DE: Who Are You?

[bjornwilde]

 Quoth the minkhollow :

IMDb flu! Who's throwing a character in? What are you planning to do to them? What shenanigans are you hoping will ensue?

 

If you want to participate but aren't sure what to do to a character toss them in the ring and let everyone else make suggestions!

I'm definitely going to make Valjean think he's Wolverine. Mainly because I'm dying for him to tell someone to go fuck themselves. And the hair, obvs. Gotta have the hair.

Haven't decided re: Javert yet, but it's mighty tempting to go Gladiator.

Gene - omfg, so many options. Have to think about that.

[yakalskovich]

Have you seen a 'A Good Year' AKA 'Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe prove that they can do comedy, too?' It's hilarious! **tempts**

[last_kallig]

The only one of mine I could do the IMDb flu with is Ibani, as she has a canonical voice actress. But, it seems rather early in her existence to inflict that amount of Milliways weirdness on her. (Also, I'm not sure what other characters Xanthe Elbric has played for Bioware.)

[saphyria]

As my only character with a set human PB, I'm totally throwing Sunshine in. Current plan is for her to be Amelia Earhart from Night at the Museum 2, mainly so she can use exclamations like "Great Gatsby!" and "Criminy! We're jimmy-jacked!" Because who can resist?

The only thing that might change that is I'm going to go see "American Hustle" tomorrow evening, and if Amy Adams' character in that speaks to me, I might go with her for IMDb flu. ^_^

[minkhollow]

WAY TO MAKE ME WISH I STILL PLAYED LARRY

[yakalskovich]

Hannibal gets Mads Mikkelsen's character from 'En Kort En Lang', because it will be amusing to have him be a nice bumbling charming young gay Danish comedy character.

To the rest, I'm afraid the IMDb flu situation doesn't apply. I've never seen anything with Katrina's or Poins' actors (Poins' actor is in the last episode of some period drama series with the Cucumberpatch the Nazgul and I haven't got round to watching yet, but I don't have the time to ingest that before the flu starts), Teja is all out of The Crow, the others don't catch flu or suchlike, or are on the way out (Krampus, Tower, Sirona) and my two new charries, although comparatively hopeful for IMDb flu purposes (especially Veronica Ferres for Madame Thénardier, which enables me to draw on oodles of German films nobody else knows) won't be in yet. So I shall stick with the gay Dane and make the most of it.

[electro_kinetic]

David Dawson is Fred Best on Ripper Street (which is awesome, you should watch it) and was some rich young dude in Secret Diary of a Callgirl. If you want to go either of those routes, and personally I think him being the newspaper guy would be great. >>

[alas_a_llama]

Yugo will be the only one of mine being thrown into this, and in his case, Atsumi Kanno has only really had one other major role: As a sociopathic rich kid/teenage prostitute who psychologically torments his teacher/one-time john.

I've only seen a few clips of the film, but he's pretty creepy. So that'll be fun for people who know him.

Essentially, he will be having the precise opposite change to Hannibal Lecter, thus proving that there is balance in the universe.

[yakalskovich]

I don't think Hannibal has even met Yugo -- among yours, he only knows Sherral and probably Atton? We should do something with them, at least under the influence of the flu, to demonstrate that balance.

[the_lioness]

Alanna is hard because of the whole disguised as a boy thing, but I've always thought Victoria (Twilight) or Gwen Stacy would be funny. And I just realized looking at IMDB that both her PBs (though I'm transitioning to BDH again) have played the same character in the Terminator movies. *snorts*

Grace is TOTES going to think she's Ed from Raising Arizona. And possibly Penny from O Brother, Where Art Thou? Suggestions for shenanigans are welcome. SHENANIGANS.

Lizzie might think she's a different Lizzie entirely, one who is very opinionated on the subject of a Mr. William Darcy.

Doctor Evil might think he's Wayne. Or Austin. I can't decide.

[never_shall_yield]

Doctor Evil as Wayne would be THE BEST THING EVER. :D!!!

[damncompass]

Joshua will likely be sitting this one out, alas, mostly because his actor... hasn't been in much. He might have half a day of thinking he's a socialite from an NCIS episode, but that's not much fun.

Helena, I have PLANS for. It's going to be awful, but hilarious at the same time.

I might end up having Mark run around and say 'Good Grief!' a lot and get a kite stuck in a tree. (Anthony Rapp was in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown)

Fantine and Valentine are sitting this one out. Unless I decide to be very cruel and make Valentine a vampire.

