apocalypsosI'm planning out a new story idea, and the thing is, I'm trying to come up with some actors I can "cast" as them for help getting them down visually. So I figured I'd ask ye olde friends list (who may get a good, wild night of post-Queer Eye shagging out of this one) to help me out by suggesting some actors who might fit the following roles ...
Character #1: Male, mid twenties. Cute, but in a geeky sort of way. Not muscular, but toned ... the kind of guy who you'd think could portray a marathon runner on film with just the teensiest bit of exercise. Unfazed by most everything he experiences, but a quality snarker.
Character #2: Female, appears in her early twenties, but definitely older. Demonic (sort of -- haven't really worked out the kinks on exactly *what* she is yet, but it's definitely evil). The kind of woman who, on first sight, you'd expect to steal your wallet.
Character #3: Male, late thirties to early forties. Total schlub, not much in the looks department. The sort of guy you hang out with because you know he's got some great stories to tell. Doesn't look evil so much as eternally annoyed.
Character #4: Female, over forty but under sixty. Very elegant and classically gorgeous. Obviously upper-class, probably European. Is not the sort to get involved with a fist fight, but rather would gracefully exit with some witty, intelligent verbal dodging.
Character #5: Female, mid teens. Your typical toothpick-waisted preteen bag of bones. Very much a larcenous punk. Total spitfire. The kind of girl whom, if she were your daughter, you'd be tempted to put on a leash if you weren't positive she'd get ideas from it.
Character #6: Female, early-to-mid twenties. Short and pudgy in more of a round-in-all-the-right-places way. A T-shirt-and-jeans sort, the type who'd wear mostly tees with weird sayings like "Can't sleep, clowns will eat me ..." and "Hello Cthulhu". (And I'm absolutely not saying that because I own those T-shirts. I'm just saying, is all ... ;P) A woman whose life is so ordinary she gets totally excited at the prospect of a fight, to the point of nearly embarrassing herself.
Character #7: Male, late twenties. Passably attractive, but more adorable than handsome. Conjurer, sorcerer, whatever you want to call it. Was pushed into this line of "work" by his parents, rather in a stage-mother scenario. Currently dating an accountant who has nothing to do with magical things, but treats this character's "job" like a chosen career.
I've decided that I don't get to watch my "Battle Royale" DVD until I finish this. So if you want to help corrupt my pure, innocent, virginal self --
Hey! Hey, stop laughing! I've got frozen seafood and I'm not afraid to beat you to death with it!

3) Mark Addy. From The Full Monty or A Knight's Tale.
4) One of those wonderful French actresses from Eight Women, if you want a European. Catherine Deneuve, or Isabelle Huppert, or Fanny Ardant. Or maybe Emmanuelle Beart, although she's a little young.

I'm tempted to cast Gideon Yago or the "Can you hear me now" guy as #1, but only because I've got this huge and inexplicable weakness for both of them.
