Where do you guys go to cast your novels? Just curious. Because I just noticed that ModelMayhem seem to have changed their format, you can't search by details anymore without a membership :(

I know. :( I've taken to random browsing through the photograph categories on Deviant Art. Founds some pretty awesome faces stashed away for other things.

And holy hell some of you have big casts.

(And so I'm not off topic entirely ...) I did use Tumblr and finally found someone that looks like my current MC. After weeks and weeks of looking. I should have dug through J-idols earlier.

Ren wishes he were this cool and mysterious.

Everyone else is "in my head".

Just gone through the entirety of this thread, think it might be my favourite.

The closest person I can find to my MC.

Need to procrastinate. Just found this gif that is oddly spot on for my MC's love interest (Hannah)

I just had a beta reader tell me that my MC reminded him of Ezra Miller. I'd never heard of him before, but when I googled him I was happy :)

Mine are all here, on a blogfest entry I did a while ago. I tried to go for very 'realistic' looking actors, ones that generally looked like people you'd find in your local school. Luke was the hardest to cast, being MMC, hot and a bit/a lot crazy.

Sixteen, going on seventeen Felicity Joanne Dennis, better known to a select few as Felix, is spending the summer before her senior year of high school at an elite internship, working at an archaelogical dig in Karnak, Egypt. Completely by accident, Felicity finds a scroll detailing the burning of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. Her discovery sets the team off on a chase through the deserts of Egypt and into the Holy City itself in search of the elusive Ark of the Covenant.

Joining the dig is eighteen year old Veronica Sinclair, the only child of the leads on the dig in Karnak. Spending the summer waiting for her college letters, Veronica is a vital member of the dig team. Relentlessly pursued by Nicholas Wexler, her father's rival's son, Veronica would rather lock herself in a room with Egyptian asps.

Yay, this got resurrected!

Hanna:

Mary Elizabeth Winstead (as Ramona Flowers from the Scott Pilgrim movie. Even though Hanna is a little more... full-figured, the face, the hair and the attitude fits to a T)

Asher:

(actor Matt Bomer. Look at those eyes :)

Byron:

Japanese rocker Miyavi

And Caroline:

Blake Lively. When I think "preppy princess with a darker side" she comes to mind. (Okay, not her per se, her character.)

I'm a total dork who likes to make collages of the families. All my characters are designer babies so pretty models/actors/footballers are canon.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this. I am a roleplayer and so putting faces to my casts is pretty natural to me. I actually started out my novel with my FMC's face being based on Leighton Meester long before I got the main plot--luckily, the more I work on the story the more I see the "actual" face of my characters in my head!

FMC: Leighton Meester
LI: Andrew Garfield

If you're looking for more gifs/pictures of her, the model's name is Cintia Dicker. But maybe you already knew that.

The Nexus
So, bout of insomnia... time to do the Storm Caller. Basic theme of this novel: think Avatar the Last Airbender meets 28 Days Later.

The Water-Wielding Aquans

avan-jogia.jpg


First Main PoV Character - Calin Cross, 18 (Avan Jogia)

... Emperor of the Aquan people, born for one thing: to die a horrible, agonizing death as his soul is sucked out of his body. That's the price required to fuel the Storm Caller, the Aquan people's only defense against the Ronins and their pet Infernen...

Something he'd like to avoid.

actress_sri_divya_cute_stills_photos_04.jpg


Main Support - Ezrai Baelin, 17 (Sri Divya)

Calin's most trusted bodyguard and childhood friend. Skilled with both blade and spear, she will protect Calin to her last breath, even betraying the Praetorians charged with insuring his sacrifice goes off without a hitch.

profile_4f4f40de65fcd.jpg


Support - Ayla Cross, 12 (Armaan Verma)

Calin's severely autistic youngest sister. Spends all day in the Imperial Palace, drawing pictures. Her drawings show the future. One of her pictures is of a relic long thought to be destroyed, one with the power to fuel the Storm Caller indefinitely. But there's a problem: this relic was lost in Arcadia. A ruined, abandoned kingdom that gets very crowded when night falls, and thousands of hungry, flesh-eating ghouls emerge from their caves.

