Let’s talk about a character proposal

You’re going to hate me for saying this, but your face is changing. (So is mine by the way. I think mine’s turning into a potato.) I would like you to consider picking a part in a movie where the character looks… I have this image in my head of… *Quit thinking about potatoes!  I want to say it’s one of those old, black & white Frankenstein type/sci-fi movies or tv shows. The guy was tall and lanky, but hunched over and bony-faced. (Not to say you are those things. Just go with me, here!)

Ok, I had to try and search for it, and I just want you to know I’m probably going to have nightmares tonight, since one of the images on Google was the frickin’ Exorcist. I am terrified of that movie. TERRIFIED! I think I had nightmares about it from the age of 5 until 15. You know at the end of that movie, when she was “normal,” there’s this sense of relief? Well, not for me! She looked like one of my cousins. I know I’ve written this before in one of my letters, for some reason, but it’s not posted here. I also associate that movie girl’s face with peas. Gosh, what’s with the vegetables? I can’t remember the movie or show I am thinking of. I can’t remember the character. The closest, that pops into mind, is nosferatu (spelling?), but I’m not entirely confident that’s the one. I’m thinking this character was an assistant or a not-so-bright sidekick or something who was kind of treated badly.

No, I am not saying you are terrifying. I think that your facial features could be made terrifying with some effects, and although I never watch horror movies, (REALLY, I quit after Scream or Blair Witch, although I think those are probably classified more as suspense) I want you to do one. It could have a sad, heartbreaking undercurrent where the character has to do something he doesn’t want to do… If not, how about a film with very artistically-styled characters geared toward children? At least I would watch that one. *tsk. Because it wouldn’t be a horror film, silly! I know what you’re thinking! Oh, and I know you probably would not enjoy people putting makeup and devices all over your face (tee hee), but an artist suffers at times, no? Aw, do it for me. Thank you, Mr. Pip
