So who plays you in "the movie" of your life? |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 01:52 PM by 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 . . .

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

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)

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

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

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!

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!

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!'.

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'.
