When someone involved in a fictional project makes a list of actors who would best represent a cast of fictional characters. The purpose of a hypothetical cast may be to give the reader of a fictional work a better picture of how a character looks and acts. This is common practice for online virtual series and sometimes used by authors of commercially published works. Many times, when a creator is pitching a work to a production company (such as a new series to a TV network), the creator will use existing photos from previous works to help others visualize the characters - for example, Jeff Eastin used a photo of Leonardo DiCaprio circa Catch Me If You Can, to help visualize the gentleman rogue con man of White Collar's Neal Caffrey. It can also be done in interviews or other extratextual materials, such as screenplays or via Line to God. Compare Comic-Book Fantasy Casting, where the appearance of a character in a visual medium is overtly derived from a real celebrity without being an explicit parody of that celebrity; No Celebrities Were Harmed, where a character is a blatant parody or fictionalized version of a real person; Ascended Fancast, where a fancast actually gets the role; and Textual Celebrity Resemblance, where a character's resemblance to a celebrity is mentioned within the work. See also Creator-Chosen Casting, when the creator actually does get to choose who plays the characters. |

The script of Predators described Cuchillo as "a guy who looks like Danny Trejo." When Danny Trejo heard this, he called Robert Rodriguez and said "Hey, I heard there's a guy in the script for Predators who looks just like Danny Trejo, and guess what, I look just like Danny Trejo!" | |

The Simpsons An in-universe example: In "I am Furious (Yellow)", in response to a remark about who should play Homer in a live-action "Angry Dad" movie, Bart suggests John Goodman, but Homer strangles him and exclaims, "Isn't it obvious?! It should be Gary Oldman!" The writers have joked that if the show ever gets a Live-Action Adaptation, William H. Macy will play Ned Flanders. Phil Hartman wanted to play Troy McClure in a Live-Action Adaptation "biopic" of McClure's life; plans didn't get very far before his tragic murder in 1998. There have been several actors mooted for members of the Simpson family in hypothetical Live-Action Adaptations over the years. A popular candidate for Bart in the early '90s was Benjamin Salisbury from The Nanny. |

Back to the Future: When Michael J. Fox was initially unavailable to star as Marty McFly, C. Thomas Howell was strongly considered, but Universal Studios preferred Eric Stoltz, so Stoltz got cast. After several weeks in production, Stoltz was fired due to Creative Differences and Fox was finally available, so Fox took over as Marty and Stoltz became the Trope Namer for The Other Marty. | |

James Bond: Ian Fleming's personal choice was David Niven, while Albert R. Broccoli wanted Cary Grant. Niven did end up playing Bond... but not in a serious film. When it came to casting Dr. No (who is Chinese-German), Fleming suggested his friend and neighbour Noël Coward, who responded, "Doctor No? No, No, No". In The '90s, Roger Moore jokingly suggested Cuba Gooding Jr. for the part, while Sean Connery recommended Mel Gibson. |

Character Tod Spengo from Mom and Dad Save the World was so heavily based on Jon Lovitz' stage persona that they would have simply named the character "Jon Lovitz" if they thought they could get him. They actually did, and Lovitz loved the Tod-centric set pieces so much that he said he wanted to take them home and put them around his pool. | |

In The Regulators, after Johnny Marinville and his black neighbor, Brad Josephson have a hard time climbing a fence to escape from monsters, Johnny jokingly suggests that they should make a movie called Black Men Can't Climb Fences, where Laurence Fishburne would play Brad. | |

When the Ropers were spun-off into their own series, the writers of Three's Company were left to try and find another actor to play the show's landlord. They kept commenting that they wanted someone similar to Don Knotts before realizing they could just ask Don Knotts himself to do it. | |

In the original casting calls of Gargoyles, the last paragraph of Hudson's biography is a single sentence: "Hudson hates spunk", implying they were seeking an Ed Asner type. Asner came in to audition and thought he botched it, especially as he wasn't expecting to have to do a Scottish accent, but got the part. | |

Albedo: Erma Felna EDF: Steve Gallacci has given some suggestions for a hypothetical voice cast for the comic: For the titular heroine, Gallacci's suggested voice actresses were Claudia Christian, Rula Lenska, or any actress speaking with an European accent. This also extended to foreign dubs as well, as both Gallacci and some fans suggested Yu Shimamura for voicing Erma in a possible Japanese dub or Anime adaptation. Patrick Stewart as the voice of Itzak Arrat.note Keep in mind he suggested this at the end of the 80s, when Stewart was younger and when he was still playing Capt. Picard in the peak of the show's popularity. |

Doctor Who: In 1986, Sydney Newman suggested brining back Patrick Troughton, then have him regenerate into a woman, with his top choices being Dawn French, Joanna Lumley and Frances de la Tour. In the early 1990s, The BBC approached Verity Lambert to revive the show. She wanted Peter Cook to play the new Doctor, but he eventually declined involvement. Russell T. Davies has mentioned envisioning certain actors in his head while creating various characters. He said that while creating Adelaide Brooke for "The Waters of Mars", he created her with Helen Mirren in mind (the role eventually went to Lindsay Duncan, who does bear a slight similarity to Mirren.) Similarly, for River Song, they considered Kate Winslet for the part (which went to Alex Kingston.) A sketch for the Ninth Doctor's look describes him as "Terence Stamp if he ran a market stall". Romana I was pitched as a Grace Kelly-type Ice Queen. Tom Baker suggested Dawn French and Eddie Izzard as his choices to play the Doctor. |

Towards the end of At War's End, that guy from that show started working on a cast list for a hypothetical film adaptation and asked his fellow players for actor suggestions. Note that this cast list is largely based on the actors' credentials rather than their appearances, so the casting picks are not intended to give readers a better mental image of characters' appearances. | |

The writers of Roman Holiday wanted Cary Grant and Shirley Temple in the lead roles, based solely on their performances in The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. | |

Saiyuki - Previous to its animated adaptation Artist Kazuya Minekura (jokingly) suggested that resident Stepford Smiler Cho Hakkai be voiced by Akira Ishida, and so when time came to actually cast him, the animators decided that Ishida was indeed the best candidate for the job. | |

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: While Sean Connery was always Steven Spielberg's top pick to play Indy's father, Henry Sr., he also considered casting Gregory Peck or Jon Pertwee in case Connery was unavailable. | |

When the producers of Star Trek: Voyager decided to write an expy of the Star Trek: The Next Generation character Nick Locarno in Tom Paris, they sought someone like Locarno's portrayer Robert Duncan McNeill, eventually settling on McNeill himself. | |

When casting for Sam Axe on Burn Notice the producers floated around Bruce Campbell as the type they were looking for, and were surprised when they got him. | |

In casting the role of Grandad in Only Fools and Horses, John Sullivan had in mind an actor similar to Wilfrid Brambell, but chose not to use Brambell himself, thinking him too closely associated with Steptoe and Son. | |