201211072530_anas_rashid_1.jpg


Support - Hamish Baelin, 19 (Rajat Tokas)

Ezrai's older half-brother, a known catburgler within the Aquan Empire, though really, he just tripped and grabbed four people's money pouches in an effort to break his fall. Honest. When Calin pardons him from the Gallows, in exchange for his help to find a lost relic, Hamish is thrilled. That's like stealing, only without the unpleasent aftertaste.

shah-rukh-khan.jpg


Antagonist - Gorian Duman, 44 (Shah Rukh Khan)

Captain of Calin's Honor Guard - and the one that's entrusted with the responsibility of insuring Calin sacrifices himself to the Storm Caller when the time comes, whether he has to strap him down to the slab and slit his throat personally. He and his Praetorians will even follow Calin into Arcadia to bring him back for his sacrifice.

The Fire-Wielding Ronins

MitchHewerHair3.jpg


Second Main PoV Character - Rex Ronin, 18 (Mitch Hewer)

First Heir to the seat of The Lord Ronin. Rex believes his family is evil and will often act kind and generous, namely to piss off his father. Turns on his family when he's ordered to assassinate Calin and winds up helping Calin brave Arcadia, in hopes of forging a peace between their two people.

2012GameOfThronesJackGleesonPR240512.jpg


Antagonist - Kris Ronin, 16 (Jack Gleeson)

Second in line of succession, Kris would be The Lord Ronin's choice of heir were he not basically as dumb as a sack of potatoes. While Kris' bloodlust and cruelty are famous, he longs for Rex's approval, almost as much as the Lord Ronin's. When Rex is disowned for his betrayal, Kris takes Rex's betrayal personally, wondering if he could have prevented it by being a better brother - he's actually in danger of growing depth. That comes to a swift end when his father orders Kris to hunt him down to prove himself. Kris does this with relish, even leading an army into Arcadia to find him.

ActressSofia_Vespa_14845136.jpg


Support - Lydia Ronin, 15 (Sofia Vassilieva)

Third in line of succession for the seat of Lord Ronin and second only to Rex as a pyromancer, Lydia has begun down a dark path much like Kris, incapable of compassion and is basically Queen Bitch to anyone not in her family. Yet, the only thing surpassing her own desire for power is her love for Rex, who calls her "Sparkles." When Rex is disowned, Lydia commits herself to helping Kris, though with strong mixed feelings.

alexander-skarsgard-20090804-527584.jpg

Main Antagonist - The Lord Ronin, 39 (Alexander Skarsgård)

Leader of the Ronins who concerns himself with just two things: Rex's rebellious behavior and scorching the Aquans from the face of the world. The Lord Ronin decides to send Rex on a suicide mission and groom Kris for the leadership role, hoping a few decades can instill at least a little brains into his psychopathic second son. When Rex betrays, he charges Kris with his apprehension and execution.

I don't have actual actors in mind, but here are some pictures that I've found via Google image search...

teen_boy.jpg


Christian Marx, 17 - Was a grade school loner, raised in a low income, single parent home (Mom). Befriended MC Maye on her first day as the new girl in third grade, and has been head over heels for her since. Hangs with a group of kids that also live in his apartment complex when at school, but is generally at Maye's house the rest of the time.

20120416204162951543.jpg


Mayfair (Maye) Miller, 16 - Painfully shy (had a hard time finding a photo I liked, since I don't imagine Maye enjoying being in them, or wearing makeup) to the point of choosing to home school from ninth grade on because she and Christian were to have different lunch periods for the first time. Has never had a friend other than Christian. Prefers to stay home if given a choice. Hobbies include reading, knitting, and hanging out with her Mother's Border Collie, Fly.

beautifulgirldarkhairgreeneyesbeautyeyesgirl-32bcb7c5a7bf1157b4822ad8d0ab30c9_h.jpg


Rowan (Rowe) Miller, 13 - Just 4 when the girls' Mother died and their Father checked out of daily life, Rowe's naturally fiery attitude was left unchecked and undisciplined, although her fearless confidence isn't quite as strong as she'd like people to think. She would also likely be much less "made up" than the girl in this photo, and prefers wearing things like band tees, jeans, and Doc Martens.

Oh, this is so much fun! Time to do this for my current WIP Storm Beneath :)


astrid-berges-frisbey-09-reporters.jpg


FMC - Laire Keaton, 16 (Astrid Berges-Frisbey)
Since Laire is tall and all legs and boney body structure in the beginning of my book, Astrid fits perfectly. Although Laire's eyes are brown and her hair is one big mess. Once the LI introduces her to a balanced but dangerous lifestyle to help her maximize her powers she gains some weight... But until then Astrid is a nice reference. :)


colton-haynes-colton-haynes-11814032-457-604_thumb.jpg

MMC/LI - Elijah Pierce, 18 (Colton Haynes)
Colton would have to dye his hair dark but he has the light eyecolor, and the one-sided dimple that make him a perfect fit for Eli. He seems a bit of a dull male-model type but if I imagine him portraying the dangerous and the nice sides of Elijah, I'm okay. Plus, I think he can do very angry. As in, murderer angry.


