ThaOGDreamWeaver Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 So: the great heroes and villains of our time tend to have something - or someone - that their performers use as a handle or key to get into the role. For Hannibal Lecter, Tony Hopkins used lizards and one of his beloved pet cats. (Note how rarely he blinks in the prison scenes.) Chadwick drew on assorted Shakespearean kings and their actors for the gentle gravitas of T'Challa. And then... well, there's this guy. Any others that would be good to know about? WAKE UP YA MISCREANTS AND... HEY, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SIGNATURE. Look out for me being generally cool, stylish and funny (delete as applicable) on Excelsior.

InvaderStych Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Might be more long-form than you're looking for .... https://www.npr.org/2022/03/10/1085780962/patrick-stewart-on-star-trek-picard "... I wanna hear the church bells ring, I wanna see the fog roll in; I don't mind the muddy water, I don't mind the ocean wind. Show me I'm alive right now, even if you gotta prick this skin ... Open up your eyes, open up your eyes, open up your eyes, OPEN UP YOUR EYES!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherTed Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I'm sorry to have posted this barely tangential thing, but I had to get it out of my system. If it helps, though, Tom Waits is one of my all-time favorite entertainers. He's the archetype we never knew we needed.

Sakura Tenshi Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Not as sophisticated as the inspirationals you all posted, but I did throw this together based on a character inspiration chart from the FFXIV community. And here's a blank version if anyone wants to mess with it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
