Netflix's dark comedy "A Series of Unfortunate Events"— about a trio of orphans trying to escape the clutches of an evil failed actor who wants to steal their family fortune — is full of clever sleights of hand and outrageous outfits. The costume and set design create a world that's foreboding, a word which here means full of fear that something bad will happen at any moment. It takes a talented cast to pull it all together.
Led by three relative newcomers playing the Baudelaire orphans, Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf, and Patrick Warburton as authorial stand-in Lemony Snicket, much of the cast looks very different in the show compared to real life.
Here's what the cast of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" looks like in real life.
Lemony Snicket is the pen name for Daniel Handler, who wrote the books the show is based on.
In the show, he narrates the series.
He's played by Patrick Warburton.
Warburton's deep voice, capable of switching tones between funny and serious in an instant, is unmistakable. Though Handler himself does have at least one cameo in the series.
Violet Baudelaire is the eldest of the Baudelaire siblings.
She has a knack for inventing mechanical devices that get the orphans out of whatever predicament they're in.
