Really Really Experienced
I recently added a cast of characthrs page to give readers an idea of what I think the characthers look like. So I thought I might see what other could think of for their stories. List characthers and then who you think they most look like in real life. I picked pornstars but there or no limits on who you can pick.

Casting

Abigail Smith: Marina Visconti
Allison Nicolette Smith: Luna Amor
Elizabeth Hope Smith: Lorna Morgan
Joanna Elizabeth Miller: Elle Alexandra
Isabelle Penelope Miller: Mia Sollis
Victoria Susanna Miller: Justine Jolie
Candice Gwendolyn Taylor: Lexi Belle
Katherine Christina Taylor: Mia Malkova
Margaret Grace Taylor: Phoenix Marie

Joanna was the hardest to find a girl that looks both tough and yet sexy which Elle seems to fit and Elle does a lot of girl on girl stuff. Candy and Kat where also tricky because they or twins so I wanted girls that look simular but also could be told apart. Though Alex the main character is still a little tricky for me.

When The Cat's Away

I couldn't settle on one actor or actress as a close match, so I picked several who might be able to carry the right look and feeling. Joyce and Bernie Bernstein were especially hard, and I bet I could get closer.

Casting

Hank Menard -- Dennis Quaid, Harrison Ford, Randy West
Veevee Menard -- Lucy Lawless (as a blonde), Jane Fonda, Nina Hartley
Gary Menard -- Michael Cera, Emilio Estevez, Freddie Prinze Jr. (as a blond)
Lil Menard -- Drew Barrymore, Sissy Spacek, Anna Kournikova

Jim Walker -- Peter Fonda, Sting
Sally Walker -- Sally Kellerman, Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones
Peter Walker -- River Phoenix

Joyce Bernstein -- Bella Abzug, Susie Bright, Mollie Katzen (in a queen-size edition)
Naomi "Bernie" Bernstein -- Paula Poundstone, Linda Cardellini (as Velma Dinkley)

Maybe Whizzper has someone in mind for Bryan and Kathryn, those notorious cross-over characters.

Interesting idea for a topic, I figured I'd share my views on who I think the characters of my story, 'At The Cabin', most look like:

Zack Bishop - Logan Lerman, from the Percy Jackson movies
Victoria Walker - I've created Vicky with AnnaSophia Robb in mind, but lately I've been seeing Gigi Hadid as a good fit for her as well
Heather Ravers - Elizabeth Gillies
Chloe McRose - Molly Quinn (only the face, the body was a bit difficult to find)
Ashley Woodsen - Another one who was tricky to find, but Dakota Fanning is the closest fit for how I imagine Ash
Brandon Cole - Skandar Keynes, from the Narnia movies
Gavin Westher and Kurt Johnson - Haven't really thought about them yet
Taylor Bishop - Kaya Scodelario
Hannah Woodsen - Ashley Benson
Peter Zander, Dustin Lewis, Shawn Lewis and Kendra Mackenzie - Haven't thought about them as well
Lisa Rivera - Selena Gomez or Victoria Justice
Jennifer White - Yvonne Strahovski or Caity Lotz
Leah Green - Emma Stone or Rose Leslie

Molly Quinn has a super cute face. I looked through image search for women's soccer players, saw a characteristic slim/muscular look, and decided that you've described Chloe as having more of a rugby player's build as far as pictures are concerned. There was even a little photospread (from Cosmopolitan, no less) with the Harvard women's rugby team and body image awareness issues.
 
For The Temptress

Casting

Ryan Carter - a younger Jon Hamm
Marlissa - a mix between Alyssa Campanella, Jaime Edmondson, and Jessa Hinton.

I always imagined Gavin looking similar to Jesse Eisenberg with not-as-curly hair. With Kurt, I had a young Robert Redford (in pictures where he has more blonde hair) in my mind.

Also, with Jennifer, I envisioned Jeri Ryan, so it's nice to know I wasn't too far off if you were thinking of Yvonne Strahovski. :)

Your takes probably come very close to what I'd pick, Yarkoz. As for Jennifer, yes, I tried to imagine a blonde in her late twenties who looked like she could kick some serious ass if she wanted, and I loved Yvonne on Chuck with the same traits I've mentioned, so it was a natural fit.
 
I've been imagining Gavin with the same face as Matt O'Leary, who played The Brain in Brick. I really like the contrast of a hard, square jaw on his otherwise boyish face, and there's something simpatico between The Brain's emotional removal and Gavin's self-consciousness. But then The Brain has glasses and dirty blond hair, so, I don't know. Maybe I'm trying too hard to justify my poor reading comprehension.

With Jennifer, I had Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine from Voyager in mind, when she was in her late 20's/early 30's, but Strahovski is more contemporary. Either way, Jennifer struck me as having that strong Germanic/Slavic look, especially when I created her French foreign exchange student fling in high school. East Meets West as it were :)

And hey, I think Matt O'Leary works a bit better Patzo. I always thought Gavin had a strong jaw, a representation of his inner strength of will when he shows it.
 
Matt O'Leary indeed looks like Gavin, I just opted to not give him glasses because of the whole geek with glasses stereotype.

Well, Kathryn is Eufrat. Bryan is actually Torg's character from Dorm Life.
