My Dunmer Noble is egotistical, snobish, self assured, and loathe to admit anyone is competent ( which in Cyrodiil they are not ).
A flawed but but oddly compelling character, so the only person I can think of still alive to underplay these attributes is Bill Murry.

My Khajjit is fast to act little thought on outcomes, is wrapped up in her own morality so I have little idea apart from maybe the actress who plays a part of a thief in a series called leverage.

Wow, I have no idea. Perhaps I need to put out an add in Hollywood?

Wanted: Actress. Requirements -

Slight build (yes, *sigh* that means staying very close to the front of the alphabet when it comes to cup size...)
Five feet tall (that excludes most actresses, lol)
Blond hair with blue eyes (ok, that one's easy)
Pointed ears (ouch, that's a tough one to fill)

When it comes to my characters, I really don't know who would be good to play them.

*snip*
Blond hair with blue eyes (ok, that one's easy)
Pointed ears (ouch, that's a tough one to fill)

The blond hair can be accomplished with hair dye and the blue eyes with colored contact lenses. As for the ears, there are some good prosthetics artists in Hollywood that could accomplish that. Maybe Leonard Nimoy could point you in the right direction.

You're right of course. The short height is perhaps the biggest challenge, since the rest can be handled via the magic of Hollywood.

Wow! We've already received an audition tape from a young lady who wants to play 'Buffy the Bowgirl': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXSuZHNO548&feature=related.
(I think she's got the part) :dance:

For some reason the name Buffy will always be connected to Sarah Michelle Gellar in my head. ;) And she actually fits the requirements fairly well. At least the first two, which are the only really important ones (as The Vyper noted).

No need to say who the role model was for my Severus Snape character. I was even able to get a good likeness to Allan Rickman in the face gen.

Sarrah was based on Jennifer Connelly's character 'Sarah' from the movie Labyrinth. I saw Sarrah as the girl next door suddenly tossed into a shattering world of violence. The movie version of Sarah handled the situation quite well. My Sarrah went a little crazy.

I rolled Angel as a Breton child mage prodigy. I used the console to resize her. I see her as Kim Darby from the movie True Grit; "Hi, I'm Matte Ross from near Dardenalle in Yaw County." Oddly enough, I also relate her to Haley Joel Osment from the movie ' Artificial Intelligence: A.I'.

Yikes. I have to say I've never seen quite like that before. Her last shot was pretty amazing. :bowdown: :shocking:

Good question!

Kyraz the dremora: Michael Dorn
Malgak the Orc: Meatloaf

Or visa versa.

Renee Gade II (rogue-type warrior) was based on Xena, so Lucy Lawless would do fine to actually play her part. That's a slam-dunk.

Igodah Go^pe, my infamous high-elf mage, was statuesque and blonde. Good-looking but kinda distant and cold. I see her being played by any of dozens of B-actresses, but if I had to choose somebody famous it would have to be Kate Winslett. I can totally see Kate blabbing on Leno or the Today Show about getting in-character to play the mighty Oblivion Arch Mage!

Dyan phor a'Cauz, the red-headed paladin, could be played by Kirsten Dunst. Absolutely.

Oh! Jada Pinkett Smith would be perfect to play Wanda Bone the uneducated slave-theif!

My newest char (Luci Pheria the dark elf country-witch) could be played by Glenn Close or Sybil Sheppard or any middle-aged lady who doesn't mind wearing lots of green makeup and frizzy white hair. Other than occasional arcane incantations and NPC insults, whoever plays Luci wouldn't have much dialogue.

Unfortunately the only person I can think of to play my Byron Frost-Heart character would be... Steven Seagal? Then again that could be because I don't have a very good encyclopedia of actors in my head. :shrug:

I got to thinking that perhaps a young Sylvestor Stallone would be cool. Like in First Blood, a tactical person with a chip on the solider, smart but can use brute force as needed.

Yea he'd get all the best one-liners, too. I could totally see him:

"Yo! JUmp on mah sword while ya can!"

"Yo! I've fought some mudcrabs mo' feahsum than yoo!"

"Adrian!"

Interesting question. For my character I'd need a shorter guy who can play a pretty serious role. My character is an inward-looking stoic loner. Everything he does he does without error, but he is still humble and lives simply. Some movie characters that I could relate to my character are the likes of the main character in Jeremiah Johnson, Kyuzo in Seven Samurai, and Lai Qi in Warriors of Heaven and Earth.

The only actor I can really think of who might be a decent choice would be John Leguizamo. He's done a lot of different roles [and "weird" ones too (like in Arabian Nights), which is what this role would be as well] and I think he's a pretty good actor. Plus, he fits the body type of my Bosmer adventurer.

Mathew Grey Gubler from Criminal Minds would be pretty cool too.

I just watched Magnolia last night and Tom Cruise had a lengthy Rogue Knot. I suddenly had an epiphany, Tom Cruise IS a wood elf.

I'd rather sleep with my horse, ( just kidding ).

P.s just a note this was not meant to be a dig at magnolia the film, as it seemed to be at the time of posting.
Just a joke about a Bosmer reference made ingame, sorry Xarnac.
