Past Friday Question Fun entries
Wow, I can’t believe it is freaking NOVEMBER, you guys. November. Wow…
Anyway, let’s get to the question for this week!
In a movie about your life, who would play you?
Could be living or dead and doesn’t have to look like you
Although a movie about my life would be incredibly boring, my top choice to play me would actually be someone that looks a lot like me. Logan Marshall-Green from Prometheus. Don’t believe me?
Well, it’s kind of an old picture of me, but my point remains. I just wish I was as ripped as Logan in Prometheus. At least the movie version of me would be a badass…
So what about you?
Andy Watches Movies 
Hmmm, tough question….I wouldn’t really know who would play me. I’d probably choose one of the top actors if I could 😉
Like Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling or George Clooney?
Yeah, it would be one of those movies where more than one actor portrays me 😉
Hahaha nice!
Oh wow, I have no idea. I’m sitting here and not one name is coming to mind. Jodie Foster maybe.
Jodie Foster is a good pick!
CILLIAN MURPHY Would Play Me. He And I Look A Lot A LOT Alike. Only Major Difference Is He’s Famous AND 4 Years My Elder 😉 hehehe
Oooh nice one!
I love Logan Marshall-Green! I’m a closet The O.C fan… it’s my one girlish drama television indulgence. Ah, lucky you. Does anybody ever point it out to you?
I have no idea who would play me, I would like to think maybe Uma Thurman if we were the same age. But like, a short Uma Thurman. It might confuse some viewers to have a tall lady portraying a 5 ft 1 inch person.
Other than that, I’ve only ever been told that I look like Dobby the House Elf. So, I guess he’ll do.
When The OC was on, people would but not so much anymore. Logan’s gotten progressively better looking and more fit and I’ve…Not. So that might play into it too.
Ha I think Uma is a better choice than Dobby, height be damned
Everyone who could remotely resemble me are either dead or too old to act anymore. Gosh darn it, it would have to be me playing me! 😀
Haha, playing yourself would be pretty neat
If it could be anyone living or dead, who would you pick?
Interesting question. I think it would have to be either Lee Van Cleef (cause he’s got my eyes LOL) or possibly Harry Dean Stanton. That’s my opinion, but, I’ve been compared to Tom Selleck for years so for the sake of “good looks” alone, he’d be the top choice. LOL
Man, even if this wasn’t your biopic…I would love to see those 3 guys in a movie back in their primes.
Agreed!
I get Andy Garcia a lot. I will qualify this by saying Andy from “The Untouchables” or “Godfather Part III”.
I like that you picked a certain “version” of him. Nice one!
Apparently I look like Paul Walker……..who if you have never seen a fast & furious film you will never have heard of :). If I could choose anyone though, I would say Jared Leto as I love him.
Either of those would be pretty awesome
My wife, God Bless her, says that James Woods would be the one to play me. She says he would be the closest to approaching my quirky nature. I think Christopher Walken would be just as good of a choice.
I think either of those actors would be awesome choices, Woods especially – I think he is horribly underutilized these days
Obviously it would be a cross between George Clooney and Schwarzenegger from the 80s. But knowing my luck they would cast some no-name for my straight-to-DVD life story film 😦
Hahah picturing George Clooney’s head on Schwarzenegger’s frame is a funny mental picture for me. I think the power of Hollywood could make that one happen
I’ve heard a few times that I look like her, which, I don’t know that I agree. Ellen Page.
Hmm based on the Gravatar pic I’d say more like Liv Tyler
Oh good call! I weirdly feel like I’ve traded up somehow… not to insult miss page or anything, of course.
I’ve got nothing against her either but she looks too young, even when she’s 40 she’s gonna look like she just got out of middle school.
Hmmn. I guess it depends on who others say you look like (Quite a broad range: Ewan McGregor, Zach Braff, Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter and bizarrely Hugh Grant have all been touted in the past) and who you’d like to play you (Michael Fassbender – best actor around at the moment hands down)
Good point – I would love Fassbender to play me
Jason Bateman ~ Arrested Development years but he’d have to grow some facial hair and be able to do complex diagams on white boards.
Considering his great head of hair, I think he could pull off an epic beard. They could probably hire a white board stunt double too
I’m defaulting to the person I get the most “Hey, you look like’s…” Ashley Johnson. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0424534/
I figured you’d go for her 🙂
Either her or ScarJo
Not sure on this one – someone quirky and kind of off beat to capture my true self, but as far as looks go people have said I resemble Bruce Willis or Michael Chickllis when my head is completely shaved. I can see Michael, but not Bruce.
I’d pay to see Michael Chicklis acting quirky
I bet he could do it very well. He seems like that kind of actor.
Robert De Niro 😉 Him playing a seventeen-year old, it would seem quite likely, wouldn’t it? Logan Lerman’s pretty good, as he proved his acting skills in ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’. But the one actor who would probably be the most convincing is: Matthew Lewis, who plays Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films. Mostly because he’s often cowardly, but shines through when he’s really needed. My life story won’t be very interesting either, lol. It would just be a guy watching a movie theatre screen. Exciting, right? I guess if that’s all it is, they should get Morgan Freeman to play me and he could just narrate the whole damn thing.
