I have a copy of this in a box somewhere.
The Central Casting series definitely are skewed towards producing !ADVENTURERS!, which is perfect. Heroes Now! also has GURPS rules in it, although they're 3e and mostly just for selecting skills, and really should be interpreted artistically anyways.

Something to watch out for is that the Central Casting books (at least earlier printings, don't know about reprints) are artifacts of the culture of their era, and the author at the time had some very firm Opinions. They include a screed in the introduction that sets those Opinions down which I'd recommend reading just so you understand where the book stands and don't stumble face-first into it.
