Afternoon silliness.
Which famous actor would you want to play you in a film of your life?

Mine would be Kathy Burke. She's plain and very funny but with a certain special quality you can't help warm to.

Sid James or Dolph Lungren

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 14:17, Reply)

I'm hedging my bet on Sid James.

I would want Katharine Isobel
from Ginger Snaps because she's like a hot version of me, so if she played me people might think that's what I actually look like. And if the film is of my life I'm probably dead, in which case no one will remember what I really look like.

both
my life is actually what Ginger Snaps was based on, so job done.

I was right, she's become quite lovely

She's quite attractive
If you look like her then you're doing well. How's your corset?

Louise Brooks for younger
And Julie Walters for older.

Brad Pitt.
He is the only one who comes even close to accurately portray my beauty.

I've been told - quite insistently by someone, in fact -
that I bore a resemblance to Emile Hirsch. Personally I can't see it myself. And I've no idea what he's been in, so I don't know whether he's any good as an actor.

I think most other people would agree if I were to suggest Hugh Laurie reprising his Prince George accent and popping a long wig on.

Frances McDormand.
It'll be some kind of Coen Brothers movie containing moderate levels of implausible violence.

Jeff Bridges looked about right in big lebowski
he's getting on a bit though, so probably no good.

Probably Tyler Labine the guy who played Sock in Reaper

I was going to ask this the other week, but forgot
I've got a variation:

Who would it be if YOU were casting director and
Who would it be if it was a proper casting director

My choice: John Lynch
Proper choice: David Gest

Aaaaagh
