I wasn't sure where this should go, but maybe a good idea to start a list of actors used to represent various characters from the LABN/NYBN Universe. If anyone has a suggestion on the best place, and then we can all go in an update (alphabetically) by Actor name all the characters we can remember.

I would just create a page
I would just create a page for it. Everyone can edit pages (wiki-like) without having to have someone responsible for it.
I was thinking about this, on
I was thinking about this, on LABN we had a HUGE list of actors/actresses. Now I'm not suggesting we wipe the slate clean or anything, especially as some of the charries from LABN may make an appearance in NYBN. But maybe it's in need of a cull? Say, remove any NPC's or even PC's that never really took off or had a very minor role? Afterall, even in TV shows an actor can appear in a minor role then later return as a completely different character.
The list was pretty
The list was pretty up-to-date and (mostly) only featured NPCs who had profiles. That meant that somebody went to the trouble of doing a write-up of the NPC and choosing an actor. Even if they didn't get used.
The old list is still here and I recently checked it to make sure it was linked properly and formatted nicely.
My suggestion is that if you can find an NPC profile for a character then the actor can't be re-used. For instance, Rafael Dixon is played by the same actor who also played the President of the United States in an LABN post.
But he wasn't in that list, I
But he wasn't in that list, I checked. I didn't remember him as President... actually I don't remember any post with the President of the US... probably before my time?
Do you want me to change him? Could do that... although it wasn't easy to find an actor that fitted my idea of the char :P I'd prefer not to.
No, Don't change him. The
No, Don't change him. The point is he didn't have an NPC page so it is irrelevant.
Even if a picture is provided in a post (which in this instance it wasn't) unless there is an NPC page then I'd just accept that the actor is available.
Heather and I speculated that if David Palmer was the President in 2005 and he had a son (let's say a 21 year old son in the military) he'd be 37 now. Certainly old enough to be a Lt. Col.
Maybe he has his mother's last name...
Ahhh, I checked the post,
Ahhh, I checked the post, David Palmer was mentioned as president of the US. No wonder i didn't remember him, i thought the president had actually 'appeared' in a post :D
According to the profile, Dixon is 47. A little too old for him being the president's son. Maybe a little old to be a Lt. Colonel too? Maybe a Colonel is more appropriate to his age-range? He had to be born around in the mid seventies or he wouldn't be the right age to form part of the Initiative... which closed doors around 1999, right?
Jajaja, i hate it when i start doubting like that :P
I think the suggestion there
I think the suggestion there is that he would be an example of one able to be re-used. I think he showed up in like, 2 or 3 posts total as a picture on someone's wall in a government office.
