“Playing” with these characters, especially Mr. Cataliades, was so fun! True Blood really missed out!
Desmond Cataliades
For my AH (all human) Comfortably Numb Series, I pictured Alan Alda.
For the Back & Forth world, I used Harvey Keitel for my inspiration.
For the UN-iverse, I pictured Victor Garber.
In The Sleeper Must Awaken, I saw Oliver Platt in my mind.
Lately, my Desmond of choice has been Bill Murray. He is my Desmond muse in the Gift Horse Series, for instance.
Diantha
I’ve always pictured the striking Zooey Deschanel for this role.
Nargal
Given that I was using Bill Murray for my Desmond Cataliades in Not Without Action, I thought Dan Aykroyd would be fun in that piece, too.
