Casting characters for a book is a tricky business. First, you have to take into account all the little descriptive details you've woven into the story. Then you have to think about how those features translate on film/TV. It's said that blue eyes really pop on screen, but what if your character doesn't have blue eyes? What if the ideal actor to play that character does? That's what make up and contacts are for.
In this day and age, you can have your perfect actor and make them look the part. Now, if you've ever read Harry Potter and seen the films, you'll notice that Harry is all wrong, as an actor, because they didn't make him wear the right coloured contacts. Trust me, this is important. A lot of people love Daniel Radcliffe as the right Harry actor, but fan-hards know that the eye colour is wrong and point it out all the time. You don't want that.
So, we'll be taking a peek at the dream character casting for the Eternally Yours series, by Sophie Slade.

I walked out of the examining room and noticed a dark shadow, a tall man standing at the end of the
hallway. It was hard to tell, but he was extremely attractive with dark, wavy hair that just touched his
collar, brilliant, green eyes, and a regal air—a true Renaissance man.
His black Armani suit with a pristine, white shirt open at the color and no tie was evidence that he was a hospital benefactor, a businessman.

I laughed to myself. Even though I was only twenty-nine, I had been a doctor for two years now, which included four years of pre-med, four years of medical college and two years of residency, but my long blonde hair and blue eyes made me appear younger.
O’Malley let his eyes travel up and down my five foot, six inch frame and smiled.