Allie+Gonino+Whitney+Eve+Front+Row+Fall+2012+PpYK3WyQpU-l.jpg

Supporting - Ende Hardford, 16 (Allie Gonino)
Put her in a pair of tight leather jeans, give her an edgy hair cut and have her make out with another girl and you hit Ende spot on. I don't know if Allie's short enough, as Ende is commonly called dwarf but I'm in love with that heart-shaped face. You think she's the sweetest girl ever, oblivious to all the secrets she's hiding under her bed.


emma-stone-biography.jpg

Supporting - Melanie, 17/22 (Emma Stone)
Okay, I just put Emma in this because she's the first red-head that sprung to my mind who doesn't have a doll's face! I do think she could pull off playing a two-faced bitch who gives a damn about the feelings of her girlfriend as long as she can do her job.

colin-farrell.jpg

Supporting - Aaron Snow (Colin Farrell)
Aaron is probably the most complicated character in this book. And he won't even be in more than a few flashbacks and the last twenty pages. Colin Farrell looks like he could have killed 36 people, still be heads over heels for his High School sweetheart and be the cutest father ever.


Yay! I had fun! :hooray:

Jesse Cooper: Seventeen, thoroughly average, a hoodie-wearing introvert with a few close friends. His life is upended when he receives four secret admirer notes at Christmastime, and with the help of his best friend, he embarks on a quest to figure out the senders' identities.

(Evan Peters as Jesse)

Kristen Leibowitz: Jesse's best friend since grade school. An academic overachiever, prone to dramatics, and spectacularly foul-mouthed. Forever coming up with schemes and scams. Secretly in love with her best friend.

(Jane Levy as Kristen)

Wendy Liao: One of Jesse's admirers. Smart, driven, sometimes a bit of a steamroller; loves romantic comedies and shopping. Manages to be both a responsible, hard-working straight A student and a bubbly gossip. A hardcore Republican, which proves to be the dealbreaker in their fledgling relationship.

(Ellen Wong as Wendy)

Colin Finn: Another one of Jesse's secret admirers, as well as one of his close friends. An eternal optimist and sweetheart who can nonetheless be a bit of a jerk when other peoples' feelings are involved.

(Josh Hutcherson as Colin)

Miranda Duncan: Another one of the secret admirers, though she doesn't know Jesse very well. Though she's spent much of her life going along with the status quo, she's starting to pull away from her popular, troublemaking friends and question what she's been told she wants - and crushing on a totally average guy is an obligatory part of that.

Sophie Cooper: Jesse's twelve-year-old sister. An honest-to-god child star whose career co-opts most of their parents' time. A sweet kid, if a bit of a brat at times.

I swear, I spent like 20 minutes looking for a blond teen actor who actually WASN'T hot for my second lead.

You got better odds of finding a diva in a Godiva chocolate factory than a headshot of a teen actor who doesn't look gorgeous these days. Suppose I could have gone with a complete unknown from Getty or something, but finding actual actors/actresses is half the fun. :)

I only know what my main character looks like:

Elizabeth%2BGillies%2BLiz%2B3.jpg

Jenna​

Everyone else is "in my head".

Ha! My daughter and I picked Elizabeth Gillies for a screenplay/novel I just did. I think we'll see this young lady go on to do more serious acting later on. (and yes, my kids make me watch way too much Nickelodean)

Naomi Bridges- Protagonist. She was in a car accident two years ago that killed her family and caused amnesia. Now she is 19 and trying to regain her memories. She just found out (possibly for the second time) that she is psychic.

Lucas Hall- A mysterious "family friend" who came to Naomi for help, not knowing that she had amnesia. He is trying to help her get her memory back so that she can help him find some information that her mother knew. He has a lot of secrets and a dark past.

Lydia (she doesn't have a last name yet)- Main antagonist. She is sneaky and deceitful. She has a sense of entitlement, and she is ruthless when it comes to getting what she wants.

I share most of this kind of information with my sister (also a writer). She pointed out to me that every actor I picked was at one time or another on the show One Tree Hill :Headbang: Not only that, but CMM's character was named Lucas. I can't change the name because that name BELONGS to my character, so I will probably just have to push his face out of my head.


I have two supporting characters that I don't feel like writing about, but they look like Samarie Armstrong and Seth Rogan lol
