TV characters and actors

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

Seeing as my heart is broken because I just finished watching "Prison Break," the most epic TV series I've ever seen, (seriously, if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and get hooked!) I wanted to keep the magic alive a bit longer.

I don't know if this has ever been done, but I figured it might be fun for everyone to pick their favorite TV show, list the names of the actors, the characters they play, and the actor's families. I picked some of my more favorite characters from the show and compiled the most info I could find.



”Michael Scofield” – Wentworth Miller nn Stinky, Went, Miller
Parents: Joy-Marie and Wentworth Earl
Siblings: Gillian and Leigh (f)

”Lincoln ‘Linc’ Burrows” – Dominic Purcell nn Dom
Siblings: Damian, Jaime (I only like this name spelled this way), Patrick, Marie-Therese
Children: Joseph, Audrey, Lily-Rose and Augustus (twins)
Nieces: Claudia and Eilisha

”Dr. Sara Tancredi” – Sarah Wayne Callies
Husband: Josh
Daughter: Keala (don’t know how this would be pronounced, so I can’t decide if I like it or not)

”Fernando Sucre” – Amaury Nolasco (this was the actor that I posted about prior, and yes, he is Puerto Rican!)
Sister: Deborah

”Theodore ‘T-Bag’ Bagwell” – Robert Knepper
Wife: Tori
Son: Benjamin Peter
Parents: Pat and Donald

”Charles Westmoreland/D.B. Cooper” - Muse Watson
(never heard Muse as a name before, I kind of like it!)

”Alexander (Alex) Mahone” – William Fitchner
Ex-wifes: Kymberly and Betsy
Sisters: Mary, Margaret, Pamela, and Patricia
Father: Theodore

”John Abruzzi” – Peter Stormare
Ex-wife: Karen
Wife: Toshimi
Children: Kelly, and Kaiya Bella Luna (I like these three names separately, but not together)

”L.J. Burrows” (L.J. stands for Lincoln Jr.) – Marshall Allman
Parents: James and Idanell (thought this name was interesting)
Wife: Jamie Ann

I've never seen this show but everyone keeps telling me it's really good so maybe I should watch.

I like Temperance, but can't think of a nn that would be cute.

[sparklymoon.livejournal.com]

I love the books but I just can't watch the show!

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

I'm a teacher and that show reminds me too much of a day in my classroom- can't sit through an episode- too familiar

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

Haha Prison Break does?!

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

yeah, it's rough in the classroom

Tallulah Fyfe is...interesting, haha. What is Fyfe? That's so weird.

I don't understand the Stella Luna thing...that's like "Star Moon". Just a little overkill with the celestial names.

[mrssubee.livejournal.com]

I think Stella Luna is so cute- makes me think of the children's book Stellaluna about the bat

She got her unique first name "Swoosie" (which rhymes with Lucy, rather than woozy) from her father.

[on her name] "Change it to what - Tiffany? It's been an advantage. It's unforgettable. I'm the only one."

Field Adrianus Cate as Young Ned

Sy Richardson as The Coroner

Karis and Cress are different! I like them.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I was going to do Firefly too!

Just going to add: Jewel's character's full name is Kayewinnit Lee Frye, hence Kaylee. And Sean Maher and his partner also have a daughter--Sophia Rose.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I've thought about doing a post like this several times. I'm glad someone finally did!

Since Firefly is already taken, I'm going to go with due South. As it is a buddy cop show, most of these characters go by their last name just as much as their first, if not more. Also, famous names were often used for characters.

Paul Gross as Benton Fraser
David Marciano as Raymond "Ray" Vecchio
Callum Keith Rennie as Stanley Raymond "Ray" Kowalski
Beau Star as Harding Welsh
Gordon Pinsent as Robert "Bob" Fraser
Ramona Milano as Francesca "Frannie" Vecchio
