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

Rick Astley.
[/edit] Oh wait, my character. Ray Winstone, human ex-Mafia member.

Michael Clarke Duncan as Thunder, Norse Troll PhysAd.

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

We have David Bowie and his wife as Elves from the 4th World in our game.

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

Mickey Rourke as the troll bouncer.

Calico (Bast Wiccan/goth sex bomb) - Alessandra Ambrosio.

Zero (Gun Bunny) - Ally Maki.

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.

KMFDM... mostly Captain K.

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.

You mean like this?

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.

I was thinking Tila Tequila.

I use him and Gary Oldman as Goverment Agents in my NEST-13 Game [SyFy/Horrer]

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.

Welllllll, yeah. I'm not the most creative person when it comes to developing my own characters as I just play myself being silly.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

The Andre of about 20 years ago, or the Andre of about 10 years ago?

hmm, Matto ork sammi would be played by a young Ron Jeremy

Tick-Tock my rigger would be played by Jason Mewes

and my street mage, wormwood, from SR1-2 would be played my Billy Connolly from Boondock saints.

dunno ^^

500,000 Cyberware suite, 38/35 Armor, 3IP sammy, I think Sharlto Copley from District 9 (main character) would do the "cyborg" great justice. The character is very conflicted and didn't want to become a "cyborg". Forced to work for a powerful doctor that "saved" him. Etc... Etc... Can't see his family since they would reject/fear him.

Edward norton for my Occult investigator, Kaleb Xidorn . Body type is more in line with a lower body and since he is a good actor he could play a Hellblazer character much better than Keanu Reeve.

My private investigator, Todd Archer, would be portrayed by Philip Glenister (DCI Gene hunt from Life on Mars[UK]).

Why the mad clutching at the hair and eyes?

Nice, just noticed that there is a 2nd part (apparantly it has already been in the movies in the U.S. last fall)... 2009: The Boondock Saints II : All Saints Day

Bye
Thanee

That woman ever so frightens me but not in the good femdom way. And she took the Incest spell during charagen.

Kain - Gun Adept - Ryan Reynolds
Jules - Elven Face - Madeleine West
Pockets - Rat Shaman - Steve Buscemi or Michael Cera

Mia Fever then?

Torsalo, Mayan Elf shaman - Dalia Hernández

LOL! Ron Jeremy....heh.

Ron Jeremy?
The Same Ron Jeremy who said that computer games do more harm to todays youth than porn?
THAT Ron Jeremy?

Mongoose would be played by Bruce Lee. The character is black and is almost 7 feet tall (Elf with exceptional Body) but cinema tricks can fix that, and he's the only one who could do the reflexes right. And, like the character, he's dead. Not sure if he had a rule against using guns in film- that would be a deal breaker, because Mongose did nothing but guns and armed combat, couldn't even throw a punch.

It took 24 posts for someone to have a character based off of Ron Perlman?!?

Shame on you Dumpshock. SHAAAAAME!

Anyway...

I've got a Jamaican Troll Rigger who I would probably have played by George Clinton.
And I've got an NPC fixer (nicknamed Rat-Face) who would probably be played by Joe Pesci with a broken nose.

Aristotle, my first character - a teen decker with a mop of red curly hair and a passion for collecting vintage game console, would probably be Rupert Grint or someone of similar appearance.

Mojo, my charismatic rastafarian mage - the comical counterpart to the teams dead-serious cybered-out mercenary streetsam, would probably be Gary Dourdan

hi hi

My street samurai would be Kaji Meiko.

Hm, my Chinese Elven face and pistol ace was mostly based on a young Chow Yun fat. For my Orc gang physad I didn't have an actor in mind when creating him, but Maero from Saint's row 2 will look a alot like him if you add a pair of tusks.

Forgot to add, I'm making a fomori merc based very loosely on Clint Eastwood but this is a very recent development.

- J.

For the Current Team:

My In-Game Persona: (Elf Hermetic Former Wage Mage) Ryan Phillipe
Dorothy: (Chinese-American Ork Gunslinger Adept) Grace Park
The Wiz: (Dwarf Comlinker) Danny Woodburn
Scarecrow (Human Hougan of Ghede): Phil Lamar
Tin Man(Chromed up Street Samurai): Tyler Mayne
Jenny Jump(Human Changeling {with a very minor SURGE} Technomancer who mainly does a lot of rigging) : Christina Ricci
(Voice of) Number Nine(Jenny's Favorite Machine Sprite): Liam O'Brian
Cowardly Leon(Troll Rat Shaman): Ron Pearlman

come now, give the man some credit. He has a very long and well documented... career.

The same Ron Jeremy that participated in the following exchange:

For my main character Flak probably a early thirties Greg Grunberg who's British, although probably early forties by the time I retired the character.
