Elle Dallas


Elle Dallas
A star tuned junkie, Elle Dallas is presented as a soulful Amy Winehouse type (if she lived) who was once on top of the world but has succumbed to her demons of addiction. As of this writing, she has yet to overcome them despite the attention and encouragement of Cookie Lyon.


Dallas is played by Courtney Love, which for whatever is worth is about as perfect casting as you can get. Is that worth a vote?

            


The Bullet Points:

TV Show Appeared:
Empire (2015-)

Actor:
Courtney Love

Songs you might remember:
Walk Out On Me

Why you should vote for her:
She was presented as a star at one point, and say what you want about Courtney Love…she is not a bad actress.

Why you should not vote for her:
She was never the focal point of the show.



Das Sound Machine

Das Sound Machine
What is needed when you win a competition? You need to have to go international to take on the Germans of course!


Okay, that is a little simplistic, but how often has the trope of beating “evil” foreigners been done in sequels? In Pitch Perfect 2, that is exactly what happens with the Barden Bellas as they represent their country to go against Das Sound Machine, the German winners of their national a capella competition.

Do the Germans win? Of course not! However they were delightfully evil and what else do you need from antagonists?



            
The Bullet Points:

Movie Appeared:
Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)

Actors:
Birgitte Hjort Sorensen (Kommisar)
Flula Borg (Pieter Kramer)

Songs you might remember:
Multiple

Why you should vote for them:
Can we say because they are German?

Why you should not vote for him:
Until the Bellas get in, there is no reason to think of them.



Casey Lynch

Casey Lynch
A goddess of rock in the world of Guitar Hero, hard rocking female star, Casey Lynch is as tough as she is sexy. If Guitar Hero generates a possible inductee could it be her?




The Bullet Points:

Video Game Appeared:
Guitar Hero

Actor:
N/A

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for her:
This character was “played” more than most of the fictional rock stars have been watched on screen.

Why you should not vote for him:
Have we reached the stage where we want to induct video game characters?



Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters
This is about as meta as it gets. From “That Thing You Do!” we have a fictional band (The Wonders) that played a fictional band in an early 1960’s surf movie. It fits our bill twofold, but shouldn’t the Wonders get in first?




The Bullet Points:

Movie Appeared:
That Thing You Do (1996)

Actors:
Tom Everett Scott (Guy “Shades” Patterson, Drums)
Johnathon Schaech (James “Jimmy” Mattingly II, Guitar and Lead Vocals)
Steve Zahn (Leonard “Lenny” Haise, Guitar and Backing Vocals)
Ethan Embry (T.B. Player, Bass and Backing Vocals)
Larry Antonino (Scott “Wolfman” Pell, Guitar)

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for them:
This might be the ultimate meta inductee.

Why you should not vote for them:
Until the Wonders get in, this should not be considered.
