I needed somebody to represent Eli visually. Eli is the hero of FALLEN (St. Martin’s Aug. 08). I needed somebody who was really big and scary but also hot, and who looked…different. Eli is, well, not entirely human. I’m not sure how much I should say about him this far in advance of the release, but I needed a certain look to represent him in my head, and who better than Clancy Brown? Nobody did big and scary better than he did as The Kurgan in Highlander, and he is hot. So here he is, my visual inspiration for Eli.
Bookclub news: Wild Wild West has been picked up by Rhapsody, Lit Guild and Doubleday bookclubs! Yippee-ki-ay!
Congrats on WWW getting picked for the book club!
I became a Clancy Brown fan during Earth 2…
Thanks, Lori! It’s awesome. : D Clancy Brown is just cool, isn’t he?
That’s awesome, Charli. Congrats on being picked up by the bookclubs! I’ll be able to say I knew you when. *g*
I have to admit I don’t know who Clancy Brown is, but the photo looks inspirational. 🙂
Thanks, NJ! He’s been in lots of movies and TV shows so chances are good you’ve seen him in something. Yep, he’s inspiring!
