Actors portraying Cartoon counterpart look-alikes?
OK, so I'm auditioning for the role of Alex Wilder [the runaways, Marvel comic] and I'm a bit stumped. I fit the bill of an African-American teen but I can't tell if we look the same. Then I wondered: do I have to be an exact representation of the comic teen? Like, would you rather have an exact look-a-like of the guy or a guy who resembles him a bit and can play the part to a tee?
Anyway, here's how the character looks

You don't need to look like the character at all, just sound like they do. Many very feminine looking women voice males so it is definitely not necessary.
Uh, Samuel L Jackson plays Nick Fury, and Nick Fury is supposed to be white. So it doesn't matter if you look like the character or not! :D It's all about acting skills, and they can always use makeup to doody you up to look like the character. Now that I think about it, Michael Chiklas isn't exactly made of rock...
