Do you picture actors in your mind when you read?

[Sandra Smith 18]

I'm usually not reading a book that's been turned into a movie, so no I don't picture any specific actors when reading. All my images are based on the author's description and probably filters that I have that I'm not even aware of.

I try to picture the character by how the author describes them. I do not always agree with who they choose to play parts in the movies that are based on books. This is because, they never look like what I pictured.

[AlexGrav]

Only if I've seen a movie based on a book before actually reading the book, otherwise I imagine the characters the way they're described.

[Paul Link]

I don't. I usually form a picture in my mind based off of the description by the author. I actually prefer authors that don't provide too much description, though, so I can imagine the character to look how my mind will allow it.

[Tommy Mayengbam]

Yes, when I'm engrossed in a book, I see the characters in my mind's eye even though that isn't my intention.

[Tomy Chandrafrost]

Yes, definitely. This is supported if the author is descriptive enough in explaining the characters and the atmosphere in the story.

[Charmaine Mahlangu]

All the time especially if they were described to perfection. It makes reading the book easier to imagine. By the time im dpne with the book it looks like I was watching a movie.
