Anyone interested in comparing a TV/Film/Book character to a particular card? You can post a character and card, or just a character (along with the TV show/film/book the character is from) and let the next person fill in the card.
e.g. Donald Trump (The Apprentice) -- The Emperor
Dr. Frasier Crane -- The Hierophant

The Devil-Randall Flagg (aka the Walkin' Dude) in Stephen King's "The Stand". He also appears in many other novels by Stephen King, with different names, but they are all, clearly, the same entity.

My favourite and only TV show, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda is full of strong archetypes, which is why I watch it:
Captain Dylan Hunt = The Fool - his faith and innocence keep him going, no matter what the odds
Seamus Harper = The Magician - the ship's engineer and wunderkind
Trance Gemini = The High Priestess - a spiritual powerhouse and the Captain's anima guide
Beka Valentine = The Empress - emotionally complex, creative, sexual, and the unknowing founder of the whole genetically engineered Nietzschean race
The Patriarch = The Emperor - rather a negative one
Rev Bem = The Hierophant - personally I was really glad to see him go!
Sexy Guest Stars = The Lovers - temptations are faced, difficult choices are made, but the mission continues
Telemachus Rhade = The Chariot - a powerhouse of male virility, after the first Chariot became The Tower
Doyle = Strength - feminine innocence with a big punch
Rev Bem in Exile = The Hermit - continuing to undergo transformation
The Route of Ages = The Wheel of Fortune - destiny, for better or worse
Andromeda Ascendant = Justice - the starship personified, the great equalizer and legalist
The Spirit of the Abyss = The Devil - materialism, seduction, control, obsession
Tyr Anasazi = The Tower - and a very imposing one too!
The Vedrans = The Star - messengers of peace and hope
The Commonwealth = The World - what the Captain seeks to restore

miss piggy = queen of cups

can't think of which card kermit resembles though...

Kermit's gotta be the King of Cups. I'd put Miss Piggy as Queen of Pentacles, though.

Bugs Bunny as the Fool. He appears innocent at first (how much harm can a rabbit really do?), but don't let that demeanor fool you! He's got plenty hidden away in his bag of tricks and he's ready to dive into any situation. :)

The fool must actually be "just William" .... A series of books by Richmond Crompton. Never big in USA but so popular into the 70s in this country.So popular from the 30s (50s when published) when it was based.So funny!And stilll relevant tod.ay.Why?? Because he / she enjoyed the experiece of our childhood and felt at the time anything was possible.G.

Two of Cups - Jack and Lucy from "While You Were Sleeping"

I'll have to take your word on that, Gareth. Never heard of "Just William."
How about the Powerpuff Girls as Strength and the Yellow Submarine as The Chariot? Samurai Jack as The Hermit? I LOVE animated movies and shows, if you hadn't guessed. :D
Claire Huxtable as The Empress? She's my all-time favorite TV mom. On second thought, maybe she'd be better as Queen of Swords. She's tough, but fair. There are many other TV moms who are more mom-ish... like Donna Reed, Carol Brady, nearly every TV mom on every show... jeez, I hate how formulaic most sitcoms are. There are exceptions, of course, but by and large....

I liked that Hollywood deck.
I think Jason Biggs (American Pie) would make a great Fool

When I think of 'Le Mat' (The Fool), I see eccentricity and freedom, and a person that is not restricted by conventional beliefs. He has childlike characteristics, is spontaneous and takes risks. There is no laws and rule books and this person is not a conformist and is beholden to nobody.
The other week I saw a re-run of 'Desperately Seeking Susan'. The title character (played by a young Madonna) struck me to have the characteristics of 'Le Mat' (The Fool) - travelling from one place to another with all of her belongings in one suit case; dressing in an unconventional manner and living spontaneously from moment to moment. For her, each day seemed like a new adventure; the character fearlessly throws herself into situations without considering the outcome. She appears totally free, unlike the main character, played by Rosanna Arquette, who is the opposite - maybe the flip side of 'Le Mat'.

The Tower: King Lear
Does a play qualify for TV/Film character? This card has always reminded me of King Lear wandering through the countryside trying to accept the loss of his kingdom because he didn't see the light. Come to think of it, that play has the fool too, hmmm . . .
