Raoul Duke
In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a film based on Hunter S. Thompson’s novel, magazine writer Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) travels to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race. But he ends up spending most of that time picking up hitchhikers, taking psychoactive drugs, and driving through bat country.
Deadpool
In the Marvel Universe, Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson) is a mentally unstable mercenary. He’s hugely popular with comic fans as the merc with a mouth, frequently breaking the fourth wall. In the Wolverine movie, Ryan Reynolds also portrayed something that kind of resembled Deadpool, I guess…?
David Dunn
In Unbreakable, David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is a security guard who realizes that he has super powers after he’s the only one to survive a train wreck. And like in most M. Night Shyamalan movies, his kryptonite is the most common of substances: water. His poncho reads “FSU” (for Franklin State University) in yellow letters on the front, and “Security” on the back.
Michael Knight
In Knight Rider, Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) is a police officer who’s double-crossed by an informant and nearly killed. After undergoing reconstructive surgery and taking on a new identity, he fights crime as a secret agent for Knight Industries. But all we really care about is KITT, the talking Trans Am.
Arya Stark
In Game of Thrones, Arya (Maisie Williams) is the youngest daughter of House Stark. She’s the exact opposite of her older sister Sansa: carefree, resourceful, and a bit of a tomboy. A student of Syrio, she certainly knows how to use Needle.
Jon Snow
In Game of Thrones, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is the illegitimate son of Eddard Stark. Given no other choice, he takes an oath to the Night’s Watch, a brotherhood of outcasts sworn to guard the Wall for the rest of their lives. There he meets plenty of wild creatures, not least of all Ygritte.
Kenneth Parcell
Kenneth the Page, full name Andromakennethamblesorten Ellen Parcell, is an NBC page on 30 Rock. Portrayed by Jack McBrayer, he is perpetually cheerful, extremely naive, unflinchingly loyal to the network, and possibly immortal.
Frank Rossitano
On 30 Rock, Frank Rossitano is a writer for NBC’s TGS show. He’s sarcastic and childish, and all of it comes through in the catchphrases he wears on his hats and shirts.
Lazarus Redd
In Black Snake Moan, Lazarus Redd (Samuel L. Jackson) is a farmer and blues guitarist who’s left bitter and angry after his wife has an affair with his brother. When he comes across a wildly promiscuous Rae, he decides to do the proper thing by chaining her up and healing her of her sinful ways. Right.
