[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 8430287, member: 6799660"] I mean, what era are we talking? Mid-late 20s Arneson and mid-30s Gygax when D&D was being hammered out? Put beards on Timothee Chalamet as Arneson and John Krasinski or Daniel Radcliffe as Gygax and the visuals would probably work. They all do good work when they have something good with which to work and aren't too visually iconic that people would look past the characterization and see the famous actor behind it. In later life they both ended up as chubby bearded men which is something that Hollywood makeup can work with pretty well (although a Christian Bale/Jared Leto gain-weight-for-role scenario would also work). That said, Zach Galifianakis could look close to like either (with some grey hair added or subtracted, depending on time setting) and do the actual characterization of either of them very well. I know there's probably someone else like that who could take the other role. Exactly. A Tom Hanks/Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise/Jim Carey trying to makeup their way into the character would probably just not work. [HEADING=1][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
