If a movie were made of your life..what actor/actress would you like to play you?

[MichiganVote]

This is a question I was asked this week and I couldn't answer.

[Left Is Write]

1. Ashley Judd.

[MichiganVote]

2. She is classy

[Burma Jones]

3. Johnny Depp

although the late John Belushi would have been more appropriate

[MichiganVote]

11. I love them both. Dark, handsome and very funny

[AlCzervik]

4. a younger Valarie Harper.

i've been told more than a few times i look and sound exactly like Rhoda Morgenstern, i don't think i look like her but sound like, yes indeed.

[MichiganVote]

12. She was very funny and I always thought she was pretty

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Susan Sarandon or Sigourney Weaver.

But Wilford Brimley would be more true to life.

[Left Is Write]

6. Wilford has already accepted the role in Rabrrrrrr's life story.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. I thought Christopher Walken was doing Rabrrrrrr.

[Left Is Write]

14. Christopher Walken starring as Rabrrrrrr starring as The Continental.

[MichiganVote]

13. Strong women

[Cobalt Violet]

7. Ken Watanabe

[MichiganVote]

16. Definitely very sexy

[Pierre.Suave]

8. James Bond...

jk.

[MichiganVote]

17. All of them?

[Pierre.Suave]

18. lol

apparently you missed my point.

[MichiganVote]

20. Probably...I'm on autopilot tonight :)

[Shakespeare]

10. A slightly younger Michelle Pfeiffer. n/t

[MichiganVote]

15. I think that woman could be ninety and still be a beauty

[Deja Q]

19. Paul Lynde

[MichiganVote]

21. Now that was a creative guy. But why him?

[Deja Q]

51. Half the time he reminds me of me...

Same humor, sensibilities, comedic style, suaveness, his one-liners...

The other half the time it's Robin Williams...

Then the third half of the time it's gotta be Patrick Troughton...

[MichiganVote]

77. I adore most of the impromptu work of Williams. Very smart guys.

[Broken_Hero]

22. Abraham Benrubi...

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0072344/

Or John Goodman...or, perhaps Vincent Di'onfrio....

[MichiganVote]

45. John Goodman just kills me...I always look forward to his roles

[Broken_Hero]

72. I'm a big man, and

my stature has fluctuated between all three actors sizes/builds, basically....I would say John Candy, but he is dead, rest his soul. His role in Uncle Buck was akin to my own lifestyle(while I was younger that is!) .

[MichiganVote]

76. I must like the bad boys..all these guys just crack me up

[Dervill Crow]

116. Vincent D'onofrio is one of my crushes.

My kids find that embarrassing. :eyes:

[Generic Brad]

23. Name some fat middle aged white male actors

I need some help narrowing it down.

[Broken_Hero]

25. Kevin Pollack

Kevin Spacey....:shrug:

[Generic Brad]

29. Not fat enough

Those guys are too trim to play me. I guess someone's going to have to wear a fat suit. I choose Brad Pitt.

[ForrestGump]

24. John Cusack, maybe

As me at this age, anyway. I think we're around the same age -- not sure -- but a degree of resemblance between us has been remarked upon more than once, starting with when I had no idea who the dude was. And now I can actually see it, and the parts he sometimes plays would make him a decent fit to me, too.


I mean, it could be a worse approximation.

Richard Gere, too, as far as looks go (I used to resemble him to an extent, anyway) but not really in any roles I can think of.

Kurt Russell wouldn't be a bad choice, either, not in looks (though he was a great Elvis) but in some of the roles he's played. But not, much as I love him, as Jack Burton... :D

And George Clooney, perhaps, though I look nothing like him (I wouldn't mind looking like him, though). :-)

Here I was, thinking that none of the actors I could think of look like me or have roles that approximate my character and now I'm coming up with all sorts. I'd better stop this before I list Pauly Shore...

[MichiganVote]

44. :)

[NewWaveChick1981]

52. Ya know. I've had a crush on John Cusack ever since I first saw him in a movie

around 1981. :9 :hi: :loveya:

[ForrestGump]

117. 1981

was a good year...

[BarenakedLady]

26. Reese Witherspoon

She's got my witch's chin. She'd have to drop the Southern accent for a more generic and RI one (for the earlier years) though.

[SPKrazy]

31. Reese Is My Favorite Something

actress, starlet, something or other


I've always thought she was wonderful.
She'd make a great BNL

[Robeson]

27. Robert Redford

[MichiganVote]

46. You have good taste

[Drum]

28. Helena Bonham Carter.

I'm a guy, but I love her and would be fascinated to see her act the role of "me" in a film.

:shrug:

[MichiganVote]

48. I think she is very alluring too. Actually a guy role would probably be a good choice for her

[Starbucks Anarchist]

73. You know, you kind of remind me of Rob Lowe.

:hi:

[Drum]

75. Thanks Starbucks Anarchist!

I used to hear that all through my college years. If we were going for realism in my life-story, he'd be a good pick, though I'd also be honored with the casting of Willem Dafoe or Keanu.

:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

79. I could see Dafoe or Keanu.

I don't know who'd play me, though. :P

[Drum]

80. A holographic younger incarnation of George Clooney?

Will ponder this....

:)

[BarenakedLady]

91. I did that

My highest match was Sophia Loren....:rofl: Yeah, right! I wish. I knew Kiera Sedgwick and Reese Witherspoon would show up too.

[BlueIris]

30. I think my beloved Reese Witherspoon would be good.

Either she or Julia Styles would work. Kirsten Dunst, who looks exactly--exactly--like my little sister could be in it, too.

[reyd reid reed]

32. I dunno...

I kinda think Beverly D'Angelo. Maybe.

Beats the hell outta me.

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. Oooo!

[WCGreen]

34. I think Courtney Love would give a soulfull presentation of

my life....

[Broken_Hero]

35. ...........

:spray: That was the last name, I expected you to say....:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. Can't remember his name

The dude who was on "Quantum Leap."



No, the other one.

[BarenakedLady]

56. Dean Stockwell?

[Oeditpus Rex]

69. No, the other one

"Oh, boy."

:shrug:

[BarenakedLady]

89. Well I ASSumed since you said

No the other one, that you didn't mean Scott Bakula, he being the main character and all. I was wondering why you would think Dean Stockwell would be good to play you.

[Oeditpus Rex]

I didn't

I meant the Other one. :shrug:

[lizziegrace]

71. Scott Bakula?

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

74. Yeah, him

I had to google it to make sure. :crazy:



Jay, tell lizziegrace what she's won!



Right you are, Bob!

[billyskank]

136. and that other show

that shall not be mentioned. ;)

[haf216]

37. Helen Hunt

I have said she is the only person I would pay to look like. I doubt she would take the part thought, too boring, nothing for her to work with.

[northofdenali]

38. My daughter SWEARS

I not only look like, but AM like Susan Sarandon.

Actually, I'm flattered. Not often your kid (even if she is 25) "gets it".

[MichiganVote]

49. My friend said she would like Susan S. to play her too

[Writer]

39. Angelina Jolie.

She was born just two days after me in the same year, and she is precisely my height.

Writer the Lurker.

[OllieLotte]

40. Rodney Dangerfield. n/t

[OllieLotte]

41. Ohhh...you meant someone that doesn't remotely resemble me?

I was going for accuracy on the Rodney Dangerfield thing. In that case, Paul Newman.

[MichiganVote]

43. Nope, didn't have anything in particular in mind. Just who you'd want to play you.

[VenusRising]

42. I'm going to go with Angelina Jolie.

I don't know anyone who can pull off the range of personality that I have sometimes.

[Frank Cannon]

47. If it were about a younger me, Tom Welling

A lot of people tell me he looks just like me in my youth.

If it were about my whole life, Christian Bale.

[SacredCow]

50. John Malkovich

or if it's a comedy, Matthew Broderick

[NC_Nurse]

53. Meryl Streep.

[MichiganVote]

59. My favorite actress....

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

54. Brendan Fraser

He'd be good to play the 1997 me. From there on, he'd have to put on some weight.

[BOSSHOG]

55. Sean Connery

[Rhythm]

57. i dunno. i can't think of any fat, dykey, funny caucasian actresses...

that are 40ish...

ideas?!

[MichiganVote]

60. Rosie O'Donnel? I like her, she's great!

[Rhythm]

130. i don't know why i didn't think of her to start with...

yeah... she'd work... she's hysterical, and sort of looks like me anyway. *L*

[bertha katzenengel]

58. Kathy Bates

She is fabulous.

[MichiganVote]

61. I agree. One of the very best.

[auntAgonist]

62. Susan Sarandon n/t

[MichiganVote]

66. I can't think of a single thing wrong with that actress.

[lizziegrace]

67. aA

she'd be perfect. I can't come up with anyone to play me. :shrug:

[QMPMom]

63. Rosie O'Donnell. There's a bit of a physical resemblance

and I like her humor and stand on things. My son has said for years that Rosie would be his pick to play me in a movie.

[MichiganVote]

65. I like Rosie. She wouldn't fit me tho'.

[BreweryYardRat]

64. Daniel Radcliffe.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

68. Bart the Bear

[MichiganVote]

100. Honey..oh honey, the halitosis alone will win you roles :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

112. He may not be female; but he hibernates just like me.

:)

[MichiganVote]

113. Needs a shower and a shave :)

[idgiehkt]

70. maybe Natalie Portman?

I don't know...or Mena Suvari? They are both kind of soft-spoken like I am, both that have that 'sweet, innocent look' that I'm always told (to my chagrin) that I have. For the older me I have no idea, but I wouldn't object to Diane Lane.

[censorshipsux]

78. Charlie Sheen

[MichiganVote]

82. I always thought Charlie's eye intensity was his best feature

[idgiehkt]

84. yes, from the very beginniing, in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

just those few minutes he spent on camera in that film pretty much made that movie for me. I was so young I didn't even understand the effect it had on me, just exactly what I was feeling or why, but it was intense to say the least.

