I thought about that, but Sean William Scott is a little to old to play Billy, and I already had Billy pegged as Emile Hirsch.


Huh. He certainly looks like he could play Billy!
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."

While we are on the subject of Jackman he is pretty much the new Clint Eastwood IMO.

Though Viggo Mortisen makes a pretty good gunslinger too.

Brolin was ok in Jonah Hex, but that movie bombed anyway, I thought it was decent, but it only made 9 mil opening weekend, which is considered a bomb since the budget was 47 mil.

I know it's off topic, but I always try to think of newer actors that could replace some of the greats that are gone or passed their prime.

Another one is Willem Dafoe in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, when I saw him in that I was like OMG it's Vincent Price.

I like Morena Baccarin as Bianca. She can do a totally alien role because she's always played rather off character and recently played the leader of the aliens in V/

Actually, I kind of see Morena as a possible Susan Rodriguez. Morena was born in Rio de Janeiro :)

And personally, I definitely see her as a seductive-type character that could certainly catch Harry's attention. I kinda want to see her expand outside of oddball alien roles :)

I considered her for Susan, but Butcher said Erica Cera, and that was a good choice, IMO.

I think she could combine both the seductiveness of a vampire along with their alien nature, as well.

I know these aren't really big parts but Don Paolo Ortega and The Red King.


I was thinking LaSardo for Red King because he already has that Aztec thing kind of going on.
At first I thought Banderas for Ortega but now I kind of think Del Toro.

I think that Javier Bardem could play a great Grevane.

Toot-toot should be played by Robert Pattinson.

Probably, I just said that because the names are homophones.
He could go through that procedure that Robert Downey Jr had in Tropic Thunder, or the plastic surgery that Kyle had in South Park a.........something plasty.  ;)

Remember this guy? (The older one, not the younger one.)

If you said Carl Winslow from Family Matters, you're right. This is Reginald Vel Johnson, whose face is always in my mind when I imagine what Rawlins looks like :)