ETA: OH OH OH OH OH. Psych muns, I might be convinced to do a stint of Mark thinking he's Z from the musical episode. Any takers?

[craftylildoodlepumpkin]

*pops in to say YES PLEASE and I'll be showing this to Becky ASAP!*

[no_vampires_plz]

Twilight's VA is Tara Strong, who, like many voice actors, has been in freaking everything. Given that another Tara Strong character was Patient Zero for the first run of the IMDb flu, it would be a crime not to use her.

[bjornwilde]

I am not sure if I will be participating, mostly due to the fact my time seems to be rather constrained as of late. That being said, my main temptations are:

Mulan as either Amber from Sucker Punch (cause Bunny Mech) or Aimi Yoshida from the X-Men: Destiny video game (cause mutants are fun and her running around thinking someone has stolen her powers can be fun).

Quinlan could be fun as Conan.

And then Brimstone as Caliban due to the human PB I used but I don't think I could write Shakespeare well enough.

[yakalskovich]

Does Caliban have to talk in full blank verse? Not everybody needs to go the way I went with Poins, especially not when only infected for a week or two.

[sdelmonte]

Kevin McNally was on SPN two years back. So look out for something...conspiratorial.

Jeffery Combs voiced the Question on JLU, but I just don't think I could pull off playing either Weyoun or Brunt without a lot of research. Though there is Prof. Hatecraft.

[1nv1nc1ble]

Go with the classics. Herbert West, Re-Animator.

[bcgphoenix]

I still haven't decided whether to drop Gaeta into the plot, because he's got enough stuff going on in his afterlife right now. I can't bear to be too mean to him.

However: Alessandro Juliani has a very storied voice acting career that includes L from the English dub of Death Note, several princes from the Barbie movies, and Gambit from X-Men Evolution. So. :D?

[jothra]

ahahaha if only I still played Misa.

But please, please make him a Barbie prince. Oh please.

[1nv1nc1ble]

When this was suggested, I realized that I haven't watched anything with Patrick Cavanaugh in it, even "Mad Men." I think Mark may be sitting this one out, unless someone has a suggestion.

[bjornwilde]

How about Damian Wayne (from Batman The Brave and the Bold)? Here's a youtube link, which should start with Patrick voicing a young Damian.

[minkhollow]

Between the Neverwhere radio play and Elementary, I feel honor-bound to hit Cata harder than I did the first time she had IMDb flu. (HEY FLYNN: I would be particularly interested in having her bump into Sherlock during this, as he'll alternately freak her the hell out because Islington and make her scoff because WRONG SHERLOCK. :D?)

[1stwitness]

Gavroche needs to meet this other younger Door.

[aberration]

I'm planning on putting Elle in as Anna from Frozen, because her having that warm, bright, much more Kristen Bell-like personality is super hilarious to me. And the only other Kristen Bell role I really know all that well is Veronica Mars, and... thinking she was someone with that close a relationship with her father would be actually traumatizing for Elle. Which, no. Bright, happy, sweet personality dammit! She might even sing! Oh god, she'll probably sing. And build an Olaf. Does someone want to build a snowman with her???

But I don't have anyone else in mind. Asami's voice actor's funny A:TLA-related other job is already quasi built into my headcanon to amuse me (even if it means acknowledging that The Last Airbender exists at all); the only other Mae Whitman role I know is Roxie Richter which would be... too weird for Katara, even if gay ninja Katara would be pretty fun; and I actually haven't really seen the stuff my other PBs have been in, even Amy Poehler. Um.

[damncompass]

.... is it bad that part of me wants to see Charlie Brown make a snowman with Anna? *eyes Mark* They totally could do it in song.

[newredshoes]

Still trying to decide whether to make Hotspur a fast-talking Merrie Man or a sweater vest-wearing biologist with a hilariously posh accent. Either way, though, I just gotta.

[vivien]

Bela Talbot as Maggie Green from The Walking Dead...

HMMMMMMMMMMM

[minkhollow]

Completely unrelated to IMDb flu, but: Tom and Regulus should talk sometime.

[mnt_mike]

SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!

Adult Aang could be from "The Cutting Edge."
Bumi from "Office Space."

