Do you ever..

So I was sitting in bed last night reading as I normally do. And I realized (not for the first time mind you) that when I really connect with characters, I actually start hearing their words.. and the way I think they would sound. So obviously, I have in my head the way that Charlie Parker sounds.. and Angel & Louis. Then I start thinking, who would be a good person to play them? I think for Louis I would pick someone like Danny Glover. He has that soft spoken way of being menacing without even trying. He radiates the characters he is playing, so he would definitely be my pick. Angel, I am not too sure. I hear his voice, but who would be a good pick? More thinking required. And as for Charlie Parker.. hmm I hear him, but who would be best to play him? I think that he is such a deep character, you can't go for a pretty boy. Needs to be someone who has a less apparent sexuality. I was actually thinking someone like Donnie Wahlberg because he just seems to become the person he is playing. Dangerous yet comforting. Thoughts?
