Listen, I cast actors as my characters. It's just that simple. When I write, it helps me to have a visual reference in my head to go by. That's why Eddie Izzard (see avatar) is Ian, Bruce Willis is Ozzy, and Billy Zane is Turkish. Prometheus and Foreman are the only two characters I've melded together in my head as being parts of many actors.

And you know, it's suprising that I haven't created a character based off Mel Gibson......hmmmmm........
