How was everyone’s weekends? We watched Thor and now I’m seriously reconsidering my choice for Alek (..sorry Henry..) cause OMG Chris Hemsworth is gorgeous! And I’m sure he could pull of black hair *grin* and for those interested Thor is a very entertaining, visually stunning (and not just him ;p) movie. Great for a non-thinking required flick you can just enjoy.
So what do you think? I reckon he could do black hair easily enough ;p
Okay for Lieutenant Ignatius I’m choosing Gerard Butler (*drool*) a fav actor that I’d happily pick for Alek too but he may be a little over playing a 25 yr old, even if Alek looks a bit older than his years. Now if you’ve read The Arrival you’ll know the Lieutenant Ignatius is really only a secondary character in the book but he comes into his own in book two and three. An arrogant man, he’s supremely proud of his heritage and his distant claim to the throne (scant and VERY distant – but there nevertheless). He tends to butt heads with Alek cause.. ooh I can’t say – cursed spoilers!.. cause they have differing opinions ;p
Now Lieutenant Ignatius (known as Iggy behind his back *hee*) is one of the three Lieutenants of the General Guard. Making Iggy an important sub-character in the BirthRight Trilogy. He likes to believe women should be seen and not heard so needless to say the girls just love him when they get introduced… And the feeling is very much mutual. He is a very honourable man, technically, and would do anything for his realm yadayada but his arrogance and utter disdain for the girls means he’s in their ‘not so fond’ books and they take great delight in annoying the hell outta him. Especially because he’s not at all subtle about his dislike, kinda like poking a caged badger..
He features a lot more prominently in book two and I’m having fun working on his scenes currently. Obviously I chose Gerard as Iggy is very handsome – but of course he knows he is. And for the character development in the later books I know Gerard could play it perfectly *grin*
Take care all!

OMG I saw Thor too and started drooling at him. lol
Got your book this weekend and reading all these character profiles makes me excited to read it and meet them.
*lol* Well let me know if you think the actors fit the characters! I'd love to hear your thoughts 🙂
yes yes yes, to Both!
Alek looks more like Mr Hemsworth in my mind!
And Gerard (drool) sorry i forgot what i was going to say ;p
Thor was awesome… because of the plot of course, NOT the man meat… hehehe
Hi Nicole – I'm visiting from Book Blogs – and signed up to follow your blog. Nice blog you have here. I like that you're putting an actor's face to the characters in your book. I'm going to have to find some for my books. Love it!
