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!
Carl Spackler from Caddyshack
In Caddyshack, when the upscale Bushwood Country Club is overrun with a gopher infestation, it’s the unhinged Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) who’s called in. And when flooding them out of their holes doesn’t work, he embarks on a scorched earth campaign.
Bloodhound Gang
The Bloodhound Gang is a Philly band known for their juvenile lyrics. In the music video for The Bad Touch, they’re fittingly wearing monkey suits as they sing about being nothing but mammals.
