One of our players started to go “If there was a Movie made of my Character this is who would play him/her.” We started to do this also.
Kovu Muphasa [Ork {Surge-Lion} Street Samaria]: Shaquille O'Neal Scrounger [Human Coyote Street Shaman]: Grace Jones with a big Storm like Mohawk. Armani [Human Burned out Mage]: Timothy David Olyphant from Hitman Stephaney [Ork Criminal/Gun Runner/ Street Samaria/Rigger]: Gabrielle Anwar |

Gay Tony from GTA: The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Honestly, I have no idea. David Bowie as Zeitgeist the pan-sexual elf negotiator? |

It would be a toss up between Clive Owen and Josh Hartnett, playing a very intuitive perceptive, quick reacting adept (gunslinger maybe, but more focus on noticing details, stealth, tracking and wilderness survival) with as little of the charisma needed for social graces (not a dump stat however, just how it ends up being thanks to my own charisma score and low social skills as a player) aka has a hard time making friends and is bit envious of the Faces of the world for their ability to make friends.

Hugh Jackman, my current character (swapped out my technomancer, he was a poor fit for the group) is an... unusually tall dwarf physad who follows the way of the ninja. Very tough, usually silent, but can express himself quite well if he chooses to though such is rare. Jackman's physicality and range are perfect.

Henry Ian Cusack
Ewan McGregor My PC is Scottish and I've based him heavily off of one of Henry Ian Cusack's characters. I think Ewan McGregar has a better complexion for my character though. Edit: I just remembered my character's name is Desmond MacGregor. Coincidence? OoooOOooO |

Sean Patrick Flannery's pictures served as several character images for Connor, my long-time Ghost/Sammie.

All my shadowrun characters are played by clones (sometimes gender swapped) of Martin Van Buren.

Nobody's going to play my character apart from myself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hrm . . pretty hard, since most of my characters tend to be trolls . .
Just someone big and tall and strong. Undertaker, Kane, The Giant/Big-Show, Sid Viscious. Maybe Andre the Giant for my Giant Meta-Variant Troll Anarchist . . |

Andrew Lee Potts is the visual inspiration for my current Ork technomancer, Hatter.

I'd recommend Christopher Walken as a contact or Mr. J. Really its just a requirement he's in the movie.

As the GM I match my NPCs to movie characters to help me keep in character and get a proper feel. Fortunately I'm such a bad actor (and frankly, I'm losing my taste for actual roleplaying) my gamers can't tell. Hmm... that's not fortunate at all. Oh well.

When I originally conceived my first character, I was picturing Rutger Hauer (as he was back when he filmed Split Second) for my original character, The Jake (human Dog Shaman/Hacker).
By today's casting standards, I'm inclined to say Matt Damon. - J. |

Walken would have been perfect for my old character Whipstitch, a semi-retired shadowrunner and small-time street doc with a shady past in organ legging. He hadn't seen a gaping wound that intimidated him in years and was generally unflappable but a li'l creepy. Also enjoyed knitting. Too bad that he got torn apart by ghouls.

As John, my grizzled ork merc, I would have to go with Ron Perlman.
For Car, my human thief/face/decker turned fixer, I would have to go with Bruce Campbell. |
