I enjoy seeing actors do a complete 180 and play against type. It's pure fantasy and not gonna happen, but I want to see SH play some bad-ass mafia boss or something. Bugsy Siegal was known to be handsome and charming...
JP was my mental head-casting for the killer in a ficlet I wrote for another fandom, way back in 2009. I think he'd do a good psycho, of the quiet, cerebral sort - if he's got a director who comes down hard on any of the camp comedy flourishes, and got him to bring that hard-eyed intensity.
In a noir AU, 'Howard' would be the club owner/mob boss, for sure. Cold eyes and a scar down his jaw. (I've got 'Leonard' pegged as the informant in need of cement overshoes, the cringing Peter Lorre type.)
