Somehow...okay, some real life people that got transplanted into mind-movie
of GR:
Slothrop = pynchon himself (at least, how he looked at 17...a lot like
WWI flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker)
Pirate = Bryan Brown (F/X, Cocktail, etc.)
Katje = that girl who plays Jane on Melrose Place
Enzian = Paul Robeson
Tantivy = Terry-Thomas
Bloat = Ernest Borgnine
Blicero = Donald Pleasence
also I tended to cast Tchitcherine's sidekick, Dzaqyp Qulan the teenage Kazakh
dope fiend, as this guy who was in my seminar. Couldn't place Roger Mexico
for the life of me....face-wise, I mean. I'd substitute Prentice's, usually,
since he prefigures Roger at middle age.
just a thought.
