From Book to Actor - Hope Adams

Hope Adams
Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: ?? ?? 1979
hair colour: dark brown
eye colour: amber
height: 5'
build: small and thin

I don't know very many Bollywood actresses, but upon seeing this picture of Kajol Devgan, this is exactly what I picture Hope would look like if she had makeup and jewelry on. Who would you pick?



Quote from book:
“Dressed in sneakers, a T-shirt and blue jeans, Hope Adams looked like a Bollywood princess
trying to pass through LA incognito. Fine-boned and tiny, with delicate features and golden
brown eyes, she had the kind of face that would be as lovely at eighty as it was at twenty. Yet
she wore that beauty awkwardly, like a farm girl handed a Vera Wang gown, not quite sure how
to put it on or whether she even wanted to. Her long black curls had been yanked back in an
careless ponytail. Ink smeared one cheek like war paint.”
- Jaime from No Humans Involved

From Book to Actor - Jeremy Danvers

Jeremy Malcolm Edwards Danvers
Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: May 29, 1947
hair colour: black
eye colour: black
height: 6' 2"
build: lean
nationality: half Asian / half Caucasian

Jeremy Danvers I always picture as someone quiet looking and serious. In certain descriptions also a well dressed man.  Daniel Henney embodies all of it!!   Anyone better you can think of?



Quote from book:
“Although Jeremy could never be considered the best fighter in the pack, he possessed a
strength that was even more important for the survival and success of the modern
pack. Jeremy had absolute self-control. Being able to muster his own instincts and urges meant
he could see the problems the pack was facing and deal with them rationally, making decisions
untainted by impulse.”
- Elena from Bitten

From Book to Actor - Adam Vasic

Adam Vasic
Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: ?? ?? 1977
hair colour: light brown
eyes: brown
height: 6"
build: athletic

Jackson Rathbone is my ideal Adam, he just needs a pair of brown contacts.  What do you think? 



Quote from book:
“We’d been inside for less than five minutes before every girl there had checked out the new
arrival. Adam isn’t drop-dead gorgeous. He’s cute, though. Seriously cute. Short, wavy dark
blond hair, a perpetual tan, and an athletic build. He looks like is a guy that a girl could talk to,
someone who’d flirt and make you laugh and look you in the eye while he’s doing it. In other
words, he looks like exactly the kind of guy he is, and girls love it.”
- Savannah, from Waking the Witch

From Book to Actor - Jaime Vegas

Jaime Vegas
Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: February 14, 1963
hair colour: red
eye colour: green
height: 5' 7"
build: thin and curvy

Can you just picture Elena Satine as Jaime Vegas? She seems like someone who could be in the spotlight but still commanding the sultry redhead tag.



Quote from book:
"Long legs, bee-stung lips, and green eyes made Jaime Vegas the kind of woman the phrase
"sultry redhead" was invented."
- Eve from Haunted

From Book to Actor - Lucas Cortez

Lucas Diego Cortez
Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: March 1st, 1976
hair colour: dark
eye colour: dark
height: 6"
build: thin

I immediately thought of Michael Pena for Lucas's role.  Know of any other actors who could make a better Lucas?



Quote from book:
"He was about six feet tall, thin, with a face so average I doubted anyone remembered him five
minutes after meeting him. Short dark hair, clean-shaven. Hispanic. Presumably dark eyes
behind his wire-frame glasses…”
- Paige from Dime Store Magic

From Book to Actor - Cassandra DuCharme


Cassandra DuCharme
Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: ?? ?? ????
hair colour: Copper red
eye colour: green
height: ??
build:  ??


Tilda Swinton is by far the perfect candidate to play Cassandra Ducharme, she fits the description to a T! and remembering her in certain roles, she could perfectly emulate Cassandra's composure. Just look at the picture.. She's commanding crazy attention.
Can you find anyone better??



