Prison Mike

In the Office, Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) adopts the persona of Prison Mike when he wants to shock people about the tough conditions of prison life. As he tells it, the prison food is nothing but gruel, but by far the worst thing about prison was the Dementors.

Captain America

A frail Steve Rogers takes an experimental serum and becomes Captain America, a World War II hero and leader of the Avengers. As the name suggests, he’s pretty patriotic, garbing himself head to toe in the stars and stripes. Most recently, Cap has been played by actor Chris Evans.

Billy Brown

In Buffalo ’66, Billy Brown (Vincent Gallo) is finally released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Sensibly, the first thing he does when he gets out is kidnap a tap dancer named Layla and “span time” with her at the bowling alley.

Lorne Malvo

Lester Nygaard

In the FX television adaptation of Fargo, Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman) is a polite and meek insurance salesman from Bemidji, Minnesota. After he’s pushed over the edge by his old high school bully and then his abusive wife, boy does he embraces his darker side.

Mako Mori

In Pacific Rim, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) is an officer of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps and Raleigh Becket’s badass co-pilot. She lost her family in a Kaiju attack when she was a little girl, so she has a score to settle.

John Constantine

Based on Alan Moore’s Hellblazer comics, John Constantine (Matt Ryan) can see the supernatural in our everyday world. He must do all he can, including the morally questionable, in the fight against the evil paranormal. You can simply substitute a black tie to dress up as Keanu Reeves’s Constantine. Whoa.
