Figuring out some actors, well, actresses...

I'm trying to put together screencaps of individual actors in individual roles for the movie's entry on Aveleyman, and I'm having difficulty with some characters, specifically the nuns, Brooklyn girls, and Goombas.
Can someone match up the individual actors and actresses' names to their onscreen appearance? Or, more specifically:
1. Which actress played which Brooklyn girl? The only one I have any clue about is Andrea Powell who I think is the one with the cigarette.
2. There are five actresses credited as playing nuns. However only three appear clearly onscreen in closeups. I have no idea which of the five credited actresses they are.
3. Which credited Goomba actor played which individual Goomba? I.e., the one guarding the Brooklyn girls, the one who goes "Ten hut!", the one who chokes out Luigi, etc.

Interesting project. Should be a great resource in the future!
I can't help you with the nuns since we really don't know anything about their actresses or the Goombas since there really weren't "main" Goombas whom had the same actor every time. You can read our interview with
Mark Jeffrey Miller and Mike Harding, though, as well as
Scott Mactavish to see if there's any information you can pull.
1. Which actress played which Brooklyn girl? The only one I have any clue about is Andrea Powell who I think is the one with the cigarette.
Yes, Andrea Powell was the cigarette smoking "Brooklyn Girl." Desiree Marie Velez was "Angelica," while Melanie Salvatore was the exercising Brooklyn Girl in spandex and Heather Pendergast was the shy-looking girl in a dress.

Thanks, I sort of figured this was the case with the Brooklyn girls, but was uncertain and wished to double check. I'll be sure and post a link to the page once it's done.

As far as I know, Frank Welker from the "Transformers" cartoons and movies voiced all the Goombas.

http://www.aveleyman.com/FilmCredit.aspx?FilmID=18673Missing the nuns and Scapelli bodyguards for the moment as despite being credited I cannot narrow down which credited actor portrayed which of them.

Pretty good, except that Ronnie Jay Leipold was the "Crazed Lunatic" (a character I believe cut from the film). The Devo Technician whose picture you've provided was portrayed by
Jeffrey Pillars. His character was also known as "Wart" in the scripts and storyboards.

Apparently I accidentally conflated Leipold's name with that of Alan McCoy's. Hmm, so am I correct in understanding Pillars plays the heavyset second technician and McCoy plays the gaunt first one?
I've contacted the webmaster and he should swap the pictures and change the name of the second actor accordingly.

^Not sure about the others, but the heavy-set technician is most certainly Jeff Pillars.

Alan McCoy is the skinny technician who is de-evolved in the cut scene. Kevin West is the balding, tall guy in the necklace who controls the devo console. Hope that helps!

Thanks you guys. I'm still waiting on the owner to change it, and I'm a little embarrassed by the mistake, but otherwise I hope the page looks well put together. Screencapping was fun and I hope I got decent shots.

Glad to help. Also, we recently got in touch with one of the nun actresses, so we may be able to help you in that area as well.

That would be awesome. Also the site owner corrected it, so now Jeffrey Pillars is correctly credited as the heavyset technician and Alan McCoy is the thin one.
