More Frasier guest stars.

In the third batch is a portrait of Michael McShane (aka Mike McShane). You might know him from Whose Line is it Anyway? (the comedy improv game show) or as Friar Tuck from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I did NOT recognise him from a more recent photo that I found for his portrait. I had to double check to make sure it was him. He appears to have lost a LOT of weight and his hair and facial hair are different. Good for him on losing all that weight. I remember him lumbering from A to B on Whose Line is it Anyway and he would be constantly sweating as if walking a few paces was hard work for him.

Four person portraits, yay:

At last. I've been sitting on some new portraits, waiting for someone, anyone, to post. I posted twice in a row previously and you can't post more than twice in a row on the same thread. So anyway, here's some more Frasier guest stars.

Sorry that I haven't been posting as many as I should have. I've been preoccupied with other projects. Anyway, here are the profile for the characters of The Kids Are All Right and one other person.

Cool idea!

Also, can people try and use flattering pictures? I've noticed some of the profile portraits aren't very flattering.

and, like, maybe try and use up-to-date pictures? for example, in Taylor Momsen's first profile portrait, she has grown up a lot since it was taken and wouldn't be recognised like that.

and, I think the rule "Use candid or photoshoot picture for actor, not a still or promo-photoshoot from movie or television" should be applied! :)

@CherryBomb: Thanks for your suggestion! I added it to the front of the page. In addition, I'll try to find more flattering pictures in the future.

I like this format for actors and actresses,

I don't think this format is always necessary for Characters, I mean sometimes, a fuller length image is better to show off a particular character, if you understand me?

We've been using this format over on Anime Vice and it works great. If you think there should be a full length image to show off a character, then include that in the article itself, then everyone wins!
