So many ideas! Try my VC-casting tag for a better answer because I have other people’s ideas for him (and other chars) there.
I enjoy the FC’s that the RPers use out here, and of those there are too many to name. If you’re really putting me on the spot and I can’t pick Tom Cruise circa 1993…. then here are a few options.
I don’t wanna cut the post so I’m not gonna. DEAL WITH IT.
- Martin Rolinski
I do adore Martin Rolinski as Lestat. There’s gotta be more than a pretty face, and there are tons of pretty faces out there. It’s about the acting, the whole package.
He can sing, for starters.
He has the element of Being Silly: [X]

Sexy (ok this is a goofy-sexy here whatever it counts): [X]

Intensely dark: (source credit lestattheonetruepope X)

That said…
- Taylor Hanson – and I was not a Hanson fan, ok? I pick him now only bc liquorandptsdvarietyshow liked him as a Lestat FC, and I had to agree. Plus, dude can sing.

^ Very Bruce Springsteen here.

^The kind of Lestat I’m-Not-Posing-I-Swear-I-Am-Just-Always-Camera-Ready de Lioncourt face.
- Joe Anderson
maestrolestat’s gif is very Lestatuesque, and I don’t know this actor very well, but his similarity to Kurt Cobain does smtg for this child of the 90’s. Was he a vampire in something else? I’m too lazy to look it up. From pics I’ve seen, he seems to have those de Lioncourt qualities!

Also I love bowling…

My absolute fave Lestats are fanart tho. I WANT GRAPHIC NOVELS and an animated series and/or movie ok? I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS ANY CLEARER ;A;
