OT: Roger Likeness || Silent Hill: Downpour Murphy - Google Search

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=GfyHT-3fHqHl0QHaxsT3CQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBcQ_AUoAQ&biw=990&bih=586&q=Silent%20Hill:%20Downpour%20Murphy&orq=Silent+Hill:++Downpour+Murphy

Silent Hill:  Downpour Google Search produced these images of Murphy Pendleton, convicted felon and protagonist of the video game.  Wow.  Some pics here, there are tons more at the link above.  Whoever made this game, and I've read a little of the synposis, will have a GREAT DEAL of trouble convincing me that Todd Manning is not the model for this character.

"**********************
Roger Howarth
**********************
Murphy bears a striking resemblance to actor Roger Howarth, an actor
who's appeared in many tv shows (mainly soap operas) and played Todd Manning
on One Life to Live and then the same character on General Hospital,
described by wikipedia as "often selfish and acting the villain but
also compassionate and devoted to protecting his loved ones."

Taken from the Easter Egg Plot Guide for the Silent Hill Downpour Video Game.
