Hi everybody,
today, while re-reading Shadow in the Sky, I started wondering: If this was a TV series, who would you cast for the main NPCs/BBEGs? This might be a fun exercise, because everybody reads characterizations in a different way. Also, it might give GMs handy ideas as to how to roleplay a certain character.
I would propose the following format:
For (NPC), I would propose (actor/actress), as seen in his/her role on (movie, series, whatnot).
To start it off:
For Saul Vancaskerkin, I read the description and immediately was reminded of James Gandolfini's main character in 'The Sopranos', Tony Soprano. A clever schemer, yet also a nice guy; a friend in the best and your most bitter enemy in the worst of times.
What's your take on this subject?
To combine those, gangster + short = Joe Pesci.
