Let's Do The Casting Right This Time

[redbrunja]

Okay, so you know the show The Dresden Files? And how it was Made Of Fail from the opening scene when Harry was having casual sex with a random waitress? And then to add insult to injury Murphy was brunette? (If you don't, count yourself lucky.)

Anyway, I have been trying to do fantasy casting since I was a couple books into my reread. I'm actually pretty damn stumped, so I'm throwing the question to you, dear flist:

Give me your ideal casting for The Dresden Files.

That said, I do know who should play two of the characters.

Yvonne Strahovski as Lt Karrin Murphey






 



She's got enough range to be both hardcore and vulnerable, looks fantastic in SWAT gear, looks like an adult, is blonde and petite - making her perfect for the visual dichotomy of this short, female police officer going up against loup-garou's, plant monsters and vampires of the Red Court.

Angelina Jolie as Lara Raith







Do I actually need to explain? Because I don't think I have the 3,000 words to go with the photos.

BTW, the "Was that the primary buffer panel?" scene isn't the best for air travel

I watched an episode of Alias where Sydney blew up a plane and then parachuted out on the flight to France. Also possibly not the best choice for in-flight entertainment.

And I realized Simon Tam's actor might be a good one for Thomas. He's hot enough, has the hair, and it isn't like it would be THAT hard to pull off a sexually loose character.

Sean Mahr would be FANTASTIC. Have you seen him in any of the interviews? When they spike up his hair a bit? *rarw* *pouces*

And for Kincaid. Josh Holloway from LOST.

OH MY GOD YES. YES YES YES. JUST GIVE HIM A SHAVE AND HE'S GOOD TO GO. PLUS, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE HOTNESS OF YVONNE STRAHOVSKI AND HIM MAKING OUT?
