Does it need to be a current actor, Susan? This [link] is what your description reminded me of.

Gosh, Albert Finney was a pretty young thing once upon a time.

As was Terence Stamp: [link] (though the picture doesn't really do his Billy Budd era self justice.)

Does it need to be a current actor, Susan?

Not at all--I'm just trying to make something interesting and unique for my white elephant gift for my chapter's Christmas party, and while I'm at it experiment with collaging as a creative tool. (Some writers swear by it for unlocking a different, less logical and verbal, side of their creativity.)

But I think I'm going to go with what I have. I don't know why I'm taking such a literal approach to this one character--I mean, the character I'm representing with Alexis Denisof and Christopher Eccleston doesn't really look like either of them, beyond being lean, dark-haired, and blue-eyed. They just have the right essence, somehow, and I can imagine them playing the role well.

Happy msbelle & mac day (belated)! So awesome.

Also awesome? The dedication exhibited in finding Susan just the right visual representation of her character. Warms the cockles of my heart, it does.

As was Terence Stamp:

That's it! The rumpled hair, the relatively gentle features, the big eyes.

I have a plain bagel. Whitey didn't want a muffin. Are Jews considered whitey? Or are we whitey adjacent?

Is Jamie Bell pretty enough for what you're thinking, Susan?

I am going to have to kill Microsoft Publisher. I haven't yet worked out how to do it, but I'm afraid it needs to be put out of its misery.

sarameg - the drivers need both hands to clutch their milk and toilet paper, hon.

And bread! You cannot forget the bread. Which they probably wear as a hat.
