Who Would Play You?
 
OK, let's say you've written your life story, or your life up until now, and a big Hollywood studio has decided it would make a great movie!
The only thing left to do is cast the actor that's going to play you. Of course you have some suggestions, but for some reason that actor is either not interested or unavailable. So they cast a lesser known actor.

The question is; who would be your first choice as to who plays you in your bio-pic? And who do you think would end up playing you if that actor/actress were unavailable?

Me?

I would say Ben Affleck would be my first choice. But, it would probably go to Lou-Diamond Phillips! :modest: :suspicious: :)

Easy.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The Silver Bullet 10-27-02 06:35 PM

Jack Black. Probably.

I'm no good at these things. Any other suggestions?

Steve 10-27-02 08:00 PM

Jude Law

LordSlaytan 10-27-02 08:38 PM

John Cusack would be my choice, but they would probably cast...

Chris Penn.

John Goodman :D

for me i have no real idea, Christopher Lambert (or Jackie) would be my first CHOICE but as for playing me realistically, probably some b-grade loser.

The Silver Bullet 10-27-02 10:13 PM

John Goodman?!

Naisy 10-27-02 10:19 PM

either i spelt that wrong OR your shocked, well he is a funny guy, if you take away a couple of kilo's you would look like him, only difference is he doesnt have the moral standard of Hitler :D

Holden Pike 10-27-02 11:54 PM

Not the right age of course, but from SB's photos I'd say he's much closer to Daniel Roebuck. Roebuck was one of the supporting Marshal's in The Fugitive (1993) and U.S. Marshals (1998) - you know, the guy who isn't Joe Pantoliano. He was also a co-star on "Nash Bridges" and "Matlock", plus he donned a phoney chin to play Jay Leno in the made-for-cable saga of Letterman vs. Leno for the "Tonight Show" gig in "The Late Shift" (1996). If you want to see him younger, check out River's Edge (1986), Project X (1997) and Dudes (1987).

Naisy 10-27-02 11:57 PM

:yup:

liam5000 10-28-02 02:29 AM

Who Would Play You?
 
I think the best person to play me is me.

But, if they wouldn't choose me, I'd like Rupert Grint (Harry Potter & The Sorcerers Stone: Ron Weasley) to play me.
All he needs to do is put on a few pounds & do an Australian accent (NOT OVER THE TOP LIKE STEVE IRWIN!!!!!)

HarroW 10-28-02 03:05 AM

I'm going to have to go with SB on this one and say Jack Black for myself...

Although for SB, i'm actually going to have to recommend this teenager on a crappy Australian soap called "Home and Away"... He plays a bible bashing high school student... If only I could think of the name... I'll post a picture when I can find one...

If there are any Aussies on here who can help me, then please do!

blibblobblib 10-29-02 02:10 PM

Seth Green to play me....without a doubt.
Kinda looks like me, what with the whole freckle thing and strange hair colours.
Plus he rules on so many levels :D

Jonny Goodboy 10-30-02 07:51 PM

I don`t know...whoever`s a cross breed between Matt Damon & Dolph Lundgren.:confused:

Take a gander (it`s about time I posted a pic anyway) Here! , for any :idea: `s.
Just ignore the Black puffy eye. ;)

Monkeypunch 10-30-02 11:36 PM

I would have to be played by Kevin Smith, because we look so similar, but I'd probably end up with Jack Black from Orange County.....:D (I do not, however, run around in only my drawers or take massive amounts of drugs.):laugh:

Naisy 10-31-02 07:30 PM

I really have no real idea who should/could/would play me!! i know who i want to be, but not who i want to be me, i am not a big casting man, thats what those agencies are for!

Yoda 10-31-02 10:44 PM

Not that it's all that interesting, but a friend of mine re-iterated my similarity to Joseph Gordon-Levitt again today. I decided to take it as a compliment.

