Are we really suprised that they couldn't find an actor that 100% matched the description in a book?
An Artist Creates Police Sketches to Show How Different Book and Movie Characters Are
When we read a book we often create images in our heads: the weather, how a house or an apartment is designed, and, most importantly, what the characters look like. And that’s what Brian J. Davis, a filmmaker and digital artist, decided to do too. Though he didn’t use his imagination to create images — he used a law enforcement composite sketch software to get the most accurate results!
Bright Side decided to compare these sketches to the pictures of the actors to see if they actually match the descriptions of the characters in books. Let`s see what we got!
1. Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
2. Daisy Buchanan, The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
3. James Bond, Casino Royal & Moonraker, Ian Fleming
4. Nick Dunne, Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn

11. Count Dracula, Dracula, Bram Stoker
12. Dorian Gray, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
13. Humbert Humbert, Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov

15. Professor Moriarty, The Final Problem, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
16. Lisbeth Salander, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson

Which actor`s appearance do you think is the closest to how it was described in the book? We`d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
Comments
most of the times actors' appearances don't match with the book, but I don't think it's necessary. As long as they play good and the film is interesting, it's all fine to me
I'd prefer an actor because he can act.. not because he looks like a character from a book description
Sherlock’s is just wow ?
I don’t think Moriarty’s pics match one another
