Who would play you if your life was a movie?

[WinterParkDonkey]

If you life was made into a MAJOR FEATURE FILM!!!! (let's really dream here folks) who would play you, significant other, husband, wife, kids, boss, enemies? --Can even be people that have already passed on. For me, I would have either Jane Russell or Maureen O'Hara play me. I have (okay had Jane's body at one time) and I fence - I got interested in it from watching Maureen in all those old pirate movies.

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. Shelley Winters.

[nolabear]

2. Me, Gina Davis.

I love the height, the smarts, the lips, the overbite and I hear she can shoot an apple off your head with a bow.

What's not to love?

[struggle4progress]

3. The Hollywood version of my life won't be very accurate anyway,

and the best I can hope for is that I might get to serve as a consultant for the film. So, what the hell, lets enjoy the artistic liberties! I figure five or six really hot actresses can play me at various stages of my life in the movie (glossing over a few facts, like that I'm a guy and didn't really solve Einstein's field equations in sixth grade), so I can hang out on the set and talk to them between takes

[david13]

4. I'd play myself. It's what they call type casting. dc

[Dr Morbius]

5. Peter Sellers.

He had the tragicomedic range.

It should be noted that a film of my life would be quite boring. I'd walk out after twenty minutes myself.

[Forkboy]

6. Daffy Duck

[madinmaryland]

21. I am definitely not the Road Runner. More like Wile E Coyote or Kenny.

:shrug:

[flvegan]

7. Bill Goldberg.

Because in my movie I want to be tall, and I want to be sure nobody bothers to see it.

[Skittles]

8. Amy Madigan

[abq e streeter]

9. Apparently it's already been done and it was John Cusack

Several years ago ,a friend of mine ( a Rabbi and musician) told me I HAD to see High Fidelity; that it totally reminded him of me . So I went to see it, and damned if it wasn't about a going-nowhere, rock and roll obsessed loser from Chicago with a string of screwed-up relationships with women who obsesses about about how and why they got screwed up. Not to mention Bruce Springsteen makes an appearance too. And if that wasn't enough, not only did my Rabbi friend and I attend the same high school near Chicago ( several years apart and did not know each other there) before both ending up in Albuquerque, but neither of us knew, at the time that he said I "had" to see it, that Cusack ALSO went to our high school ( graduated 3 years after Joe). I found that out by complete accident in the 2 weeks between when Joe told me about it, and when I went to see it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. Buddy Hackett

[Burma Jones]

11. John Goodman would play me......

My Wife would be played by Tina Fey (they even share the same DoB)


My best friend from High School would be played by Andre Braugher
My best friend from college would be played by Steve Zahn


The worst Boss I've ever known would be played by Daniel Von Bargen

[foxfeet]

16. I went to college with Daniel Von Bargen.

Really nice guy and I'm glad he's found some success in the movie biz.

[mitchum]

12. Boris Karloff

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. Brad Pitt...

.
.
.
.
.

.

...but he'd have to prep for the role with about 30 years of debauchery...
.
.
.
.

...and they might have to use a butt double.
.
.
.
.
No, I did NOT say "double butt".
.

[Crystal Clarity]

14. Nobody would want the role :(

Just kidding :P

[Ikonoklast]

15. Paul Giamatti.

I think he's the premier character actor of our time.





And I'm a character, all right.

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. Who would make a film about me? I'm too uncomfortable for most folks.

[Lilith Velkor]

18. Christina Ricci

Significant other: Ed Norton

Husband: Sam Witwer

Wife: Gillian Anderson

(Hey, you didn't say I had to be monogamous!)

Kids: Don't have 'em, but Kiera Knightley could be my long forgotten bastard daughter come to seek revenge, if the script goes there

Boss: Don't have one of those, either, but I used to work for a guy who kinda looks like Val Kilmer, so yeah

Enemies: Hmm, I guess I'll go with Eric Bana as my superdouche ex, and Allison Mack as my evil sister.

And definitely Judi Dench and Ian McDiarmid as my parents.

(Can you tell I have given this topic a little too much thought?)

[Old Troop]

19. I'd be played by a washed-up, discredited actor

[petronius]

20. Who was that guy who played Gollum? He'd be a natural...

[Wapsie B]

22. Philip Seymour Hoffman

[SoxFan]

23. Philip Seymour Hoffman as SoxFan

[Swede]

24. Dean Martin.

[Arugula Latte]

25. Julia Roberts

We're of a similar age, and we have some resemblances (she's much prettier, of course).

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Somebody really desperate for an acting gig

who couldn't get hired for Ex-Lax commercials, and she'd look like a cross between Phyllis Diller and Kathy Bates, but homelier.

[cherokeeprogressive]

27. Kurt Russell

He was in a bomb in the 80's called "Overboard" with Goldie and I've been told a hundred times by friends and strangers that I remind them of him in that movie.

[Tobin S.]

28. It would have to be someone who is really crazy

Maybe Gary Bussy or Nick Nolte. I don't look like either one of them, but I think they do insane, drug addicted, alcoholics pretty good. :D

[Brother Buzz]

29. Jack Nicholson

The Gloria Winters from my youth would be the squeeze for me

[MilesColtrane]

30. Stephen Root

[Iggo]

31. Charlize Theron. (n/t)

[BlueIris]

32. Toss up between Claire Danes and Jennifer Love Hewitt. But if it really were a good studio film,

they'd probably go with Claire.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

33. Schwarzenegger.

There really is no other choice, if you want to go for accuracy.

[DevonRex]

34. Me - Michelle Pfeiffer (sp). Husband - Johnny Depp. nt

[jobycom]

35. Tom Hanks, but he'd have to shave his head.

It would take someone with that wide a range and goofy sense of humor to even make it through my life's script.

Edit: Nicole Kidman would play my wife. Not the ex-wife, just a future one. I have hopes, anyway.

[BarenakedLady]

36. Alicia Silverstone

Not that I look like her or anything, I just think she's personally alot like me.

[Tailormyst]

37. Roseanne Barr

[proteus_lives]

38. Young Tom Hanks or Colin Hanks.

[dana_b]

39. Janene Garofolo

attractive brunette with a biting sense of humor. Oh - and a big liberal!

[dawg]

40. Brad Pitt with hair dyed brown.

Don't laugh. He's older than me. But that is only if they wanted to sex-up my character a little. Don't they usually pick an actor who is at least a little better looking than the character he plays?

If they were going for greater accuracy in looks, then Sean Astin. (Although, I think I'm a little taller and cuter than him.)

If they are going on how I feel inside - Abe Vigoda, all the way!

[AngryAmish]

41. Alf, without the humor.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

42. Sandra Bullock --

Cute, girl next door, deeply goofy, into Keanu Reeves -- yup, that'd be about right.
