I don't know if this has already been said, but I've always liked Elisabeth Rohm for Murphy. She was Det. Kate Lockley in Angel.

I remember her! For anyone who doesn't, here's this:



She even has Murphy's "Goddammit, Dresden!" look on her face! :D

(p.s. the blur in front of her face is the "gun" she was pointing at Angel/Boreanaz/Assface in this shot.)
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."

I watched 'The Number 23' the other day and thought; "Holy Crap! Jim Carrey would make a pretty good Dresden!"

She looks the part and the right age, but I don't think she has the range and is too tall.  I remember her on Law and Order, and she always acted so stiff.  Just my humble opinion.

I believe they are confusing the meg from supernatural (a demon who has been played by multiple actresses) with meg griffin from family guy. Meg griffin was origionally voice cast by lacey chabert before mila kunis took over. lacey also did the voice-over work for eliza thornberry.

um...should I say kevin bacon now?

with that I now post the pic that will get lots of guy votes for my murphy choice...

See
I would more have gone for Emma Caulfield (even though she is 5'5")

Murphy's supposed to have a gymnast body, not a skinny model body.

Well if that's the case then you might as well cast Sarah Michelle Gellar, since she actually has gymnastics, boxing AND martial arts training. She's studied Tae Kwon Do for years (don't know what level she is). She may not have Murphy's passion for aikido, but she's definitely got the gymnast's body, plus she's 5'3".

And it's not like she hasn't done the tiny blonde ass-kicking thing before :) Or the supernatural thing. And hell, she might get a kick out of just playing a human police officer who may or may not be spiritually inclined to take up a sword for the White God :)

Mostly I look at the picture that Hank posted and I'm like.
OMG who is this little girl, someone put some clothes on her. 

Sigh.. I think I got old somewhere.
