Molly Solverson
In the FX television series Fargo, Deputy Molly Solverson (Allison Tolman) is a rookie police officer for the Bemidji police department. When a string of murders are committed in the sleepy Minnesota town, she suspects that Lorne Malvo and Lester Nygaard are somehow involved.
Hannah Horvath
In the HBO series Girls, Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) stars as a hip twenty-something from Brooklyn. She aspires to become a famous writer, but manages to bungle up pretty much everything, including her outfits, along the way.
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
In the Fargo TV series, Lorne Malvo (Billy Bob Thornton) is a hitman that passes through Bemidji. In a chance encounter with Lester Nygaard in a hospital waiting room, he convinces Lester about the virtues of violent revenge. Aces!
Aiden Pearce
In the video game Watch Dogs, Aiden Pearce hacks computer systems in order to bring justice to those responsible for his niece’s death. Don’t let the baseball cap fool you — Aiden is a gray hat hacker all the way.
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.
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.
Queen Gorgo
In 300, Lena Headey makes an appearance as Queen Gorgo of the Spartans. I guess that was good practice for becoming queen of Westeros in Game of Thrones.
Magic Shia LaBeouf
On Saturday Night Live, Shia LaBeouf plays a fanciful magician. His most famous act is taking your age and subtracting 2. Add 2 again, and you get your real age. Magic!
