As a writer, I constantly come across pictures that resemble the people who live in my head.
For example: There was this perfume ad which perfectly captured John and Santana BOTH (AT THE SAME TIME!) and I was like WTF Hugo Boss, get out of my head!
And then there was Alice from “Tales of Love and Emeralds”, and she was gut-wrenching and amazing:
Â
This would be a pretty great Alice too, though her sharp moonstone eyes are missing:
And this person pretty much got all the struggles of Alice’s sweet twin brother, Alan.
And then there’s Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who should play James Baumann from “Tales”, if they ever make a movie of the Dark Safe.
Then there’s this guy, who pretty much NAILED Kieran in all his three dimensional naughty sexiness . (Kieran is coming in 2016, by the way.)
And he did a pretty great naughty John too. Even though John would be the perfect candidate for Captain America (he’s such a good boy), he can get really naughty if he wants to. Just ask Santana on chapter thirty something.Â
Damn, John.
I do this too, but with music. Songs I hear remind me of my characters.
That’s a toughie, but Capt. Jean Luc Picard had to be in the discussion.
Yes. Yes to this. So very much lol
For me it’s Benedict Cumberbatch as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. It’s not a sexually charged role, though it does have its moments. His Holmes (like the original) can out-reason anyone, but the modern Sherlock has all the latest techie stuff, too. The crimes are more complicated than in Doyle’s fiction, but they have the same energy and allure. Just as Doyle’s books will always be popular, I am convinced the Holmes of the new millennium will add to that popularity in a good way.
Oh, definitely. Plus, Benedict Cumberbatch is absolutely great in almost any role. Contrary to most, I really enjoyed his Khan.
I don’t do this with characters…but, I always create mental pictures in my head and then have these wierd deja vu feelings…Anyway…my pick would be any of the protagonists from John Grisham’s books. I’m kind of a fan!
All perfectly awesome choices. : D
I LOVE two characters: Clyde/Roberta from Lynda Barry’s Cruddy, and The Bogeywoman from Jaimy Gordon’s novel of the same title.
Awesome : D
