Lois McMaster Bujold:
What actors would you fantasy-cast as your characters if someone were to make movies of your books? Ignoring current ages: Peter Dinklage seems obvious as Miles (I'd love to see him doing the manic parts). Robert Pattinson (pre-vampire!!) as Ivan. Cordelia: for some reason, Meryl Streep comes to mind.

A few of my characters had some mild physical inspiration from actors over the years, although once they hit the page they quickly mutated into their unique selves. I haven't really been watching enough live-action media lately to keep up on the more recent menu of possibilities. I think my characters would want new actors and actresses to bring them to life on-screen.
That said, back in the day Aral had some somatic inspiration from Oliver Reed, Cordelia from Vanessa Redgrave, Galeni from Paul Darrow. I once saw a fellow in the early 80s who starred in a BBC-TV production of Richard III that I thought could almost do Miles, but his name escapes me... ah, thank you Internet, it was Ron Cook.

Did Penric ever visit his birth family after his studies and taking up work for the Bastard's Order? Or did any of them manage to visit him? Or did they exchange letters? We know that he learned of the death of his mother, but not much more. Love the novella's and waiting in hope for the next, one of these days.
