So who plays you in "the movie" of your life?

[Devil Dog Dem]

That is, if they made a movie about you, what actor (living or dead) would you like to play you?

For me, it's Steve McQueen circa late 60s-early 70s (when he made Bullitt and The Getaway).

On edit: Some friends say John Cusack should play me, which would fit my more comedic moments. But if I had to pick: no way you can beat Steve McQueen for coolness, toughness, and having a way with the ladies. No way. Some where tougher (John Wayne), some maybe cooler (Bogart), some where better with the ladies (Cary Grant) but nobody was as tough, as cool, and as much a lover as Steve McQueen.

Now if only I had just 1/2 of even one of those attributes . . .

[Connie_Corleone]

1. Talia Shire

In real life (Halle Berry). But she needs to take more acting lessons.

[Worst Username Ever]

2. Nick Cage

plays me, lots of arm movement as he talks.

[veteran_for_peace]

3. Matthew Broderick

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Kevin Smith

With lifts in his shoes ;)

[nickinSTL]

12. not a huge fan of Smith, he's ok

But if we're going on how much they look like us...Smith is about as close to me as Hollywood ever gets.

(and for me, it'd be without the lifts :D)

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. Yeah, I'm going on looks, not acting caliber

Actually, Penn Gillette with a buzzed head and goatee would be a more accurate likeness.

[eyesroll]

5. Linda Cardellini.

She played my 16-year-old self in "Freaks and Geeks" as it was.

[Beware the Beast Man]

17. mmmmm...Velma.....jinkies....

[getoffmytrain]

6. Brad Pitt, obviously....

7. Victor Mature

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. The reanimated corpse of Victor Mature?

I'd pay to see that one!

[Dirty Hippie]

8. Kathy Bates

[SarahB]

10. I'll still go with Kate Winslet.

Maybe Renee Zellweger in her more voluptuous Bridget Jones incarnations. :shrug:

[HEyHEY]

11. CLint eastwood!

Although Jason Alexander would be able to d me better

[AVID]

13. vince vaughn

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

[arwalden]

[alittlelark]

19. Goldie Hawn

[ceile]

21. Sarah Michelle Gellar

[helnwhls]

24. stockard channing

over a few king cobra's my senior year, this was decided by my friends who will be played by young jimmy stewart and john malkovich. the name of the movie was going to be "the dorm that dripped blood"

[maveric]

26. Steve Buscemi

I look a very little like him but his tragic character roles seem to go along with my life.

[RaleighNCDUer]

27. Dustin Hoffman, for my younger years.

Many years ago I bore a distinct resemblance to 'Ratso'.

[JimmyJazz]

28. Jeanne Garofalo....'nuff said

[daddybear]

29. Kenny Rogers

cause I look like him and he is a good man... like me <g>.

[disgruntled_goat]

30. james spader

circa Stargate (the movie)

[underpants]

31. Young years -Mark Hamill ------Now- Christopher MacDonald

or so I am told. :shrug:

[Squeech]

32. Robin Williams

As in Moscow on the Hudson or, in my less rational moments, The Fisher King. (Not as in Patch Adams.)

[qnr]

33. Dustin Hoffman

[Amaya]

34. Cate Blanchett

Some have said I have her nose.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

35. Liam Neeson circa "Darkman"

or anyone else tall, 30ish, with a big nose.

[arwalden]

38. My Husband Is Liam Neeson's Younger "Twin" Brother

yummy!!

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

41. I'm not trying to boast...

My girlfriend thought I looked like him when she first saw me (I was her TA... naughty naughty....)

[arwalden]

43. Grrrwoof!

That's definitely one look that I find to be very attractive.

-- Allen

[ismnotwasm]

36. Bette Davis

Spoke her mind and didn't take no shit.

[Rowdyboy]

37. Weird Al Yankovick

[arwalden]

40. Really?

I imagined it might be Cary Grant.

-- Allen

[clover]

39. william powell

in re-animated zombie form

[arwalden]

45. I Love William Powell Movies

... he's one of my all-time favorites!

-- Allen

Are you the clean-shaven Powell, or the full mustache Powell, or the pencil-thin mustache version?

[clover]

48. i've tried them all, and

damn, is that pencil-thin look hard to achieve and maintain: i just don't have the panache & courage to use liquid eyeliner above my lip like old bill did.

you know, he lived to be 100!

[CO Liberal]

42. Carrot Top

He has the correct hair color...

[terrya]

50. I think that's not a bad choice. I can't get anyone else to agree with me.

that Carrot Top is sexy. :-)

[CO Liberal]

53. If You Saw Pictures of Me in High School.....

...you'd say, "Yep - Carrot Top".

That was even one of my nicknames growing up - the curse of bright red, Howdy Doody hair....

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. soleft.

:hi:

[Streetdoc270]

46. James Gandilofini

Good resemblance

[terrya]

47. Edward Norton plays me.

Well, I wish. He's good looking and a good actor. I'd like him to play me.

[GiovanniC]

49. I Don't Know if You Can Merge Josh, Sam, and Toby From The West Wing

Into one person, but if you could, that would be a pretty good facsimile of me. Except my job isn't as cool as theirs.

[skygazer]

51. Angelina Jolie

I like her attitude - I've got a tough edge but a soft inside and she can do that.

Plus, she'd make me look great!

[greatauntoftriplets]

52. Meryl Streep....

...in a high-comedy role, of course.

[Aristus]

54. Right now, Matthew Perry. My wife says I'm an "adorable nerd", and

he's good at playing those.

When I get up over fifty, Richard Schiff, cuz when I hear Toby on WW speaking, I think: 'That's ME!'.

[bookfreak]

55. Kate Winslet

Not that a movie would ever be made of my life...talk about the most boring subject matter on Earth! (at least at the present)

Still though, if a movie were to be made, Kate would be my choice. She has class, strength, presence and beauty, all without being a 'barbie doll'.
