While I’m writing my current WIP, I’m already thinking ahead, trying to cast the male lead for my next story.  Keeps me motivated.  This is a book I started a while ago, but I couldn’t get it off the ground.  Since I want to take another stab at it, I need a face to attach to my hero.  This helps me get inside his head.  Soooooo, I’d like your assistance.  I tried this a couple years ago on my old blog and it worked very well for me creative-wise. I’ve posted eight photos of Male Candidates below and I’d like you guys to cast a vote for the one you think will be the best fit after you consider the following:

Name: Eric Mendez
Birthday: November 16, Brooklyn N.Y.
Siblings: 5
Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Music: Hard and Classic Rock
Occupation: Actor
Awards: Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, two Golden Globe nominations
Marital Status: Divorced (married for a week)
Character Type: Definitely Alpha with a Beta heart
Character Description: Always the center of attention, Eric thrives in the spotlight.  The man’s a definite hottie.  When he walks into a room you know it.  He’s got charisma, confidence and could probably charm the panties off a nun.  Oh, and he’s also got an ego.  And it’s HUGE.
What He Needs To Learn: Humility and self-sacrifice
Favorite Food: Anything Chinese
