Derek, the Warlock

I see Derek, the warlock in my novel The Vampire's Food Chain, as an unassuming, likable guy who can control the elements and has a deep connection with the Earth.  As far as coloring, he's on the lighter side, either blond or ginger, and while he isn't brooding, he's not happy-go-lucky either.  He takes his job as Shawn's food source seriously, just as seriously as he sees himself as her protector.  He realizes that she's more powerful than he is, but that doesn't bother him.  As far as relationships go, he's not threatened by her power and actually wants to see her become more so.

What do I think Derek looks like?  Well, a Google images search has given me these four candidates, although Paul Bettany, Heath Ledger, and a number of other actors come immediately to mind.

 Derek Candidate #1:

 I love this guy's hair and great blue eyes, but I'm wondering if has the warlock attitude.  Can't tell without more picture.

 Derek Candidate #2:

Love this guy's hair and his torso.  I also like that he looks slightly serious, but not completely so.  He looks like he's got some great warlock moves in him.














Derek Candidate #3:

I'm not sure if this is Todd Lowe or not, but if it is, Lowe would be perfect.  He's got the face, the hair, the eyes, and the build, plus he can play the slightly unfocused, focused character that epitomizes Derek.













Derek Candidate #4:

Again, it's the hair, the eyes, and the general demeanor of this guy who screams Derek to me.  I love that his shirt doesn't quite fit his shoulders, too.  It's such a guy thing.  He'd look great in a wizard's robe.













So I'm wondering which of these guys readers would choose as Derek.  Or if the answer is "none of the above," who they would nominate in their place.
