      I’ve heard a lot of people talk about “casting” their stories with actors to make the characters more real to themselves. If you can’t think of an actor off the top of your head who fits a particular character, how do you find one?

        Since I don’t go to movies or own a TV, I have the same problem.

        I like to browse book covers and random photos (try Google images) for ideas. It doesn’t matter what the person’s name is, or how famous they are (or aren’t). Once I find the right look, I’m set. :)

        Happy writing,

          I’m a huge TV and Movie fan and I love casting novels.

          Internet Movie Database is huge place to look up actors. You can even click on someone’s birth year to scroll through everyone of the same age if you’re looking to match ages.

          http://www.imdb.com/

          Pinterest is a good start too. You can search actors or actresses and narrow the search from there. You’ll have a lot of pictures to scroll through though!

          A google search will also bring up some images if you want a range of models etc.

          If you want to brave tumbler you can search there too.
