a lot of these, especially in the next part, aren’t actors, so this is less a fancast and more of a “i have a horrible imagination and need to visualize characters so they feel more real to me” list
if they don’t look like what you picture, agree to disagree! i love seeing other ppl’s perspectives of what the characters look like and i hope you do too
without further ado,
neil josten - benjamin wadsworth
okay listen just because i picked the most used neil fancast DOES NOT MEAN THE REST OF THIS LIST IS BORING!!! he’s just so neil-coded to me in deadly class! i even put him into a photo editing app to change his hair and eye color and he still fits!!! plus the top right pic is exactly how i imagine a nathaniel smile.
andrew/aaron minyard - vlad konoplev
i’m gonna give credit to @kalu_aftg on tiktok for this, because i saw this actor in their tik tok. he’s in a russian series called my biggest secret (i watched a couple clips but i haven’t seen the show)
but come on!!!! this is andrew minyard!!!! and always with andrew fancasts it’s difficult to see them as aaron but i feel like this could go both ways, especially in the bottom right pic. identical, but different vibes, yk?
dan wilds - kiersey clemons
i first saw kiersey clemons in new girl as kc and she feels so dan! then i saw the pic on the top left and i was like YES! this. is. dan. she seems very sweet and friendly but i know she could give a great game face.
nicky hemmick - conor husting
even his pics give off major nicky vibes. he also has a very similar hair length to what i picture nicky with. fun fact: he’s also half-mexican on his mother’s side which is strangely accurate lol!!
allison reynolds - jessica lord
i’m gonna be honest i just searched up “blond actresses 20’s” and that top left photo popped up and it was just so so so allison!! i included a couple pics of her in the ballet movie “find me in paris” because i couldn’t find a lot of pics of any of these actors in active wear and this felt close enough.
kevin day - nicholas galitzine
honestly i got this idea from an instagram live he did where he was yelling about being 6 foot and my brain was like “that is kevin day IN THE FLESH”. i originally saw him in bottoms and he totally cracked me up.
matt boyd - daniel ezra
like come on!!! his smile is so bright and inviting, it gives off such strong matt energy. he played spencer james in all-american and i haven’t watched it but ive seen ppl say good things. bonus: he’s the only one i could find with any form of a face guard (even tho nick galitzine also played a football player in bottoms lol)
renee walker - sydney park & lana condor
okay SO my criteria was soft-looking people that can look sharp in other pictures, and i came up with these two! it’s kinda hard to picture renee without the pastel/white hair but let’s suspend disbelief.
seth gordon - young david beckham
speaking of suspending disbelief, LMAOO. just hear me out, okay. seth was a fifth year, slightly older than the rest of them, so i was looking for that + blond buzz cut and this is the result!
and that’s all! i have more so i’ll probably make a part two, but im having trouble finding a nathan because it’s so hard NOT to picture nathan as a redhead but that means he probably won’t look like benjamin wadsworth.

Sometimes I would like to understand why the Pattie Boyd fandom is sometimes intense, I recently saw that a fan of hers was making very grotesque comments to Maureen Cox and the person went to the trouble of making a tik tok account to throw hate especially just Maureen :((
And the person's excuse for throwing massive hate at Maureen is what Pattie Boyd wrote in her book about George and Mo's situation.
Less than a week before we finally have the new season, and IMDB has released credits for two more episodes. And since I did analysis on the first six, I'll do it for these two as well, though I make no promises for the later ones. Doing it by episode this time.
The Fey Realm: Matt as Craven Edge and Umbrasyl, Billy Boyd as Garmelie, Cheech Marin as Trinket, Kelly Hu as Anna Ripley, Lance Reddick as Thordak. Matt is not credited for Craven Edge in "The Echo Tree," so it seems likely that story's going to come to a head in this episode. It's also a safe bet that Cheech is voicing the hallucinatory Trinket from Keyleth's mushroom samba, which presumably is Feywild induced. But looking at the other credits in this episode, I suspect the bear's not the only one to be hallucinated. Anna Ripley might of course just still be doing whatever she was doing in the previous episode, but I could absolutely see Percy hallucinating her. We may get either the real or imaginary versions of the two dragons. Only extra character we can be certain will be in for real is Garmelie, whom Billy Boyd is wonderfully perfect for.
The Echo Tree: Matt as Artagan and a Syngorn Guard, Billy Boyd as Garmelie, Troy Baker, Toks Olagundoye, and Jayla Lavender Nicholas as Syldor, Davana, and Velora, and Shendhil Ramamurthy as Saundor. Obviously this episode covers the visit to Syngorn as well as the confrontation with Saundor. Which makes sense, since all that's pretty much Vex's story, and this allows for it to build on itself perfectly. With presumably a entertaining interlude of Vox Machina traumatizing another hapless guard Matt. Also, I thorough approve of this arrangement of letting Billy Boyd voice Garmelie but giving Matt the overall character of Artagan.
I was scrolling on Tik Tok and I came across this small video. In short, the Tik Tok suggests that Mads Mikkelsen should be the one playing a live action version of Nanami from JJK. I really adore Mads and I can see why people would like him to play Nanami (partly, because the character is a 1/4 Danish), but I decided to throw in my 50 cents opinion and suggest Boyd for the role, namely because of his role as The Corinthian.
The Corinthian ressembles Nanami so much and I could see Boyd pulling him off look wise and it would be nice to see how he would play Nanami (which canonically is the biggest green flag of anime men).
So I went on with my merry life and....less than 24 hours later my inbox was spammed with likes and comments on this, mostly positive ones suggesting the same thing.
So by this time, all i have to say is...Boyd Holbrook can hire me as his PR Agent or Agent in general. Therefore, I will be waiting for the call 🤣
This is what I created inspired by Joe Boyd’s Tik Tok video. I used the letters in “confident” and made sure to draw them across multiple sticky notes so that they would be mixed up more when I rearranged them.
Instead of Maureen stans hating on Pattie and Pattie stans hating on Maureen they should just join together and hate on ringo and George for being trash husbands