Aniko 11-01-02 07:08 PM

As you should Yoda, he's a cutie. :yup:

First choice would be the country singer Pam Tillis, and give her acting lessons. I've been told, and my husband agrees, that I look like her.

Second choice, if that wasn't do'able, would be Diane Lane. I was going to write why, but my words became very....well... wordy so I'l leave it at this. ^^;;;

Gracie 11-01-02 08:28 PM

I think either the girl from Spy-Kids (Did you know she's a natural blonde?!?!), or Winoa Ryder.

Sexy Celebrity 11-03-02 04:39 AM

You're right. Everyone makes jokes about Dolly's big jollies.

Let's see.... how about Dolly Parton's big hair?

Oooooooooooooooohhhhhh....... a woman with big ...... hair ..... I dunno. It's 3:30 in the morning. Why should I be making Dolly Parton jokes?

r3port3r66 11-03-02 01:48 PM

Actually Dolly Parton answers both questions for FF (Who would play you/end up playing you?)

How about you Jason, who would end up playing you if the talented and busy Mr. McGregor were unavailable?

Sexy Celebrity 11-03-02 01:59 PM

Ewan McGregor would never be busy enough to play me.

Nightmare Inc. 11-04-02 09:36 PM

Mine
 
:frustrated:
Samuel Jackson (even though i'm not black, i'd like him to play me.)

Tom Hanks

Robin Williams

Tom Cruise

Russel Crow

My girlfriend says I look like an actor called Charlie Hunnam or Hunnman or something (don't even know who he is). So I guess it would be him who would have the honour of depicting I, your King, on the big screen. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Aniko 11-26-02 06:45 PM

Toose...why did you take your picture away? I wanted another look at it. I was originally going to say Johnny Depp....but he just seems a little to intense. If Tom Hanks were a little younger I would say him...because of his funny and serious side. :yup:

Someone once said that the perfect person to play me wouldbe Brad Pitt, I look kinda like him, and have the same sort of attitude (attitude from Fight Club) :)

Adam

LordSlaytan 11-27-02 06:53 PM

It's funny nobody has said Bobcat Goldwaith or Phillip Seymore Hoffman. We're all Brad Pitts and babes. ;)

The Silver Bullet 11-27-02 06:59 PM

Ooooooh. I'll be Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Yeah!

Piddzilla 11-27-02 06:59 PM

Phillip Seymour Hoffman can play me any day! He's one of my favourites and I would be honoured. I will play HIM if they ask me to.... :cool:

Gracie 11-27-02 07:01 PM

Or Whoopie Goldberg or Britney Spears or Ryan Stiles! :laugh: I stand by my post about the girl from Spy Kids and Winona Ryder! :yup: ;)

Ive found the PERFECT casting for Silver Bullet, Colin Lano, im not sure if you Americans have heard of this comedian but lets just say he uses Matts big vocabulary, is sarcastic as they come, is extremely mean to his friend (Frank) and he is the one without the hat (i hope i have the right picture) but yes my recommendation, for this guy wouldnt even need to meet SB to play him perfectly.

Mr.Nemesis 01-04-03 09:55 AM

i think prolly dolph lundgren

Naisy 01-08-03 07:33 AM

who? :confused: whose that? what movies has he been in?

Fugitive 01-08-03 07:44 AM

Are you serious, man?
I unfortunately resemble Keanu Reeves but have the disposition of Gary Cooper.

im serious man, name some movies, names im not so good with at this hour, but movies im still on the ball so anwser the question without delay man.

Fugitive 01-08-03 07:51 AM

You mean you've never heard of Dolph?
Mostly b-grade stuff like He-Man and - correct me if I'm wrong - Red Scorpion.

Naisy 01-08-03 08:04 AM

name rings a bell but nothing specific is in mind sorry

Oh well. I would like to point out at this point that I am shocked. Shocked constantly. I hate everything. Nothing pleases.

The intensity of my gaping eyes may prove this but it's what's inside that counts. The inside that torments.

I hate Harry Potter.
