**Left Hand of Dorkness** is [Greg Proops](http://www.corporateartists.com/images/gregproops.jpg). I have no idea why.

**FinnAgain** is [Colin Greenwood](http://usuario.tiscali.es/mlluch/colin.jpg).

**roger thornhill** is definitely [Michael Caine](http://www.movieforum.com/people/actors/michaelcaine/images/getcarter.jpg).

**Sampiro** is [Sean Astin](http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/sean-astin/sean-astin02.jpg).

And before anyone says anything, I most decidedly do not look like [this](http://www.injenn.net/~tania/roland2.jpg) (though my dad does bear an eerie resemblance…)

Aw, I always thought Roland was cute. And you take back that dirty lie about my Cozzie Greenwood! You take it back right now! 😉

Heck, here’s an entire photoshoot of [Kythereia](http://www.phil.uni-erlangen.de/~p1altar/photo_html/plastik/weiblich/stehend/bekleidet/aphrodite/kallipygos.html) .

Ok, here’s what I got.

\*\*Sampiro \*\*is, and has always been, Rhett Butler.

\*\*Kythereia \*\*is Venus rising.

I’ve always had a very specific image of **Tentacle Monster**. When I finally saw his picture, while he had no tentacles, he looked like someone who \*could \*sprout tentacles at any time.

**Regellag the Axe** looks like a young Conan.

I’ve barely interacted with\*\* David Simmons\*\* but he looks like Baron Munchausen.

**Mr Bus Guy** - when I saw his picture I was flabbergasted. I had an image of him as an Italian mob guy. Dapper suit, cigar, the works. Don’t ask why. Instead, he looks like a perfectly ordinary joe.

\*\*Inigo \*\*- I don’t have that clear of an image, not Mandy Patinkin, but he always has a mustache in my mind.

\*\*FairyChatMom \*\*looks like June Cleaver - but as she plays in Airplane. “Cut me som’ slac’ jak! Chump don wan no help, chump don git no help. Jive ass dude don got no brains anyhow.”

\*\*Swampy \*\*is the Cheshire Cat because I always imagine him smiling.

More to come as I think of them!

And **ArrMatey**! - thanks! I’m not sure what to make of **Shib** ’s supposition. :eek: Perhaps if he states \*which \*porn star, please.

:o 😉

Ana I always pictured as [Parminder Nagra](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/77/Parminder_nagra44.jpg/180px-Parminder_nagra44.jpg), and mrklutz is stuck in my mind as [this guy](http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/images/avedavies/2005/04/02/adam-brody-sized.jpg) .

I’m sure he must have had problems with his followers trying to use his gown as a crossword puzzle.
