I actually don't really agree that Joe Manganiello would make a good Brian Clauser.  When I read the book and listened to the podcast I did not envision someone like Joe Manganiello.  I see Clauser as more pale and fit, but not buff kind of guy.  Off the top of my head, and because Priest was on a few days ago, I would think Paul Bettany might look the part better.  Or Karl Urban.  Plus they both I think are good actors.  And I guess I need clairfication on the "active movie star.  Yes they both have been in movies recently but is there a level of activeness?  Bettany is in 1 pre-production and 1 post-production.  Urban on the other hand is 2 of each.  So that might shoot them down right away.

A couple others that I think also could do well:

Adam Baldwin

Zachary Levi - not sure on his "badass" beleivability

Scott Speedman

Ricky Schroder

Chiwetal Ejiofor

Michael Elay

Josh Hartnett - unless he is being kept in your back pocket to play Perry Dawsey?

The more I think about it, the more I am thinking Paul Bettany.
