These descriptions are of course idealized versions of my characters. When it comes to casting actors, though, the physical appearance may not fit the exact person I had in mind. This is to be expected because it is extremely rare that you find someone who both fits your vision exactly and can act as well. So when giving physical descriptions I like to keep it extremely vague so that I can adapt the "look" to my chosen actor.
