Polling for a Hero

I’m moving right along in my book where the hero is a spy, but I’m still trying to really fix him in my head physically. (Trust me when I say that you can write nearly the entire book while being in this unsure state, but it’s not recommended.)

Meet Gage Carswell, British agent (and keep in mind I’m still in draft stage):

He’d established himself as a master of seduction early on when he joined The Firm a decade ago, straight out of university. He’d realized he’d rather seduce than coerce, earning himself the code name Eros. He didn’t really have much of a stomach for torture. Although he did whatever the job required, he’d much rather ply her with an instrument of pleasure than pain.

So, today, dear reader, you get to cast a vote for Gage Carswell. I’m polling for my hero.

Christian Bale

or

Jon Hamm

I know which way I’m leaning…but I thought I’d ask. And no, don’t talk to me about Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan or my personal fave spy, Daniel Craig, cause they are hot guys but they bring too much baggage with them — I can’t mold them into the hero I want.

So, so, whaddaya think? Talk to me.

  4. I don’t know who you are leaning toward but I have my suspicions. I’m not familiar with Jon Hamm but there is something in his eyes that tells me he would be good at plying to get what he wanted.

    Based on Christian Bale’s performances in movies past, he could do the job well but there is something definitely intriguing about Jon Hamm.

    My .02. Good luck making your decision, Jenn.

  8. Well…so far, Christian leading this poll and I gotta say I’m pretty partial to him.

    I thought the new faces were fun, too, Barbara.

  9. But you can’t deny, we’ve all seen Christian and relate better to him. Jon Hamm is mysterious. (Note to self, I must find out more about him.)
