ANGEL'S ALLEY TIDBITS-Character inspirations-Johnny

Ok. So I started with Character Inspirations just because I couldn't get Chachi out of my head(confused? check this) But then I thought it might be cool to put up other pictures that have been dancing around up there. And as I started with Nick, the logical move is to put up Johnny!

Johnny Moreno
The reason why Johnny is the logical choice after Nick goes back to my Silver Screen DEK kick. Brother, was that an OBSESSION. All those movies had Leo Gorcey(see link above) and Bobby Jordan as protagonists.
Johnny was very much an incarnation of Bobby Jordan. Sweet, naive, absolutely adorable. Sure, he had bite, but it wasn't as hard as Nick's. A lot of the things that happen to Johnny tie in to the events that occur in the lives of the characters Bobby Jordan tended to play. Also, Johnny kind of looks like him, at least in my head:

Hearing Bobby's voice in my head while I was writing Johnny was so cool, because I didn't have to worry about how it sounded. I was so familiar with him I knew exactly! As with Nick, I present as a final tidbit, his sketch.
