Taylor Daniel Lautner (born February 11, 1992) is a Euro-Indigenous American actor and model. He is best known for playing shapeshifter Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga film series. Lautner began his acting career playing bit parts in comedy series such as The Bernie Mac Show (2003) and My Wife and Kids (2004), before having voice roles in television series like What's New, Scooby-Doo? (2005) and Danny Phantom (2005). In 2005, he appeared in the film Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and starred in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D. He also starred in the 2011 action film Abduction. From 2014 to 2018, Lautner starred in the BBC sitcom Cuckoo as the son of the titular character. In 2016, he played a leading role, Dr. Cassidy Cascade, in the second season of FOX black comedy series Scream Queens. The late 2000s saw Lautner become a teen idol and sex symbol, after extensively changing his physique to keep the role of Jacob Black in further Twilight installments, and generating media attention for his looks. In 2010, he was ranked second on Glamour's "The 50 Sexiest Men of 2010" list, and fourth on People's "Most Amazing Bodies" list. Also in the same year, Lautner was named the highest-paid teenage actor in Hollywood.
This fan cast is for a fan-made, manga-styled Mortal Kombat shounen comic series that I want to make at some point. I aim to adapt the first four Mortal Kombat games at the very least. I want to base the characters' appearance on real actors (except for characters like Reptile and Baraka). One is because the series was based on martial arts movies like Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport. Two is because I thought it would be a cool throwback to how the sprites for the original game were created from photos of real people. You can suggest any actor you think might look the best for the character (Dead or Alive). You can also pick actors based on how they looked in their younger years as well. Also, you're not limited to only characters from the first 4 games and can suggest characters from the entire franchise. Have fun :)
