Who do you imagine the characters to look like?

[Sushin]

I usually put a face to characters in books from faces I've seen elsewhere. A lot of them are personal, but sometimes a fictional character or celebrity of some kind ends up being who I imagine them to be. Anyone else do this? I'll list a few.

Michael
Trevor Moore from Whitest Kids U Know, because of the somewhat similar voices.

Scratch
Fujin from Final Fantasy 8 (But with darker, less anime hair...) The eyepatch just screams badass, and she's also part of a duo. And she only yells in the game.

Burt
Bill from Left 4 Dead. He's old and he's got a similar voice, and he looks very military.

If you've done this for any of the characters, please post!

I like the thing about an Audio Drama is that I can picture the characters to look like whoever I want. I never watched any of those live things because I don't want it to ruin what I think of them as.

[Sushin]

Not sure what you mean. It's hard for me to actually choose who the character is going to look like, especially when they have actual voices. I just flip through faces that would match the physical description of the character in my head and I end up settling on one.

I actually thought this same thing, but I watched the Live event and it didn't happen to me. My image of Michael, Datu, Pegs, Riley, Angel, Saul, Burt are all still intact. In fact, I imagined Riley looking like the actress before I saw her. They try their best to describe her as butch without actually saying so, but I imagined a really pretty french girl. You cannot put Butch in that lovely voice, I'm sorry. I imagine someone different for Pegs, but the actress is also a close aproximation of what I imagined, same with Saul. I went back to listening to the podcast and it still never shook my image of the characters. You're doing yourself a diservice by not watching those live events, or seeing the actors for yourself. But maybe you can wait until the show is over? Only one and a half season left.

in an oddly funny moment my cousin just recently joined the army and his name is micheal but even before that I sort of pictured my cousin and Datu sort of bonces around from a couple of guys Ive worked with over the years depending on the point in the story. Angel, this will show my Canadian side there is a show called Sanctuary (winding up season 4) and the actor who plays John Druit( Christopher Heyerdahl) if he were blonde and had hair

I imagine Michael to look like Matthew Fox from Lost
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0289142/

I imagine Saul to look like Jerry Farrara from Entorage
http://www.vulture.com/2011/09/jerry_ferrara.html

Riley i imagined to look very much like Elisa Eliot with red hair....I don't know if they say she has red hair but I got that image before I saw any cast. Kelly i imagine to look just likie Tammy who plays her but as a brunette and Angels character drawing is exactly as I pictured him in my head. Lizzy looks just like Blaire Byhower who plays her.

[Vlarken]

I imagine most of the characters as people I know in life, and not people on TV or whatnot, or I just create a person from scratch (Scratch, Angel, CJ). However, I imagined Datu as Kumar from Harold and Kumar, Glenn as Hershel from The Walking Dead, and Kelly as Andrea from The Walking Dead. Everyone else I just imagined as a person I know, or made from scratch.

[lenarinn]

Where I go to church I have this preacher who every time i see him i think of Datu. He is Philippino and has yet to shake his accent after 10 years so he still struggles with words. His voice is also kind of in the same range. Sometimes I will close my eyes during a sermon and pretend Datu is deleivering it. ^w^

Has anybody seen Dredd? I watched it tonight and Lena Headey as Ma-Ma (http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/still/dredd-still05.jpg) is dead on how I picture Scratch, even down to the way she talks (http://youtu.be/sK_3YIkTmVE).

As much as I love Lena Heady (been a fan since I saw her in Loved Up), she is WAY too damn old to be Scratch. WAY.

Wow... total quote failure.

Oh I know she's not that old! I just figured it went without saying that I picture her as a younger version, but everything else about her is spot on for me.

I can dig it, bro. :love:

[trubkir]

I've always pictured Michael a bit like Sgt. Elias from the movie Platoon. I guess it is the line at the start of the show where he goes from hard charge PFC to weary Sgt. I picture Riley exactly...

[Gfresh]

For me...

Michael = Oded Fehr (played Carlos in the Resident evil movies) his voice sounds like Michael's and the Res Evil character is similar in ways to Michael 2208

Victor = Danny Trejo 2209

Angel = Cary Elwes (in Hot Shots) 2210

Saul = Donald Faison (Scrubs) 2211

[Gfresh]

Also (possibly)...

Bricks = Batista 2216

Scratch = A young Jamie Lee Curtis 2217

Riley = Audrey Tautou 2218

Puck = John Leguizamo 2219

Durai = Vin Diesel 2220

[ferroaj]

Bricks
2221

Now listen to his voice.

[khortdad1988]

I did think they did a great job with casting those of you saying stuff like "oh they did a good job!"

Its true they did... but they just looked different than I imagined. Like when I first saw the cast I was like bored then after I saw the movie I loved it.

Now listen to his voice.

Funny, I imagined Kalani to look like him.

Jamie Lee Curtis...

ANYWAY!

I found her! I'm surprised that this slipped my mind for so long, but after reaching back into the piles of dvds that litter my shelves, I dug out (and threw on) a classic this afternoon... and there she was... the hottest thing on two legs... how I have always seen her in my head, and how I always will see her...

Ladies and gentlemen... Scratch.

Her blades are not impressive enough.

:squint: They are impressive enough... plus... damn she's sexy.

[Deacon_Tyler]

I imagine scratch to sorta be glowing with long angel wings, with the supernatural ability to melt the hearts of anyone that hears her voice.

[YetAnotherBloodyCheek]

Victor and Saul

They have got some sort of bromance going on...

But she looks so like the 1980s...

Even Kati Perry looks better: http://www.statesidemangoods.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Katie_with_knife.jpg
