Cast tropers in works

Yeah, zam would fit for that. Like, perfectly.

...Why am I Taft again?

Because you keep complaining about it.

Now, how am I Franklin Pierce?

Because it's come up in Wild Mass Guessing and this is the only thread in which it really fits - if there really were to be a TV Tropes version of The Expendables, which tropers would be cast?

I nominate Nathaniel The Seeker, Tobias Drake, Catfish42, Scrye, and juancarlos11.

and Counterclock would be the character played by Charisma Carpenter

Cool, I've been cast!

In a movie I've never seen... should watch it, maybe...

It's more that the movie is MEMETICALLY MANLY and thus would be populated by tropers who are each uniquely badass. (Actually, a troper version of Manly Guys Doing Manly Things might work even better...)

Which reminds me that I somehow forgot Sean Murray I. O_O

So, does that mean I... I have a Badass reputation?

Cool. I can start a new year on that.

Juancarlos should cast us in Firefly, I think, I trust his knowledge of it to put my faith in him!

Due to popular request (read: one person) I give you the Firefly casting:

• Mal: Zam (as the lincoln troper, I don't think anyone could be a better leader)

• Zoe: Firestarter

• Jayne: Sean Murray I

• Wash: Tre, I already said my reasons below

• Kaylee: Compassionate Sadist (she's just too damn cheerful)

• Inara: Counterclock

• Shepherd Book: Nathaniel The Seeker...I cannot think of anybody who can preach wisdom as well as him.

• Simon: Fuzy 2 K (he just seems like the epitome of Adorkable, although W can also get there, and he can also lay down the snark that the doctor needs)
• River: I'm thinking MV due to her great ability to creep me out all the time

• Yo Saff Bridge: Vorpy (You know I'm right in that one)

• Joss Whedon: me, Juancarlos. The reason that I enjoyed the show is that every character had something that I could identify with. Between Mal's cynicism, Zoe's constructive criticism of Mal, Jayne capability of saying the worst possible thing he could think of, Wash's snarking at everything, Kaylee's cheerfulness and ability to maintain it even in the worst moments, Simon's need to protect his sister (I have a sister and I'm equally protective of her), and Book's spirituality all made an impact on me. And that's why I love this show to death and I would love writing for it.

Can I be Wash?

Can I be Mal?

Oh and no one thought I could be Lincoln?

Makes sense...Nerdy guy who doesn't fight, but is the most badass pilot ever. And lay down the snark.

I actually mentioned you...Mal.

Simon

Who can I be?

^ The operative. Your name's already MIB-ish.

OK, I'll cast tropers in my own short film, Interview With A Human:

Xeric (The Kirk): Zudak

Xob(Ax-Crazy surgeon, e.g. The McCoy): Fusch.

Bill (Spock-ish Almighty Janitor Deadpan Snarker): juancarlos11

Angry farmer (basically an expy of Eustace): Land Of Gold

Take your pick.

Call me when a latin president comes around.

I can see most of those.

I'm guessing I'm Hoover because of the long lifespan thing?

He was a rather stony guy.

Well it just fits on all sorts of levels then doesn't it?

Random: cast Tropers as any characters from Persona 4. Player Characters, Social Links or just plain NPC.

Can we do Little Shop of Horrors? (Or, considering the general tone of TV Tropes, Rocky Horror Picture Show)?

^^^ Let no one say i didn't put thought into these.
