VampireNaomi Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I'm sure we have all wondered what Manny and the rest looked like with skin, right? Well, why don't we talk about that for a change, and perhaps post pictures of actors and friends who we think resemble some characters? I'll start with Nick. When I saw Julian McMahon in TV several days ago I couldn't help but think that he looked just like Nick. Take a look: However, a bit later my mom made me watch one of her favourite series. I don't really know what it was about, but the main character was a lawyer called Nick. He also looked like what I had imagined him to be like. See: And you know what? The actor, Simon Baker, will be in a new movie called "Land of the Dead". Quite a coincidence, eh? So, after reading my little rant you can either say which actor you think is the best Nick, start talking about who looks like some other character, or tell me that I have no life if I find enough time to talk about something like this. Go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 WOW great idea..never thought about that. Man if this is coincidence...it cant be just that. I dont know who could look-a-like Manny or Salvador, for example I will think about that. The only thing I imagine while talking about Sal with skin is his voice actor in grimE. It one nice possibility of how he could look like... same for Manny Shame on me I dont know the names ...I could look on the page...^^ Yeah...nice thread by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Here's my choice for Chowchilla Charlie: He's John Cazale (R.I.P.), one of my all time favourite actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JofaGuht Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 No way dude. Chow Chilla Charlie is made to be Peter Lorre. I don't know about actors, but my friend's Mom looks a lot like Lupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 *curious* Who is Peter Lorre? I better go and find pictures. ... ... Ooh! It's Ugarte! Now I will remember that actor's name forever. You know, when I posted my previous post I knew someone would suggest Lorre. Ah, I just watched Casablanca again two days ago. And that reminds me... Only Claude Rains could be Bogan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necroman Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 This idea of searching for actors that might resemble one of the GF characters is very...well it takes a lot of time. I got a beter idea, you all know about those Discovery shows when those guys find a skull they make a copy and starts adding skin n' hair n' stff, well think of a realistic image of any GF character and do what those guys do and...okay, I just realised how stupid my idea was so I'm just going to stop now.

El Virus Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 It is a special anthropology and forensic program, but it's not difficult to use (there is a computer version) but consider that some skulls (such as Manny's) don't have a human-like shape. But who knows, it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JofaGuht Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Originally posted by VampireNaomi *curious* Who is Peter Lorre? I better go and find pictures. Well, Peter Lorre was in Casablanca as well. He was the guy who counterfeited passports early on in the film, much like Charlie. In fact, it's most likely he's the basis for the character. He had the bulgey eyes and he kind of looked like a chihuahua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Virus Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I Agree, they do look alike. He played the role of Ugarte, a shame he was captured early in the movie. PS: He has also been on "The Maltese Falcon", another great film noir movie here's a picture: http://www.reelclassics.com/Actors/Lorre/images7/lorre_faceshot.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Maybe somebody with some spare time could make some fan-art with the various characters in a life-like form. It wouldn't have to necessarily be realistic. Once I've got some spare time from college (much more time demanding than I thought it would be this year) to get back to work on the GFN, I'll probably add a special section for this. If nobody else is interested, I'll make some myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have to necessarily be realistic. Rei Nokato (an excellent fanfic author who I've been trying to lure to these forums) is drawing a picture of living Domino. She already sent me a list of his hair colour, body built etc. to make sure we had the same ideas. I've been trying to draw living Olivia for a while now, but I haven't had much success. All I can draw is anime style, and that doesn't really suit GF characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JofaGuht Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 If you noired up her make up a tad and got her to speak like Olivia. Stephanie Romanov (Lilah, Wolframm & Hart lawyer from Angel) might make a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 No no, I won't show my Olivia pictures to anyone before I get pleasing results. And JofaGuht, I really like your choice for Olivia. I had my doubts at first, but now that I think about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Virus Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I was watching the Maltese Falcone again, and I realised that Sydney Greenstreet (Kasper Gutman, The Fatman; And also starred on Casablanca as Ferrari) is similar to Max, and his character on Casablanca looks like Hector. Picture: http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/40/56/12m.jpg Also there are some similarities between H.Bogart and Manny. http://i.imdb.com/mptv1.gif the croupier on Rick's Café looks like the one on Calavera café.

JofaGuht Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I was wrong about Stephanie Romanov. Cantherine Keener (Being John Malkovich) IS Olivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(By the way the links I posted before can't be viewed, just go to the main page.) I always got the impression that Bogart was pretty short. He had to stand on bricks or something like that in Casablanca so that Ingrid Bergman wouldn't look taller (even though she was). JofaGuht: Hey, she's excellent too. Now I can't decide which I like more. I mean, just look at this picture of Stephanie: I'm so like Olivia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Virus Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Yeah, he does seem shorter on the M. Falcon, but still Manny's skull adds to his height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I was watching one of the cutscenes today and thought that if they cut the "extra part" of his skull, he would be really short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Virus Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 The other day, I was watching "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", a very old show, on the Retro channel, when I noticed that on an episode, they found a city under the sea, that city is very similar to the border of the world, as well as the submarine, has anybody seen that episode?
