Who would you want to play you in a movie?

[X-Woman]

Let's say Hollywood wanted to make a movie about your life. What actor/actress would you want to play the leading role? Who would you want to play you?

I wouldn't mind Demi Moore, but I'd probably get Janeane Garofalo.

So who would you want to play the role of you?

 

[gwynplaine]

Vincent Cassel or Romain Duris.

 

[El Payaso]

Woody Allen or Larry David.

They don't look like me but they can catch the essence.

 

[Figs]

I was asked this in my 15 minutes thread awhile back and I think due to my size and frame I would pick Joseph Gordon Levitt.

 

[SuperFerret]

Jackie Chan in his prime. That way it'd at least be an entertaining movie.

 

[gwynplaine]

Andy Serkis "motion capturing" me.

 

[gwynplaine]

_ Johnny Depp, but I'd probably get Ron Jeremie.

 

[Gilpesh]

Jackie Chan in his prime. That way it'd at least be an entertaining movie.

And at one point he can punch a guy in the face and then look cool for a second.... then realize his hand hurts like hell!

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Jeff Anderson

 

[gwynplaine]

_ Sir Laurence Olivier.
_ Larry "the cable guy".
_ Zac Effron.
_ Klaus Kinski.

 

[SuperFerret]

And at one point he can punch a guy in the face and then look cool for a second.... then realize his hand hurts like hell!

Just like that one time that I did that.

 

[Gilpesh]

And then he can fight a dude with his own shirt and his shirt and then that guy's pants and then his friend's shoe.

 

[Bruce Banner]

If I was to be casted
If someone can bring Jonathan Brandis back to life with a shaggy hair cut would work.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I might go with, Jeremy Renner...

 

[Jochimus]

R2-D2. He's the only one who can do justice to portraying me.

 

[gwynplaine]

_ John Cazale.
_ Heath Ledger.
_ Young Jack Nicholson.
_ Robert Mitchum.
_ Peter Lorre.
_ Dean Martin.
_ Jean Gabin.

 

[comicfan4Life]

Seth Rogen in brown face.

 

[hammerhedd11]

Steve Buscemi

@ gwynplaine: I saw you suggested a big number of actors to play you. It made me think about a movie that came out a couple years back about Bob Dylan, called "I'm Not There." The role of Bob Dylan was played by six different people. I can't really comment about it because I haven't seen it, though. It was just that your posts got me thinking about it, because so many people played Bob Dylan in the flick.

And I wouldn't mind being played by Jennifer Connolly, Selma Blair, Christina Ricci, or a young Liz Taylor.

I'm told I look like Leonardo Dicaprio and now even more so with the goatee but my life movie would be boring unless it was about my 15 months in Iraq .

I haven't seen "I'm Not There" yet, but I like the idea of different actors portraying the same character.
Apparently Cate Blanchet was a great Bob Dylan. And it's funny to think that he was also played by Batman (Bale) and The Joker (Ledger).
And I like your casting choices.

Robert Downey Jr. would be ideal for me.

But realistically, a combination between James Roday, Topher Grace, and the dude who plays Hank in Royal Pains. People say I remind them of Eric. I would agree with that. I have Hank's serious nature (apart from the daddy thing) and James Roday's sense of humor and usage of pop culture references and quirkiness.

 

[gn6196]

Sting. But he would have to eat more rice and beans.
