starblaze Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hello all, Sometime ago I had the players in my WWII superhero game try to imagine what movie actors could play their characters. It basically came down to this: Major Glory, patriot brick: Dolph Lundgreen Jade, shapeshifting martial artists gypsy: Jane Russell Bjorn, norwegian werebear: Max Von Snydow Makeshift, mentalist/gadgeteer: Matt LeBlanc So far it has helped to make the game alot more fun for us. So I was wondering if you other players had ever done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGreenwade Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Okay, here are a few of mine: Captain Glory, patriotic martial artist/gadgeteer: George Eads Captain Photon, goofball energy projector: Ted Raimi Laughing Boy, clown-themed gadgeteer: Gordon Michael Woolvedt [sp?] Rattler, serpentine mentalist/martial artist: Arsenio Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Shrike Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 My current character Hype (a over-caffeneited speedster) sort of defies conventional Hollywood type casting, but in the past Ive based characters on Bruce Lee (no, Im not one of those supporating Bruce Lee fan boys; it just happened to fit the character concept ) , Tim Roth from Hoodlum, Bruce Willis from the Jackal, and similar fare.

Tempuswolf Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Originally posted by Killer Shrike Aside from Arsenio, Ive never heard of any of these people Eads is Nick from CSI? Ted Raimi was the comic relief on Xena, can't remember the name, also on Seaquest DSV. Can't place the other guy. My character is a kid, I sorta based him on the claymation Mike from Gary & Mike so live action would be a young Harland Williams, but good-looking . Mr. Williams would have many long hours in the make-up, my character is blue too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Powerman: Brendan Fraiser Aikido : Framke Jenssen Grand Mantis: Jason Scott Lee Shadowglow - Salma Hyaek can't think of more at this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Speaking Herc and Xena, Superion one of my Hero/Antagonists is based visually on the guy who plays Ares in those two fine epics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Seeman Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Tekno would be played by Gale Harold or Johnny Depp. Cadeceus would be played by Mark Wahlberg or Ethan Embry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Tonight, due to illness, the part of Captain Tempest will be played by Captain Tempest.... skewing a Dennis Leary intro. Actually, I think the guy who plays the lead in Television's the Beast Master would make a spiffy CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Worldmaker Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Ballistic: John Leguizamo Dogfight: Arnold Vosloo The Shield: Kieth David. These are the bodycasts I use in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Scales: CGI, Hmm, not sure of the voice, something with a Kellsey Grammer speech pattern, but sent through a metallic grater...Road Runner: A younger James Caan, say vintage 1975 since RR was based off his character in Rollerball...Blazer: Vera VangaurdSpectrum: Jill Hennessy Hmm, not sure of the rest.

Mayday Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Ares was played by Kevin Smith, who died in a car accident. Sob. Mayday would be played by Melody Perkins. http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-19133 ShadowCross probably Sharon Stone.

Brandi Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Irving (the NYPL lion): Either Ray Harryhausen or John Lasseter animating him; voice by James Earl Jones. Maybe vocoded slightly to sound a bit raspier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheImperialKhan Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Centurion was Pierce Brosnan. Nighthawk was Alec Baldwin ( the way he looked in Hunt for Red October ). Longbow was Guy Williams ( the way he looked in Damon and Pythias ). and Patriot was Howie Long. There were buttloads of others but those are the major ones. I have made a habit of casting all my characters after reading an article about it in an old issue of Adventurers Club that Allston wrote.

Darth Sarcastic Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Well being that I've only been GM-ing HERO "stuff" lately, I'd have to say Sean Connery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
