For this role, the actor should appear 19-20 years old. Heathcliff is described as having dark eyes and hair, a tall figure, and a dark complexion. The original text describes Heathcliff as a "dark-skinned gipsy" and "a little Lascar", which was a 19th-century term for Indian sailors. However, some say that Heathcliff could have been Black or of mixed race, given the historical context of the novel's time period. Especially in his later years, he is very brooding, mysterious, and intense.