[graywarrior]

81. Johnny Depp.

Go figure.

[MichiganVote]

83. Versatile, resourceful and altogether cool

[graywarrior]

86. And he could play a versatile, resourceful and not altogether woman.

like moi.

[MichiganVote]

90. He likes to surprise his audience

[YDogg]

85. Morgan Freeman. Or Morganna the Kissing Bandit.

[MichiganVote]

92. Morgan's voice is amazing

[YDogg]

96. I admire his work

[MichiganVote]

97. Me too. A gentleman through and through...

[dysfunctional press]

87. christopher walken

nt

[MichiganVote]

93. The blue eyes have it

[Richard Steele]

88. I've always thought Judd Nelson would be the guy for that role.

Not that he LOOKS much like me, but I think he'd do
a great job PLAYING me.

[RevolutionaryActs]

94. Drew Barrymore

I believe she could capture my spastic-ness perfectly. Plus we kind of talk alike, so that's a plus. :P

[MichiganVote]

98. If she were brunette I could see her for me too

[Darth_Kitten]

95. Honey, she hasn't been BORN yet......

;)

I believe I can thank the late Lana Turner for this line. :)

[MichiganVote]

99. :) Well when I was asked by my friend who I woould choose to play me

I said about the same thing. Such a mishmash of periods, personalities, life events and things. My friend described me as small, dark haired and intense. Certainly not your Golden Globe type!

[Darth_Kitten]

101. Hey, you are unique.....

:)

I'm small, medium-haired and intense. ;)

[MichiganVote]

105. :) Well there you go...you'll have to play me and vice versa!

[MassLiberal]

102. Glenn Close

[MichiganVote]

106. I liked her best in The Big Chill

[MassLiberal]

109. me too

[NDN_Liberal]

103. Peter Sellers or Sean Connery

I know, two totally opposites.
But maybe that says something about me, kinda weird.

[MichiganVote]

107. Aren't they both British?

[NDN_Liberal]

132. Yes

but i'm NDN. Which in a way is the exact opposite. Again weird.

[MichiganVote]

139. Welcome to DU whatever you are!

[NDN_Liberal]

144. Thanks, I Guess :)

[edbermac]

104. Rondo Hatton

[MichiganVote]

108. "The Creeper". Zappa liked him.

[terrya]

110. I guess William H. Macy

He's a good actor.

[MichiganVote]

111. He has played so many diverse roles...I've always enjoyed his work

[maveric]

114. Probably Steve Buscemi.

Being an east coast neurotic and similar physical characteristics, he'd nail the role.

[bluethruandthru]

115. Jamie Lee Curtis

I was always told we looked alike when I was younger. She has my goofy, self-deprecating sense of humor.

[leeroysphitz]

118. Ed Asner.

[MichiganVote]

121. Awww....a sweetheart

[MichiganVote]

122. Oops! Dupe

[billyskank]

119. Ewan MacGregor

He'd have to do an english accent, but he can manage that.

[MichiganVote]

124. I love his name

[Cabcere]

120. I've been told I look like Julia Stiles

(albeit a much, much heavier version of her :blush: ), but I think I would want Reese Witherspoon to play me in a movie. :) I like her style, and I think she would do a good job of making me look a lot cooler, prettier, and nicer accurately portraying my personality. ;)

[MichiganVote]

123. I think she could use a good role to play...a really good script

[Meshuga]

125. Gilbert Gottfried

I don't look or sound like him but I don't think anybody would like to have Gilbert Gottfried play them in a movie. Poor little annoying guy!

[MichiganVote]

126. Isn't he the Aflac duck?

[Penndems]

127. Courtney Cox

n/t

[dysfunctional press]

128. billy bob thorton...or brad pitt.

it would HAVE to be somebody who has slept with angelie jolie.

[MichiganVote]

129. She is a hottie that's for sure!

[NewWaveChick1981]

131. Kate Winslet.

:hi:

[XemaSab]

133. Not that I think she looks much like me

but I'd pick Thora Birch. :P





edit: slightly better picture of Thora

[MichiganVote]

137. Who cares if she looks like you---those eyes are to die for

[AlCzervik]

140. i watched one of her movies last night, it was pretty good and she was

excellent in it.

[NNadir]

134. Godzilla. I don't know if he's still acting though.

[MichiganVote]

138. My son's lived on Godzilla all through elementary. Funny story...

Once we were passing through Chicago and our oldest son had learned there was a Godzilla conference with the japanese guys who had acted in the original films. So he begged us to take a detour to the hotel. So we show up, everybody is all Godzilla'd up but we had missed the original introductions. So I see the japanese guys sitting in a room drinking sake and ask them for autographs for our son. They were great, bowing, shaking my son's hand, giving autographs etc.

Last place on earth we ever expected to be.:-)

[ThatsMyBarack]

135. Moira Kelly

I've been told I look like her.

[MichiganVote]

142. So do I....back about 30 years ago that is :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

141. angelina jolie

[MichiganVote]

143. Jolie reminds me of a lioness, sort of stately, wonder if she'll eat Pitt :)
