To Darkness Fled Trailer: Characters vs Actors

Something really funny is how Jacob Parker, when acting as Evil Prince Esek Nathak/Gidon Hadar in a shortly to be released book trailer, closely resembles a picture of said person, which Jill Williamson made for a FB quiz on her Christy-Award winning first book in the Blood of Kings trilogy, titled ‘Which character in By Darkness Hid are you?’ Christian Miles and Jacob put the quiz together, but Jill supplied the pictures of her characters.

Observe:

And here’s Jacob Parker as Esek! See the resemblance?

Jacob Parker as Prince Gidon Hadar i.e. Esek

And Achan Cham, from the cover of By Darkness Hid. He’s looking down, and so …

It’s easy to imagine he’s just a painting of this fellow, who is Christian Miles.

My father played Sir Gavin Lukos. Here’s Sir Gavin’s FB quiz picture, again made by Jill Williamson.

And here’s how it looked with my dad:

Sir Gavin as played by 'Robert Treskillard' (my dad)

Surprisingly, I and my book-cover alter ego look a bit alike as Vrell Sparrow:

But my nose is longer (!) At least the end of it looks the same, and the eyes and mouth. My black hair is truer to the book.

What do you think? Do we all match?

I think you all looked amazing! I hadn't seen a picture of your dad yet. He looked awesome!

Aha! I have never even SEEN that picture before now!

Well, if my hair were longer, and a bit curlier, *and* if I had a few more wrinkles, I guess it would be a close resemblance. Still ... I am surprisingly similar to the Facebook quiz!

Now, what surprise picture of you can I find around here to post on *my* blog? Hmmmm.....
