I have changed my mind. Mike Rowe or Charlie Sheen.

I don't take myself so seriously, or have done anything so remarkable that I would need a 'serious' sounding voice.
I think that Rowe or Sheen would bring the right amount of humor into it.

Charlize could probably do my distinct lack of accent (I've lived all over the place). I've been told I resemble Natalie, especially when we both had shaved heads.
