Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

This one is killing me. I can picture the actor but can't think of his name or any movie he's been in.  Older man... light blue eyes, almost always in a suit or other "rich/powerful guy" clothing. Can't say he's a superstar but he's been in a lot of movies, often as the bad guy.

First person I thought of was Giancarlo Giannini (played Mathis in Casino Royal), but I don't think he had bright blue eyes.

Maybe I've just watched too much PBS..
But old Devlin Stone looks a lot like a lot like the actor David Bamber (which is hilarious when you factor in the kind of roles he usually plays).

Ying, that looks pretty spot on . . .

I was just looking through ER3145 . . . and man, I think they just took actor's faces and used some police sketch artist software to put the faces together like Mr Potatohead.  Its like someone took Alaric's cheeks and just pulled them out.

Here's another for you:

Funny thing is I knew exactly who it reminded me of...just took me 2 hours to find the actors name. Have seen him in lots of different shows...just not one of those actors you ever remember the name of...
And who is Alaric supposed to look like?

Well, my quick run down . . .

John Joseph Garnder (Filtvelt)- like a mix of Ben Kinglsey & Superman Gene Hackman
Alaric Ward-Steiner-Davion- a bit like Viggo Mortensen, except for the cheek bones stretched out
Roderick Steiner-  MIchael Shanks
Caleb SDSH-  Peter Dinklage
Eric Sandoval-Groell- Ben Bowder
Malcolm Buhl-  Colin Powell & Dick Cheney
Jonah Levin- distorted Pierce Brosnan, stretch out effects like Alaric
Damien Redburn- Mark Hamill in WC Prophecy
Anastasia Kerensky- Rhona Mitre
Malvina Hazen- Kate Beckinsale, bit elongated

Becket Malthus, Trillian Steiner-Davion and Cynthy both ring bells but the 'stretching' is throwing me off.

And yeah, I think you nailed Lucian.

Nope. I think the guy I'm thinking of is probably in his upper 60's to 70's by now, and has a pretty thick head of hair.

One member of my game group recommended Christopher Lee for Chistu

Though I think Christopher Wood comes a little closer

So we have the discussion about how certain characters look like they used X real person for a template but . . .

Do any of the characters look like John Wayne?

Hmm, I think it might be more of a mix of Yul Brenner and Ben Kingsley as the Mandrin, lol.

Looks more like Jerry Orbach to me.  Or a Jerry Orbach/Fred Willard combination.

Pretty sure that´s an image of Max von Sydow playing Ming in the 1980 movie, though.

Agreed, and even though the Flash Gordon was meh, it is awesome to watch.

He killed it as Ming, though I liked his black-robed apprentice a lot also
