I bring this up now because I know sometimes, authors create characters based on someone they know or an actor/actress in a movie or television show. I'm sort of on the opposite side of the spectrum in that I'll create a character, develop their looks and see a movie or show sometimes later and it hits me over the head - "Hey! That's [insert appropriate character's name
here]."
I've had it happen twice so far. One of those instances is Alexander Skarsgård, the actor who plays Eric Northman on True Blood. Now see, I never watched True Blood until last summer when I picked up Season 1 because a friend of mine said it was something right up my alley. But when I did...why hello there Stark. For those that may not know, Stark is the hero in my first book, Flash of Dark.
So, I said twice, right? Who's the other? You'll have to wait until next week. ;^)

That happened to me when I went to go see the latest Star Trek movie. When my brother and I saw the Romulans, with there bald heads, pointed ears and tats, we both looked at each other said, "Those are my Nosferatu." LOL They even have the right attitude.
I love True Blood and Eric is my favorite. I had never seen it before and one day I watched one show from season 1 and couldn't stop. I spent the whole day watching season 1. Then I had to wait for season 2 to come on HBO. Now season 3 is almost done. LOL.
