I was just replaying Drake's Deception, and I wound up sort of accidentally casting Team!Drake in my head for no real reason. It was weird.
And, uh, the Bioshock thing is because I love the Luteces, and also I sort of always saw them played by these actors from the very beginning, like, while I'm reading a fanfic? THIS IS HOW THE LUTECE TWINS LOOK IN MY HEAD.
I couldn't think of anyone for A LOT of Uncharted characters, and the lack of Talbot and Harry in particular is making me insane. HELP PLZ.
ALSO I AM TOO LAZY TO RESIZE SHIT, SO HUGE ASS PICS BEHIND THE CUT.
Nathan Drake Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Look I get the Nathan Fillion thing. I absolutely see it. I JUST SEE THIS MORE.
Nikolaj is a bit more buff than Fillion which fits because PARKOUR ALL OVER THE PLACE, and I think he's just as charasmatic and adorable; seriously, try NOT to love Jaime Lannister. I know I'm biased because he was my favorite character from reading the books, but for real, Nikolaj is LIKEABLE which is sort of Nate's thing. Everyone loves Nate. You'd hug him if you could, don't pretend you wouldn't.
Also RUGGEDLY HANDSOME LIKE WHOA. Dye that hair brown and the look is pretty similar.
This is the only gif I'm using, but I love it too much not to. HIS ARMS ARE SO PRETTY <3 <3 <3
Annnnnd I am also adding Nathan Fillion here because NO REALLY, I GET IT.
To be fair, I honestly can't think of another actor who looks as much like Nate, and personality blah blah yeah it works.
Victor Sullivan BRUCE CAMPBELL GUYS.
BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT BRUCE CAMPBELL LOOKS LIKE WITH SULLY'S PIMP STACHE.
Frankly I feel like that picture totally makes my point, but since I love Sully to pieces, let me add that I think the action-y charisma-y vibe Bruce Campbell has going fits super well. Also, holy shit, LOOK AT THAT PICTURE.
Elena Fisher Emily Rose
I almost feel like I'm cheating using her VA, but I knew Emily Rose before I knew Uncharted thanks to watching Haven, so I think this one gets a pass. I know she can pull off badass action girl-ness from Haven, and I seriously think that out of all of the characters she's the one who looks most like the actor. So.
Charlie Cutter Jason Statham
BECAUSE IF ANYONE INVOLVED SAYS THAT THEY WERE IN NO WAY INFLUENECED BY JASON STATHAM WHEN COMING UP WITH CHARLIE THEY ARE FUCKING LYING.
Seriously though, besides the obviously similar look, they both have kind of a similar laid back feel to them. Jason is always at his most awesome when he's playing a con-man.
Chloe Frazer Lauren Cohan
Oh God, I thought about this FOREVER because I seriously love Chole and there are so many sexy British actresses that I want to be her. And then the Walking Dead thing jumped on board, and Lauren kicks ALL OF THE ASS, and I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN NOW.
Fun fact! If you don't think Bom-Chicka-Wow subconsciously when you see a picture of an actress, she isn't allowed to play Chloe <3
Kid!Nathan Drake Chandler Riggs
I hate this picture, and wish I could find a better, more recent one, since he's aged a lot since this? Anyway.
This probably would never have occured to me if it hadn't been for the fact that I was playing Drake's Deception while also going into my Walking Dead revival, but I LOVE Kid!Drake, he's such a precious adorable little shit <3 And Chandler Riggs really looks like him! It's the eyes I think. He has that kind of lanky body and sullen look Kid!Drake had too, plus he's genuinely a good actor.
Katharine Marlowe
Helen Mirren
IF ANYONE ELSE WAS CAST AS MARLOWE I WOULD CRY.
Thoughts? Have a head canon of your own? DO SHARE. ALSO TOSS A HARRY AND A TALBOT AT ME BECAUSE I CANNOT. THINK. OF. ANYTHING. ):
I lied about Bioshock. I only have the Luteces. Although Naomi Harris would make a fabulous Daisy Fitzroy!
Rosalind Lutece Amy Adams
AHAHA~ AMERICAN HUSTLE COSTUMES <3 <3 <3
Robert Lutece Tom Hiddleston
THIS COMMERCIAL. I think Mark Strong was in it too! (oh oh oh Mark Strong would be a good Lazerevich OH GOD WHY CAN'T I STOP DOING THIS)
I have literally no reason for these two other than CANNOT UNSEE. Although I'd adore Robert's VA (Oliver Vaquer) to play him because he serious looks like they mo-capped him and also I love him a little bit, Hollywood movies generally don't snag somewhat unknown VAs for parts.
They generally don't get actors NEARLY THIS GOOD for video game adaptations either, but I can dream. <3
PS: SUDDEN DISHONORED HEADCANON!CASTING.
Corvo Attano NORMAN MOTHERFUCKING REEDUS
YESSSSS I FOUND A PLACE TO CRAM HIM
AND IN MY FAVORITE GAME EVER. WHERE IN MY HEAD!CANON HE'D TOTALLY BE HAVING SEX WITH COLIN MORGAN, AND COLIN WOULD BE ON TOP.
*DED*
I really never caught this before since Corvo is A: The main character whose viewpoint you share and B: WEARING A MASK and also I may have been a bit preoccupied with The Outsider what, but in the few official images of Maskless!Corvo, he really does look a LOT like Norman. It's the eyes and the hair <3
The Outsider Colin Morgan
I can't head!cast Corvo and leave my favorite character uncast; especially since I didn't even come up with this one, like, EVERYONE AT MIRRORMATCHME DID <3 <3 <3
PS: I HAVE REACHED THE POINT OF MY PREGNANCY WHERE I KIND OF JUST WANT TO RIP THE KID OUT AND GET IT OVER WITH SO THAT I CAN SLEEP WITHOUT HIM KICKING ME IN THE KIDNEYS? CLEARLY LITTLE NICK FURY IS ALREADY WORKING ON HIS S.H.I.E.L.D. TRAINING.
PPS: MANUSHAK IS SERIOUSLY ANGRY WITH ME BECAUSE I'M HAVING A BOY AND SHE'S NOT GETTING A LITTLE SISTER. IT'S SUPER CRAZY PRECIOUS WHEN IT'S NOT IRRITATING.
PPPS: WHY AM I SCREAM!TYPING ALL OF THIS?!?
