Hugo Wallace Weaving AO (born 4 April 1960) is an English actor. Born in Colonial Nigeria to English parents, he has resided in Australia for the entirety of his career. He is the recipient of six Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards (AACTA) and has also been recognised as an Honorary Officer of the Order of Australia. Weaving landed his first major role as English cricket captain Douglas Jardine on the Australian television series Bodyline (1984). Continuing to act in Australia, he rose to prominence with his appearances in the films Proof (1991) and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), winning his first AACTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role with the former. By the turn of the millennium, Weaving achieved international recognition through appearances in mainstream American productions. His most notable film roles include Agent Smith in the first three The Matrix films (1999–2003), Elrond in The Lord of the Rings (2001–2003) and The Hobbit (2012–2014) trilogies, the title character in V for Vendetta (2005), and Johann Schmidt / Red Skull in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). In addition to his live action appearances, Weaving has had several voice over roles, including in the films Babe (1995), Happy Feet (2006) and Happy Feet Two (2011), and the Transformers series as Megatron (2007–2011). He also reprised his roles of Agent Smith and Elrond in Matrix and Lord of the Rings video game adaptations.
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 :)
