I was reading Pillars of the Earth and in my head Prior Phillip had small wire glasses. Unfortunately the book takes place about 100 years before glasses were invented. Didn’t stop my image of him that way though!
Same with voices or sometimes even physical characteristics. I do try to stay true to the book’s description though. Sometimes the actors work just as well for books too. When I read Song of Ice and Fire having the Games of Thrones actors in my mind actually helped in some ways I think. Totally depends!

Yes, sometimes I take artistic liberties with their look as well.
But to be fair, sometimes I only get their looks wrong because the authors don't mention a detail until chapters in, like mentioning a characters hair or eye color off hand, and I'm like "it's too late to change it now"