Quote from book:
“ Aaron whirled so fast that he almost toppled over. There, less than a foot away, stood a
woman. A woman who gave off no “sense” of life; who had slipped up on him as quiet as a
phantom. Her dark green woolen cloak blended into the shadows, only accentuating her copper
red hair and pale skin. Under the cloak, Aaron caught a glimpse of a dress—a fine dress, as
finely made as the cloak, spun from the kind of cloud-soft wool he’d only ever seen in shops.
She wasn’t beautiful, and she had to be almost as old as his mother, but there was something
about her that dared him to look away. Maybe the piercing stare of her green eyes or the almost
arrogant tilt to her sharp chin or the slightly bemused smile on his lips—or maybe it was all of
those things, sending out different messages and challenging his brain to figure out what the
combination meant.”
- Aaron, from “Rebirth”




From Book to Actor - Savannah Levine



Savannah Constance Levine

Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: ?? ?? 1987
hair colour: Black
eye colour:  blue
height: 6"
build: slender


I could definitely see Megan Fox play her character. I must admit, I am not a huge fan of Megan, but she fits the description extremely well, and I also feel her personality would fit her well.
 Any thoughts?


Quote from book:
“Tall and slender, she wore a midriff-baring black T-shirt, red slim fitting jeans and knee high
boots. Her dark hair was gathered back in a hastily tied knot. Oversized dark shades partially
obscured her face but showed a strong, fine bone structure, worthy of a runway model.
The young woman walked to the glass and put her face against it, like a kid peering through a
store window. With a jolt, Sean realized who she was.”
- Sean, from The Case of El Chupacabra




From Book to Actor - Paige Winterbourne




Paige Katherine Winterbourne

Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: unknown, in her early twenties
hair colour: brown
eye colour:  green
height: approx 5' 4"
build: curvy

America Ferrara has the exact look of how I pictured Paige, minus the green eyes. But nothing a pair of contacts couldn't fix.


Quote from book:
“At four o’clock, a young woman approached. When I turned, she smiled. She wasn’t very tall,
more than a half-foot shorter than my five-ten. Probably in her early twenties. Long curly
brown hair, regular features and green eyes—the type of young woman most often described as
‘cute’, that catchall description meaning she wasn’t a beauty, but there was nothing to drive her
into the realm of ugliness. She wore sunglasses, a brimmed hat and a sundress that flattered the
kind of figure men love and women hate, the full curves so maligned in a world of Jenny Craig
and SlimFast.”
- Elena, from Stolen





Thought of someone different? Let me know!

From Book to Actor - Clayton Danvers


Clayton Danvers
Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: Jan 15, 1962
hair colour: blond
eye colour:  blue
height: 6"
build: well built


I pictured someone similar to Alex Pettyfer, drop dead gorgeous, scruffy yet well put together. A little younger looking for my ideal idea of Clayton, although age him a bit and he's perfect.
 What do you think?


Quote from book:

“Like Elena, Clay was blond-haired, blue-eyed, and well built. While Elena was attractive, Clay
was traffic-stopping gorgeous…and had all the charm of a pit viper.”
- Paige from Industrial Magic






From Book to Actor - Elena Micheals

Elena Michaels
Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong

DOB: Sept 22, 1968 
hair colour: white-blond
eye colour:  blue
height: 5 ' 10"
build: athletic

Reading these novels I have always picture Elena to ressemble Charlize Theron.

Who do you guys think would make a perfect Elena?
Quote from book:
“There stood the world's only female werewolf, a title that sounds more like it should describe
a circus freak show than the blond woman in the doorway. Tall and lean, Elena Michaels had a
werewolf's typically athletic build and the kind of wholesome good looks that cause men to say
things like 'wow, if she dolled herself up, she could be a knockout'. Those who dared say such
things, though, were more likely to find themselves knocked out.
Today Elena wore a T-shirt, cutoff jean shorts and sneakers, with her long silver-blond hair tied
back in an elastic band and maybe, just maybe, lip gloss . . . and looked a helluva lot better than I
did after hours of grooming.”
- Paige, from Industrial Magic
