Unsung Heroes

Name: Taylor Schilling (as Nurse Veronica Callahan in Mercy)
Occupation: Actress
Age: 27
Height: 5'8"

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

Notes: Mercy was one of those shows networks tried to fill the ER gap with. I really enjoyed it, but it was just different enough from ER and Grey's that it didn't catch on. That, and NBC kind of sucks at maintaining new shows. Taylor Schilling is awesome as Veronica, and I think it's a shame that no one else seems to have iconned her yet, as the other major ladies of the show have been. So I'm fixing that problem. These are from caps by twixted at LJ.

( Well, we do try to stop the doctors from killing you. )

City of the Straits just opened for application this week. It's an original game based around the idea of magic's awakening. In this setting, two factions--mages and witchfinders--are at war with one another against the backdrop of modern urban Detroit.

So you might see a few icon sets inspired by the game's PBs over the coming weeks (like this one). If the idea intrigues you, feel free to check it out!

That said...

Name: Nicole Beharie
Occupation: Actress
Age: 25
Notes: She was awesome in American Violet, which is where these caps are from.



( I understand the seriousness of this whole situation. I understand the seriousness of people being incarcerated. I understand the seriousness of people's lives being changed forever and affected. I understand the seriousness of not being able to sleep good at night 'cause you worried about somebody coming to your house and harming you or your family members. I understand a lot. And I know my life will never be the same. )

Occupation: Actor

Height: 6'

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

( 'I love you Sorsha?' I don't love her, she kicked me in the face! I hate her... don't I? )

Name: Tran Nu Yen-Khe
Occupation: Actress
Age: About 32 in these icons
Height: ?

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

Notes: I cannot remember ever finding any icons of Vietnamese actors or actresses, and so I made these. The quality varies, because I screen capped the film these are from, Vertical Ray of the Sun, from a YouTube copy.

( Icons under the cut. )

Name: John Hensley (as Gabriel Bowman in Witchblade)
Occupation: Actor
Age: 32, but 24/25 in these icons.
Height: 5'10"

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

Name: Bryce Dallas Howard (as Rosalind in As You Like It)
Occupation: Actress
Age: 28 tomorrow, about 25 in these icons.
Height: 5'8"

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

Notes: These are especially good for an RP set in the late 1800s/early 1900s.

( Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them, but not for love. )

Name: Bryce Dallas Howard (as Rosalind in As You Like It)
Occupation: Actress
Age: 28 tomorrow, about 25 in these icons.
Height: 5'8"

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

Notes: Look, another redhead. And more crossdressing. Branagh's As You Like It is visually stunning, even if it does cut some pretty darn important bits. Interestingly, she also played Rosalind in a stage production.

( I'd rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad. )

Name: Joanne Whalley (as Sorsha in Willow)
Occupation: Actress
Age: (in icons) 24
Height: 5'4"

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

Notes: One can never have too many redheads-who-are-not-models. And these would be great for a medieval game, which would be even harder to find a redhead for. Also, I seriously adore the movie Willow.

( Went away? 'I dwell in darkness without you' and it went away? )

SAMPLES:

1. 2. 3.

( Again, no witty cut-tag. )

Name: Rolf Kristian Larsen
Occupation: Actor
Age: 20s?
Notes: I debated on uploading these but there seems to be a sad, sad shortage of redheaded actors to PB. Excuse the missing icons - there seems to be some weirdness with my Photobucket.

SAMPLES:

Name: Naomie Harris
Occupation: Actress
Age: 32 (but could be used for 20s as well, with these icons)
Height: 5'8"
Notes: Many of these are from rips of a TV miniseries called "White Teeth." As you might expect, they're TV quality. That said, I like her look in it too much not to post these.

Name: Lisa Hannigan
Occupation: Musician (best known for contributing vocals to Damien Rice's work)
Age: 28
Notes: The quality on these isn't the greatest- as with many musician icons, I was limited to what I could get scouring the web.

Name: Catherine Anne Davies
Occupation: Musician
Age: 20s, I believe
Notes: An alternate Ginny for some of the Dicker users, I thought. There aren't many icons, however, as she's difficult to get pictures of. The quality on some is negotiable - as ever, people are welcome to alter these as desired.
