Line 19:
** The couple in the first episode were based on Antonio Banderas and Selma Hayek. The doctor {{spoiler|also known as a conman}} who revives Faye is based on George Clooney. The bounty hunter in "[[Mushroom Samba]]" is based on Pam Grier. ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' liked this trope.
* It's hard to tell, given the [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|blue hair]] and [[Eyes of Gold]], but April of ''[[Darker than Black]]'' looks a fair amount like Halle Berry, which is probably because her Japanese voice actress, Takato Honda, dubs a lot of Berry's film roles, including that of [[X-Men|Storm]], who like April, is black and has weather-control powers.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20100722013448/http://totallylookslike.com/2009/12/03/ergo-proxy-totally-looks-like-amy-lee/ It's been noted] that Re-l of ''[[Ergo Proxy]]'' has an uncanny resemblance to [[Evanescence]] [[The Face of the Band|singer]] Amy Lee.
* In ''[[Moldiver]]'', [[Mad Scientist]] Doctor Machinegal's {{spoiler|robot}} female minions are all named after (and {{spoiler|are designed to}} resemble) various female movie stars.
* Kenshiro of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' fame infamously resembles Mel Gibson's character from ''The Road Warrior'' with a bit of [[Bruce Lee]] to round him out.
