In honor of Valentine’s Day (Singles Awareness Day, or if you are in Finland, Ystävänpäivä – literally translated as “Friends Day”) tomorrow, I pose the following question…
In a fantasy world, if you could fall in love with any movie, television or book character
(CHARACTERS NOT ACTORS)
who would you choose? Can you name 14?
Here are mine:
14. James Bond – The James Bond Series (by: Ian Flemming)
13. Gale Hawthorne – The Hunger Games Series (by: Suzanne Collins)
12. Don Lockwood – Singing in the Rain (1952)
11. Rhett Butler – Gone With The Wind (by: Margret Mitchell)
10. Aragorn – The Lord of the Rings Series (by: J.R.R. Tolkien)
9. Robin Hood – Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
8. Westley – The Princess Bride (by: William Goldman)
7. Dr. Kevin Novak – The Ashley Stockingdale Series (by: Kristin Billerbeck)
6. Owen Palmer – The Enchanted, Inc Series (by: Shanna Swendson)
5. Nathan Scott – One Tree Hill (2003-2012)
4. Jay Gatsby – The Great Gatsby (by: F. Scott Fitzgerald)
3. Marty Deeks – NCIS LA (2010 – )
2. Luc DeForges – A Billion Reasons Why (by: Kirsten Billerbeck)
1. Francisco d’Anconia – Atlas Shrugged (by: Ayn Rand)
Your choices are quite interesting. And not surprisingly, I would have several of the same ones on my list. I’ll have to think about this…
At long last, and after much more difficult thought than I would have guessed… Here’s my list in no real order, but number one would be at the top of the list anyway.
1. Tim Gutterson – Justified TV Series
2. Rhett Butler – Gone With The Wind (Margaret Mitchell)
3. Luc DeForges – A Billion Reasons Why (Kristen Billerbeck)
4. Dean Winchester, before the demon possession – Supernatural TV Series
5. Harvey Specter – Suits TV Series
6. Bruce Holloway – Newlywed Games (Mary Davis)
7. Edmond Dantes – The Count of Monte Cristo (Alexandre Dumas)
8. Scott Coleman – Vince Flynn novels
9. Marshall Mann – In Plain Sight TV Series
10. Hoot – Black Hawk Down
11. MacGyver – MacGyver TV Series
12. Leroy Jethro Gibbs – NCIS TV Series
13. EJ DiMera – Days of Our Lives TV Series
14. Robb Stark – Game of Thrones (George R. R. Martin)
I cannot believe how much time I spent thinking about this list. It was much harder than I would have guessed. To be honest, I came up with the first one really easily, the first nine somewhat easy, but all fourteen, whew! I guess we didn’t end up with as many of the same ones as I would have thought. 😉
