And don't forget to vote for your favorite Dresden here

Dude, the reason I pointed out this thread was so that we wouldn't have two threads covering mostly the same thing (as this thread includes everything your thread has except for a limited poll). Trying to keep the stress on Fred's server as low as possible, hmm?

This topic has been discussed here, among other places.

I know, I have posted many times in that thread, but that's not my thread, so I can't do a poll on there.  :P

I have even asked to have my old thread about this merged with this one. I am way ahead of you on keeping the forums tidy.

For example, I have seen at least 5 threads about Sorcerer's Apprentice. They really should check before starting a new one.

I think this is an exception because of the poll though.

BTW did you vote? (see top of page)

Not Nathan Fillion.  He's just not Harry.  Clive Owne sure, but you deleted him from the list.

Clive Owen was my original choice too, but someone made a very valid point that Clive is too old, especially for Storm Front.

Clive might work if they started the movies with Changes.  ;)

Dang, why is Nathan always winning.

LEE PACE! LEE PACE!


You have to watch Pushing Daisies then you will see he has that awkward humor and he is 6'3" and in Pushing Daisies he is basically a Necromancer.

Yeah I know that is against the laws of magic but I wonder about that

I chose Viggo as Michael because of his role as Aragorn. Sean Bean was my second choice (coincidentally Boromir).

But someone (i think in this thread) pointed out he would make a good Marcone.

I am still not sold on this idea though, I don't know if Viggo could pull of the right attitude for Marcone.



Heh. That was me.

Of course, then I reread the Marcone description and saw that he "didn't look like the sort of man who would have my legs broken or my jaw wired shut. His salt-and-pepper hair was cut short, and there were lines from sun and smiling etched into the corners of his eyes. His eyes were the green of well-worn dollar bills. He seemed more like a college football coach: good-looking, tanned, athletic, and enthusiastic." (page 29, Storm Front hardback edition) so, now my pick for Marcone is a less cold looking, warmer Ray Wise, who looks very warm, kind and fatherly, but also makes you weary that he just might be the one to cement your feet together and toss you in a river.



This guy has been everywhere, not even kidding. Seriously, check out his IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0936403/
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."

O.O wow. when you say everywhere, you really *aren't* kidding.

I don't know why, but with that description of marcone, this guy comes to mind:

"Because he's Nathan" seems a trifle self-evident; were you looking for a more sophisticated answer than "Awesome in a spell-encrusted duster would awesome squared"? ;) Also, he's Canadian.

I like Lee Pace; but I'm not sure he's Harry. (Is he even thirty-two yet?)

I really like the idea of Ray Wise as Gentleman Johnny Marcone.

It occurs to me that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau would make a great Nicodemus.

LOL. Kinda awesome, isn't it? He's even been on Dawson's Creek :-/ And I only wised up to him (heh. get it? wised up? cuz his last name's Wise?... I'll shut up.) because I recently saw him in an episode of Bones where he played some sort of crooked P.I. dude. He looked like a perfectly nice old man, and then he turned out to be part of a murder, ya know?

Oh good god, ^ that image.

I still say based on looks alone, it should be WWE wrestler John Morrison. As far as acting goes... I know nothing about him, but he certainly acts completely prideful and full of himself, the way Thomas sort of did at the very beginning.
