It seems these days, that fans of Gundam Wing keep getting younger and younger and it made me think a horridly fun question: what if it had been popular when I had been young? So, I wound up wandering around on the 'net for a while, digging up old photos of actors who were very popular at the time and could have pulled off the characters. Mind you, some of these actors really weren't acting at the time, but were the right age and had the right skills to pull off the roles (ie: Brandon Lee and Mark Decascos).
I'd like ot thank everyone who helped me with this; members of the WiWP ML, Chibi Hentai-chan, my husband and many others. Thanks for reminding me who was out there! ^_^
So once again, I drag you into the pits of my depravity for a bit of fun and a trip down memory lane! Now this is really probably dating my ancient posterior, but I think the casting, had a live-action movie been suggested, would have been something like this: *click on the spinning stars to see the available casting*
