Modeling an NPC or game scenario personality using real-life or movie
roles 
is an okay thing. I balk however, at the shorth-hand involved in saying
"like 
Sean Connery in Outland".  Seems to me to be a less than optimal way to 
describe what the Player Character sees, feels, experiences, from the
world 
which, however inadequately we might describe, ideally should have the
same 
vibrancy as real life.
My two cents worth . . .
