Fan Casting Simon Snow in Carry On

Simon Snow is the leading protagonist of both Carry On (by Rainbow Rowell) and the (fictional) Simon Snow series, by Gemma T. Leslie. He's a young mage with incredible magical power, though he is unable to control it properly, which often results in a large, unintended outburst of energy referred to by the characters as him "going off." His roommate, Baz Pitch, says that he is, "The worst Chosen One that has ever been chosen." He loves sour cherry scones and the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. Simon is described as having bronze curly hair. His hair is cut short on the sides of his head and longer on the top. However, in Wayward Son, he lets it grow out. He has blue eyes, and is said to have some moles on his face. In a description on Simon, Baz says that he has "three moles on his right cheek, two underneath his left ear, one over his left eye, and then some". He stands at 5'10" (180 centimeters) tall. He is at least three inches shorter than Baz.
