BELATED COMMENT AHOY. That's an interesting question re. actors/models/musicians -- I'm firmly in the actor camp for my own chars because, for lack of a better term, models often are too broadly good-looking and young and... modernly/fashionably done up? Like, if I have a nerdy 40-year-old character who wears ugly sweatervests constantly, it's a lot easier for me to find an actor who might have pictures of that nature on Hollow Art or PB Updates than a model. Similarly, I like the range of expressions that actors make a little better -- I tend to find models make the same five broody modelfaces (and maybe a few attractive smiles).

However, there's the flipside: the problem that with actors, you have to constantly be gambling that no one else in that game/social circle is using that PB, for cognitive dissonance/overlap problems, and that can be difficult and rule out a lot of famous stars. I love PB-choosing but sometimes it can be SO HARD.

As for musicians I can rarely find photos of them looking... err, normal enough. HOWEVER AS A FUN FACT I HAVE A CHARACTER WHO HAS DAVID BOWIE AS A PB. But he is not very normal-looking.