Morgan Freeman narration, yes! That’s a must-have
Freeman narrating: “He gasped at the film in horror. And then, he threw a handful of popcorn into his mouth, and enjoyed the buttery goodness.”
lol
The only famous person I was ever told that I “look like” was Jason Lee. I don’t really see it… maybe it’s the eyebrows?
Jason Lee is still pretty awesome though
I really, really have no idea who would play me. I don’t know of any actor that looks like me (or viceversa, whatever).
Aside from looks who would you want to pick anyway? Assume they could just get a Fernando mask or something haha
Andrew Garfield or Tom Hiddleston. Two relatively new actors that have exploded into my favorite actor list. It would be a great role for any of them. They’d have to work on an accent and pack on the pounds. And everyone knows Oscar loves transformations! 😉
Hahaha two great choices
It would have to be some average-looking guy like Jerry O’Connell or John Cusack.
I’d pick Cusack, personally
When I was a kid people often told me I looked like a young Joaquin Phoenix, and oddly enough he would probably play me well. Though, he is quite a bit older than me now. Also, I’d think it’d be awesome if Tom Hardy played me, only to make me look like an extremely muscular man.
Both would be awesome choices but wouldn’t you want Hardy to bulk up a bit so it looks like you were super ripped in real life?
Yeah, I’m leaning towards Warrior Tom Hardy and less TDKR Hardy. It’s all about lean muscle and fat muscle. That man is a machine.
Yeah he is. I wish I had a body like his
Well, if I was older, it would be Steve Carell. LOL
Haha nice
My husband nominated Winona Ryder or Christina Ricci — probably because they both have big eyes and so do I. Personally, I’d much rather have Kate Winslet 🙂
Can’t go wrong with any of them but I can see why you’d want Kate Winslet, that’s who I would pick too
Kate is awesome, I don’t think I’ve seen her in any film where I didn’t instantly connect with her character. I just think she would “get” any woman she wanted to portray in a film, if that makes any sense.
Yeah, I totally get that – I agree
Love this question!! because it is my dream Ava Gardner to play me… she can totally pull it off! Intimidation, mystery, raw beauty, sensuality, ingredients I may or may not posess but sound awesome!
BTW my have has been pretty cool and full with adventure… would make a decent tv movie LOL.
Wow Ava Gardner would be an amazing choice
I’m sure somewhere in my 30 years of life a movie could be made, but I wouldn’t want to watch it haha
People always tell me I look like Sandra Bullock, so I would say her. But I would love Helen Mirren to play me like 30 years from now…..If I could look that good at that age!!
Helen Mirren is a total babe
I get asked this question quite a lot, and I’ll give you the same answer I always give: Julia Roberts. Whaddya mean, you don’t see the resemblance?!
Hot.
Bette Davis, even though:
A) she’s no longer alive
B) she looks nothing like me
C) she is the polar opposite of me
I just like the idea of it.
Haha good answer!
I got balls, I’ll post a picture. Patrick Fugit (if he gained a few pounds or I dropped a couple). http://i.imgur.com/1jTsc.jpg
Nice pic – he does look a lot like you
It’s a very old picture. I’m much older and handsomer. Yes, I felt I needed to tell you that.
lol
Interesting question.
I know who can play me but you might not know who she is 😉
It’s Nakama Yukie…she can easily play the cheerful me
I had to look her up, but based on her career it seems like she would be a great choice!
Tyson will probably be jealous of this (as it’s his favourite actor) but I’ve often been compared to a young DeNiro. You probably can’t tell from my profile photo and personally I think I’m better looking 😉 but it has been said by numerous different people and luckily he’s also my favourite actor into the bargain.
Man, how cool would it be to be played by DeNiro? Better get your life story sent to Hollywood ASAP, Mark haha
This is a good question! I don’t really look like any actors (I don’t think?) but I would pick Lena Dunham because I love her and I feel like she would “get” me for some reason.
Good choice!
i’ve been told ed harris, but he’s too tall to play me.
But the movie version of you could be taller
didn’t think of that. ordered my ebertfest passes, got my room reserved, i’m all good. you?
not yet – some unexpected expense came up so I’m holding off for now, but I still plan on it
if it gets close to crunch time and passes are running out, let me know. i’ll order one for you and you can pay me back at the fest.
Sounds like a plan thanks! I don’t think it will be an issue, but it really depends on how quick they run out
Cool question, and actually a rather tough one!! :O
Chloë Grace Moretz or Cassie Scerbo I guess 🙂
Great choices!
Thanks 😉
Thanks very much 😉
It’s kind of funny how I often watch movies and the characters/actors look like some of my relatives/friends, but none of them really ever look like me. Maybe someone who can do a speech impediment (I’ve been told I have one, but I’ve never actually noticed), or someone who speaks before thinking. Oh yeah, Joe Biden! Just take the age away and he’s perfect. 😉
Haha I never recognize myself looking like someone else until I’m told
Great question! Based on resemblance alone – Justin Timberlake, but I would probably choose Joseph Gordon-Levitt because the role would require the full spectrum including whimsy and introspection.
Both solid choices, can’t go wrong!
*I* would play me, of course! But if not, I’ve gotten a lot of Thora Birch lookalike statements (don’t really see it but whatevs) so I’d go with her.
Nothing wrong with Thora Birch
Oh, totally nothing wrong with Thora, I am a big fan! 🙂
