Sadly, in real life I had more in common with Anthony Michael Hall's dorky "Brian" character.

Same here: although this nerd did take the school bully down - result, no more bullying from anyone.  TeddyR

Although, Chiun from Remo Williams is another fun character.

I can imagine you saying things like "You drive like a monkey in heat" and "You move like a pregnant yak!"  TeddyR

I'm no hero, never was. I'm just an old killer.

So many to choose from, but I've always liked Sam Jackson as Agent Flynn in SOAP.

There are actually quite a few, but if I had to pick one, it is the one I based my name on. Kevin (played by Chris Pitt) the boy scout in "Lair of the White Worm." (Reviewed at this website.) No matter how long I have to live, and I don't have very long, my 1st experience sexual experience in the film, will never be topped.

Since the characters we choose from TV and/or films reflect ourselves, and since my last answer was incomplete, let this be my answer to the subject.

After 45 years and some 2 dozen characters, here is my final character, and an example of all my characters.

Character's name "Character's nickname" (Actor playing character) "TV show or film"

Danny "One Who Deserves Better" Latimer (Oskar McNamara) "Broadchurch"

Choosing a nickname for the character is my exercise in intellectuality. I have always had a fondness for the one getting the short end of the stick, and this character certainly deserves a writer who understands the mindset of pre-teen boys. Which this writer does not. On the other hand, for one that does, look at Ellen Hart's latest in the Jane Lawless mystery series "Taken by the Wind," which we will go into more detail later.

I judge my characters in 7 different categories.

Adult or teen. Here: pre-teen actually, and the youngest character that I most wanted to be like.
Adults 37% Teens 59% + 1 pre-teen.
What can I say? I never grew up.

Hero or villain or neither. Here: neither.
Hero 25% Villain 40% Neither 35%
I have always had a preference for the villain in a story.

Nationality. Here: English
When the nationality can be determined, and sometimes it cannot. Actually, most are Americans 56%. English one half of that + 1 Frenchman.

Upper, middle, or lower class. Here: middle.
Middle 67% Upper 11% Lower 19%. Solidly middle class.

Deceased, not deceased but injured, neither. Here: deceased
Deceased 59% Injured 15% Neither 25%. There is no character test of a character like watching to see how one dies, which is why my total is so high for deceased characters.

Criminal or crime victim or both. Here: both
Criminal 19% Victim 30% Both 33% Alot of criminals are also victims of a crime, and it is not only the villains that are criminals, so are alot of the heroes.

Past, present, or future. Here: present.
Past 22% Present 70% Future 7%
Grounded in the present or that period from 1950 to today.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
