Ar i fully submit to your god damn demand.
A - Ashenzari: Jesse Eisenberg, like the condescending nerd who breaks down complicated stuff for you (skill boosts) and figures out everything (magic mapping, ID, monster locations) as long as you don't mess around, breaking his concentration (unswappable equipment). Unable to get out of his own head (he is bound, and you must be bound along with him).
B - Beogh: Gary Oldman, great at overacting as Beogh seems to do, and plays powerful but incompetent leaders well - can you not hear him say,
"Recall everyone."??
C - Cheibriados: Anthony Hopkins, plays calm and self-assured due to augmented abilities, unswayed by the turmoil around him, in film after film.
D - Dithmenos: Djimon Hounsou, self-explanatory.
E - Elyvilon: Patrick Stewart, plays characters who are greatly benevolent and competent. I've had a doctor who looks a bit like him.
F - Fedhas: Judy Garland, ok you got me here, I'm blowing smoke out my ass.
G - Gozag: Michael Douglas, very professional, strictly business, never loses his posture. Sure, that's not his only aspect, but same goes for Gozag - he may have any kind of private life. No need to imbue Gozag with uncontrollable greed.
J - Jiyva: Orson Welles, at least in his later days, creates the unmistakable impression of laziness and gluttony and not-giving-a-crap, all the while capable of great things. At least never has trouble expressing appreciation for the little pleasures of life. He even ate planets in some cartoon once.
K - Kikubaaqudgha: Ben Kingsley, just look at the guy! Plays good
serious evil, even if the film is goofy (stupid players), and Kiku doesn't mess around.
L - Lugonu: Kathy Bates, takes authoritative roles, including the classic chaotic controlling madwoman in Misery. Milla Jovovich tends to be too hapless to really control or disrupt anything beyond herself.
M - Makhleb: Michael Jackson, keeps up the energy during taxing music and dance routines (healing mid combat so you don't need to rest), is a fan of sudden jerky moves (destructions), has lots of backup dancers (servants) that sometimes stand/dance in front of him rather than behind (chance of spawning hostile), is evil (one of the evil gods).
N - Nemelex Xobeh: Jim Broadbent, a kindly old man who trades powerful magics he doesn't care about anymore, in exchange for taking him sight-seeing. Gets a little weary every time you ask him to arrange that crap. Brad Pitt better suits Old Nemelex, who appreciated nice items, and kept an eye on you, and wanted to see you have fun and live a little, and ensured you took life-altering risk.
O - Okawaru: Christian Bale, good at playing solemn warriors focused on gadgets, skill and speed (weapons and armor, heroism and finesse) over brute power (Trog) although I acknowledge some asian gentleman might be better.
Q - Qazlal: Brian Blessed, because it's BRIAN BLESSED!
R - Ru: Laurence Fishburne, Mr. Morpheus himself is going to reveal to you the great annihilating truth.
Can jump across big gaps. S - Sif Muna: Benedict Cumberbatch, gives you all the tools you need, when you're ready (book gifts), expects you to figure out stuff for yourself but points out mistakes before you make a fool of yourself (miscast protection), is happy to see you become better at intellectual endeavors (piety for studying).
T - Trog: Adam Sandler, this one's easy: this creator and purveyor of thought-suppressing tripe (anti-magic) frequently berserks on film (berserk) and has his merry band of bad fellow actors (brothers in arms). See, Schwarzenegger doesn't fit because he doesn't actively hate magic or its equivalent. He also keeps his head and tends to fight alone. The only things that fit Schwarzenegger are shirtlessness (weapon gifts, but not armor) and action-hero resilience (Trog's hand).
V - Vehumet: Dwayne Johnson, (piety on kills), gives you access to special moves (spells), is big and can reach quite far (range), energizes upon victory (MP gain on kills), won't be disappointed in you unless you become neglectful (only time decays piety).
X - Xom: Tom Green, who is easily amused by randomness. In your face all the time. Just fucks around and giggles. Even if he makes you chuckle, it's not because he's good at being funny. A favorite joke is pretending to help you by giving you a shitty gift.
Y - Yredelemnul: Ian McKellen, plays two great ancient leaders/summoners that also have great abilities of their own (allies and mirror/drain respectively).
Z - Zin: Charlton Heston, completely embodies the archetypal authority figure, the ultimate proselytizer of right and wrong. Absolutely bristles with moral fiber. Is yet to be surpassed by any actor in this regard.
1 - the Shining One: Mel Gibson, good at playing a madly committed crusader, which is what TSO is, let's face it.
