Wesley Snipes in 'Blade'
Why: Because I started this topic to see what you would write and rushed my answer. :) He's cool, used to magic and science. Action star. Easy on the eyes ;) |

Under SR3 it was easy. We gave him the 12 point "Being Wesley Snipes" edge and all his stats came into line.
I'd like to see the guys from "Four Brothers." |

my main char looks like Avery Brooks, pretty much straight out of Spenser for Hire.

And appropriate, since in the latest Spenser novel Hawk gets shot three times in the back by a sniper and lives.

Christian Bale in Equilibrium.
Because he's what every gunbunny adept should aspire to be. |

The team of "The Ususal Suspects" - a good example for a team of professional criminals.

Preston "Press" Lennox (Michael Madsen) from Species (1995) and Species II (1998).
A good example of a professional hit man whose personal/private life is not ruled by his job. Also a good example of an individual who one would most definitely try to avoid upsetting, because he could be either your best friend or your worst enemy, depending upon the situation. No one ever asked me to find anything they didn't want dead. Robert DeNiro again, but this time as "Sam" from Ronin (1998). Joubert (Max Von Sydow) from Three Days of the Condor. --Foreigner |

In 2042 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Seattle underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire: THE A-TEAM

Check out Ewan McGregor in Eye of the Beholder. This guy is a very good depiction of the character of a Shadowrunner. He's got the skills and talent, but he's wierd enough to live in the shadows rather than the corp world. (In fact, he's plain-out crazy.)
Someday, I'm gonna make a decker who's a direct rip-off of Richard Pryor from Superman III. If you need someone to play Lofwyr in human form, my vote's for Anthony Hopkins. (I know he doesn't match the physical descriptions given.) And of course, me. |

Lenny Nero and 'Mace' from the movie Strange Days.
All the characters are great, but Ralph Fiennes is fantastic as a sleazy BTL dealer. |

Christopher Walken could play just about any scary baddass character in the SR universe.

In all the convention games I've run, I'm pretty sure I've encountered at least ten Wolverines for every one other character I've encountered based on any other media source.

Jay, Silent Bob, or other crew from Clerks pop up randomly in Stuffer Shacks occasionally.

Vin Diesel. Some sort of gun/phys add with about 30 points in edge.
Jet Li, same deal. |

How could you all do this? How could you forget the one, the only, the PWNZ ALL YOUR BASES... Chuck Norris?! :P :D
It doesn't matter if it is a toxic mutant Horror possessed Great Dragon, if it ain't Chuck, it is going down. |

Wooo! Coincidentally, the campaign I GM is called "The Chronicles of the A-Team" and they themselves are known as the A-Team. They got their name from a joke which started after one character decided to paint the team's van to match that of the old TV show's. The entire campaign is available on the #S-Run Homepage found in my sig. |
