Nope. He is Harry.
Also, someone remembers if Malcolm is as tall as Harry?

Well, sure, but then these days Barry Allen's dad was once Barry Allen himself, and Supergirl's dad was once Superman.  It's proven to give nerd-ans an easy thrill without having to work too hard plot-wise.  Nerd-fans loves us some cameo's  ;D

Id take him over the Supernatural kid everybody likes to suggest.  I have doubts that he could pull off the Terrifying dark god of Chaos and Structure Fires, in terms of acting range.  He's done occasional decent acting in what Ive seen of his work, though fwiw he is absolutely terrible at pretending to be blind.

Thats the guy.  I long thought he was one of the crappier elements of the show, and I can never remember how to spell his name.

Lol, I'm not sure I did it right either. I like sam's character though I mean who doesn't like the guy

Funny you should mention that though, I'd never heard of him as Dresden... But looking at the cover of changes zoomed in as a wallpaper I thought to myself "he looks like sam there." Lol

Ahhh prejudice. His looks are spot on but from his role in Supernatural I couldnt quite see him playing Harry. Which doesnt mean he couldnt, i just dont see it.... Now MM Harry on the other hand might be simular to His lucifer personae.

Eh, I mostly just thought he was a bad actor, and the middle seasons when he was so obviously working with a vocal coach to lower his speaking voice were just painful.

Prejudice? It's not. He doesn't look like Harry! He is too muscular and...broad. I accept tall is spot on but for me Harry looks like Blackthorne or something like that, Jared has the face of a good kid. I remember once I found an Argentine actor who looked just like the Harry in my mind but now I don't remember who he was. I'll try to find him but I don't know if it is in this thread.

That's part of it for me too: he has an unfortunate case of baby-face.

Ahhh Harry dose start to gain those descriptive features as the DF moves along though?
Quote from: Prejudice
an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
Idk it tends to qualify under the first part. people just get all in a huff if you use that word I think, though admittedly its not done without though or reason here.
I genuinely disagree about the baby face being a problem. especially for a wizard who is not actually aging like a normal person. But I don't think he has a good kid face anymore than I do lol. which ya, I'm twenty eight, people think I should be about twenty. But that doesn't mean that baby face is the face of a saint lol. He did good for me as lucifer anyway. I can get why he's not the most popular person for Dresden... but that I'd directly attribute to prejudice, cause without SN, No knowledge equals no reason not to like him. So something was seen or felt from previous experiances to make you feel he's not up to snuff?
