picture of Jared Padelecki, Jensen Ackles, and Hugh Jackman.... because apparently, Hugh Jackman is who she sees when she thinks of Harry.

A bit of a stretch there, or no?

After seeing him in "The Prestige", I can definitely see him as Harry, but the tough part would be casting Thomas... Who looks like Hugh Jackman's brother in Hollywood today?

Well. I tried. This is what I got. Although if you use any different image any number of times, you'll get a million different things.

Yep, that was the show I watched.
