Long Live the Confederation!
Again, it should be pretty obvious that this is a photo from the set and not a frame from the movie. But it did get me thinking about Tchéky Karyo headshots...
This picture shows up as a lobby card and in other promotional material... but it turns out it's NOT the same as the headshot that's used in the movie!
But here's some neat continuity: that in universe one DOES match the photo in the Confederation Handbook for Paladin's psychological profile.
I also checked the archive of the movie's official site, which had this little bit of lore we've saved all these years. A third photo!
... but here's another great touch: the signature on the letter at the movie site matches the one used for a letter he authored in the Handbook! Now THAT is attention to detail.
On a separate note, Mr. Karyo was born in Turkey, which suffered a terrible earthquake this week. You can help donate to relief efforts in Turkey and Syria here.