Mike could be Cousin Oliver, or Jon Arbuckle, or...Cripes, anyone else Meyer has been. Not to mention the new guy who's from the Bay flick. (Heh...Ian's closeted townie lover. *mad cackles*)

Splinter could think he was Elmo or Aku (Samurai Jack) or even...Uncle Iroh.

Raph could be a Human Thing or a Baltimore City Vice Cop. Or...a transporter.

The Loompas would just be Korn. Like...for serious, just Korn. Or maybe Korn from their South Park appearance, where they can actually turn into corn.

HELP!

[1nv1nc1ble]

Splinter could think he was Elmo or Aku (Samurai Jack) or even...Uncle Iroh.

Or the Emperor of Japan.

(One of these days, I'm going to play Red Alert 3, just to watch George Takei and Tim Curry chew scenery at each other.)

[cameoflage]

I do not have a PB for Aradia so she will abstain! However, Thurlow will experience the many shenanigans of thinking they are the other characters I've cosplayed!

Due to some vague intention of using cosplay photos for icons I decided to constrain it to characters I have half-decent pictures of myself as (and while I've cosplayed a couple of my OCs I think that would be straining the limits of self-indulgence so I'm planning to leave them off the list too). The list thus consists of two incarnations of The Doctor (Eight and Eleven), Dave Strider from Homestuck, and the Hunter from Left 4 Dead. Because if the flu's gonna make you feel like the walking dead, it may as well be a parkour-jumping, screeching, clawing at people's guts type of walking dead. (Claws sold separately.)

[electro_kinetic]

I am up for this! Give me suggestions for ALL MY PUPS, folks.

[yakalskovich]

Hal => F. Scott Fitzgerald, or Adam the vampire.

[bbq_platypus]

Jim is definitely going to be in on this. I've already had him be Willy Wonka and Frederick Frankenstein. He'll probably end up becoming at least those two.

Leela and Kane are sitting this one out. Joe Kucan has literally not starred in anything else (a shame, he's quite good as Kane). Louise Jameson has apparently been on Emmerdale and EastEnders, but I know fuck all about English soaps, and don't have any intention of remedying that.

Caius, based on his PB, could become James Bond, or (to be more age-appropriate) John Mason from The Rock. But if I'm going by the voice actor who plays him (along with all the other male Imperials in Morrowind), I could have him end up as Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. That might be more fun.

Garyn could end up as Desmond from Fallout 3 for similar reasons. But he's probably sitting this one out.

I don't have the real familiarity with Frances McDormand's other roles to have Marge play along, either.

If this comes late enough into February, though, I could have Thenardier come to believe he's Napoleon. (Because Christian Clavier).

[misslucyjane]

I'm just planning on one. Steve will be Lincoln Lee from Scott Pilgrim versus the World.

*cackles madly*

Though it's occurred to me that Bilbo thinking he's John Watson or Jack Benjamin thinking he's the Mad Hatter might be just evil enough to be fun.

[chanter1944]

I suddenly have the urge to get Sariel in on this again. I need to rewatch some of the canons her actress has been in, though. Hmm.

[craftylildoodlepumpkin]

*is still technically on hiatus but!*

Clementine is going to be Beverly Goldberg because she's the most distinctly different among all of Wendi's roles and well, 80's workout clothes and momlike hilarity!!

I've been loosely considering having Juliet be Maggie's character from the Masters of Horror series. Jules as a murderous bride? IDK.

I'm bouncing back and forth on who Ep should be; I might indeed have her be Velma because I have a fondness for Chicago.

I can't quite nail down who I want Pinkie to be - she might remain unaffected because I haven't watched the other stuff Andrea Libman's voiced.

Dixie will probably be unaffected, though I need to convince Becky to have Brisco be a bald terrorist. Or something ;)

[ceitfianna]

Jane's going to be patient zero and think she's Selina Kyle.

Moist will probably think he's someone as I'm reading an ARC of Raising Steam and Jude Law's been in so much. I just need to pick which character.

I'm not going to do Charles as it would freak him out a lot, but considering maybe doing Will or William. Having William think he's D'Artagnan could be fun.

I'd love any suggestions as Jane's the only one I'm certain of.

[bjornwilde]

Somehow, this just made me realize I could have Hank thinking he's a giant killer.

[runningred]

Any thoughts for Jay and Daoud?

[1nv1nc1ble]

The Red Hood is voiced by Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) in "Batman: Under the Red Hood." Just a thought.
