Perfect Casting
So, here's how this game works.
I'll post a person's name and image. The person could be of any profession (actor, singer, politician, athlete, company CEO, religious figure, or any historical or international figure). The person could be famous, infamous, not so famous, or not famous at all even. Living or dead. Male or female. Of any background. Just MAKE SURE you post the person's name AND image! The next poster will have to respond with a name and image of an actor or actress (preferably an actor or actress who is still alive) that would be the perfect casting choice to play that person in a movie. I'll start with an example: John Lennon https://www.marveloptics.com/blog/wp...ohn-lennon.jpg RESPONSE: John Lennon played by Ewan McGregor http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...cgregor_21.jpg Michael Jackson http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/200...ackson-300.jpg |
So the next person responds to Michael Jackson? If so,

Just a note for @mojofilter re: Johnny- I've no preference on the choices you and CR presented but - it was not Sreve Martin I was thinking of.
It was - Tommy Smothers! I saw the resemblance for years, but don't think anyone else ever commented on it. Tommy - the brother that mom didn't like best- * bore an uncanny resemblance imho to John. But even though they both were comics, they had such different personas, the visual similarity was easily missed. At any rate, Tom is too old to play Johnny , as a young man at any rate. * But don't worry Tom- I always liked you best ;D ( PS - would love to see a biopic on Marvin Gaye) And now- on with the game! Very intriguing thread you have here , I don't often post, but always follow it. |
