(Speaking of really young twinks with gravity defying hair, see bottom centre.)
I have to confess that I've thought a lot about who would make a good Reno in real life, and I have to agree that it's not really possible, because OG and ACC Renos are so different. No-one male is ACC bishie in real life. But these are some of the contenders:
1. River Phoenix - physically about as close as possible in the real world I think.
2. Tom Hiddleston. Agree with Licorice on this one - he has one of those mobile faces that can convey so much feeling - he may not
look all that like Reno, although I think there are similarities, but he could act Reno. Reno's changeable qualities. Couldn't call him ugly myself, but I've always gone for what my dad called 'the gothic waif' look!
3. David Bowie in his youth. Reno's slight weirdness!
4. Callum Keith Rennie a while ago. Fairly physically similar, and all the attitude. The edge perhaps Hiddleston doesn't have.
5. A Japanese twink with gravity defying hair. He
is male - honest. For all those times when Reno's as pretty as a girl (or dresses as one. *Guilty look*)
6. A fox.
If you mixed them all together - would that work?
