Character Pictures: Reality Check
By some miracle I have zilch to be done for school that isn't due this week... so TA-RAAAA! Complete with personal comments/monologue! Booyah!
DELANEY DUNCAN
(Scout Taylor-Compton)
Laney was literally the last character whose picture I managed to score, mostly because I couldn't seem to find someone with the right mix of innocence, worldliness and hidden fire in them. I didn't want an Alexis Bledel or Leighton Meester, too. Who'd believe she was someone from the middle tier of the social pyramid looking like that? Scout does her justice, IMO ;) She isn't exactly model-type pretty, but pretty in a different way, if that makes sense. Look at her roar! Just imagine her with crazy pink and black streaks through her hair now.
GUY SCHULLER
(Aaron Johnson)
My second choice was Gaspard Ulliel, but eh, he's too French/exotic looking for Guy. Too sneaky-looking for my tastes too (even if Guy IS sneaky). Aaron Johnson, on the other hand... ummm. YES, PLEASE. How cute was he in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging? Just pretend he has dark blue eyes instead of green and you have Guy. His hair fits, his face fits, the way he walks fits... purrrfect. Or yummyyyy. Both work.
ALEXA 'LEXIE' LYONS
(Alicia Witt/Alyson Hannigan)
Alyson Hannigan is my girl crush. True fact. (Kait, I know we used her for Dani, but I couldn't resist!) Loved her in Veronica Mars, American Pie, the one episode of How I Met Your Mother I watched, and what little I watched of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She + Alexis Denisof + Satyana = ADORABLE. (Yes, I mentioned them in RC in regards to Laney/Guy :P that is not a premonition of any sort.) She looks sort of playful and sweet, something Lexie is most of the time when she hasn't lost her temper or gone all intense/competitive - what Alicia Witt looks here. There's your reason for my indecision.
DYLAN PALMATIER
(Andrew McMahon)
ANDREWWWWWWW!!!!! *continues for approx. 7.63 seconds* This is him from the old Something Corporate days. He looks a lot cleaner-cut now, but zomg was he cute in a nerdy sort of way or what? His glasses! Rawrrr. He also fronts Jack's Mannequin, one of my favourite bands ever. If you've never heard of them or Something Corporate, GO DOWNLOAD THEIR STUFF NOW. You won't regret it. 'Miss Delaney' is where I got Laney's name from, anyhow ;) Andrew isn't afraid to cuss when he wants to or say what's on his mind - just like Dylan. Too bad Dylan can't play an instrument to save his life.
ISAAC DANTE
(Michael Angarano)
The Big Guy's best friend to the helm! I was ready for Connor Paolo (Eric from Gossip Girl) to be Isaac before that kid from 24 who got kidnapped by terrorists came to mind... bam, he turned out to be of Italian descent. SCORE. Again, he's got a vibe around him that screams 'don't take me seriously!' even if he does staid and steady like a pro. Someone's got to keep Guy grounded ;) Michael Angarano doesn't have curly hair, though, so just picture him poodle-haired. Or something.
LIZA RICHMOND
(Emily Perkins)
Holy crap, I can't believe I forgot about casting her! Blasphemy! Anyway, Emily Perkins is Eunice from She's the Man and Becky from Supernatural. Ditzy, kind of crazy, all Liza. Picture her with wild blonde hair out there (a la Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter) and you've got her.
MANDY KLINER
(Kathleen Robertson)
Yep, the girl from Scary Movie. And the earlier version of 90210, though I never watched that. Mandy is the 'Bitch' of Jamison Park High, the girl who thinks she's above everyone else. More of her to come in future chapters.
GAVIN BARKER
(Jake McDorman)
Aww, I love me some Gavin. He's a sweetheart. Again, more of him to come in future chapters ;) And note his last name. Heh.
NORA CHO
(Judy Ho)
I think it says something of my love for Veronica Mars that I actually remembered the character of Jilly Ho, who appeared for about 20 seconds in 1 episode. :D Nora might not be the type to wear a polo/collared shirt, but lovin' the braid! It's exactly what Nora would do with her hair. Dotty musician, Y/Y...?
JIMMY 'JARHEAD' ROLAND
(Ryan Hansen)
Who ♥s Veronica Mars? Not me, not me... *yanks hand down from air* No one else but Dick Casablancas, a veritable dick himself, can be Jimmy in my eyes. That guy does and says everything. It's like his internal censor got censornapped by aliens.
MORE TO COME
