Deliberately Misleading Casting Calls (contains season 6 info to date)

[Zulu Romeo]

On several of the character pages of Lostpedia.com, especially for characters in later seasons, there is a section detailing the casting call for that character, usually describing the character in a fairly misleading way, encapsulating their character quirks but changing names, details, and important plot points. Some of my favourites are:

Lennon (Dogen's bespectacled lieutenant)
Male, mid 30s to late 50s, could be any ethnicity. Scruffy, edgy and charismatic, yet can be deferential when needed; may have gone a little stir-crazy. Spokesperson and translator for the president of a foreign corporation. He facilitates the weight and power of his boss’s commands. He is a wily negotiator who is far more powerful than it seems from his position....

MIB (as played by Titus Welliver in "The Incident" / "Ab Aeterno")
Samuel. Any ethnicity, 40s-60s. A corporate raider looking to take over his next company. Powerful, devious and obtuse. He has a cunning intellect and a strong sense of danger. May lead to recurring. Looking for someone very interesting and very special for this role...

Radzinski (crazed architect of the Swan station)
Marty Jankowsky-40s to 50s, Caucasian, very smart and controlling. Marty has his own way of doing things and god help you if you cross him and/or try to alter his very precise process. A deep and free thinker he uses his fierce intellect as a weapon.

Charles Widmore (as seen in the second half of season 5, from the 1970s Hostiles era)
Graham, Caucasian, male, 40. Blue eyes, 6 foot, English/British ONLY, confident, has come into his own and ready to be a leader. He's the SVP of a major financial corporation jockeying for the CEO position...

Interesting stuff. I always wondered where they got that information from.

Plus, I also wondered how one might have put together similarly misleading casting calls for the main characters or other characters from season 1? (especially knowing what we know now about them)
