Let's cast SDMB: The Motion Picture (or, who do you look like?)

[tdn]

Coming soon, to a theatre near you -- SDMB: The Motion Picture.

Starring Kelsey Grammer as tdn. Mr. Grammer put on 40 pounds for this role.

Also staring...

[twickster]

Sigourney Weaver as twickster. (I don't see the resemblance, but a friend swears that's who'll play me in the movie version of his life, so who am I to argue?)

[Giles]

Directed by Stephen Spielberg in a small cameo role as Giles -- who oncve had someone come up to him in the street in LA and ask if he was Spielberg. (Yes, there is a bit of a resemblance).

[Loopydude]

We wants our own trailer. Yessss, preciouss we does!

[WordMan]

Dan Aykroyd - initially as thin SNL Dan, but slowly moving towards "wow, did he get big" older Dan...gotta work on that!

[AndyPolley]

Only Jason David Frank, aka the White Ranger, could play me.

[dasgupta]

... with a small cameo by Edward Norton (or if he can't make the shooting schedule, a younger, non-bald, goateed Anthony Edwards)

[Kythereia]

As the goddess of love resident, there is no other option for my role than Angelina Jolie. (Maddox can play Eros, if he wants. )

As myself? I'll say Rachel McAdams as brunette. She's Canadian, too, which is a plus.

[pravnik]

I get Keanu Reeves a lot. Christian Bale occassionally.

[Improv Geek]

This is very hard for me, I'm rather one of a kind in looks. Size wise, we have to go with my fellow giant - Vince Vaughn. Looks wise though, I don't know of anyone who remoted resembles me in looks.

[Sattua]

Scarlett Johanssen, with her hair dyed brown. And specs.

[WOOKINPANUB]

The role of WOOKINPANUB which was originally cast with Mary Tyler Moore, will now be played byPat Benetar

[Dung Beetle]

Winona Ryder will be taking on the role of Dung Beetle.

[Least Original User Name Ever]

I'll be represented by the three-headed monster (and acting hydra) of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Val Kilmer all rolled in one.

Seriously though, I've got nothing. I don't look like anyone famous.

Really? So...

You sure you're married?

[Loopydude]

We wants a gofer, prreciousss. A fluffer would help motivates us, she would...oh, yessss, precious...gets us in the right frame of mind that would...yessss...

Well, I admit it's going to be a stretch for Winona, but I couldn't think of someone small and dark-haired. Do you really look like Kelsey Grammer?

[Marley23]

I'm at a loss, and there's probably a reason they don't put people who look like me in movies. But you'd need an actor with black hair and a goatee, early to mid 20s, shorter than average. If you've got any thoughts, pass them on. I hate not having an answer for threads like this.

Orlando Bloom? Hugh Dancy?

[Thudlow Boink]

I've been told I look like Rick Moranis, except I'm taller and don't wear glasses.

[Hey, It's That Guy!]

I've never figured out who I look like.

Attitude-wise, I could maybe see a bald, bearded Zach Braff or John Krasinski, or just about any male actor from any Joss Whedon show (I exhibit traits of most of the characters), but nobody has ever said I look like anyone famous.

[middleman]

Emile Hirsch shall play middleman.

I'm about ten years older and about 15-20 lbs heavier, but that guy looks JUST like I did when I was 20 (he's in better shape, but I was thin back then...)

When I watched him in The Girl Next Door, it was distracting how much he looked like me.

My wife, if she appears in this film, is a near Doppleganger of Anne Hathaway of the Princess Diary.

Scott Caan has the look, but I don't think he has the chops to pull off the voodoo daddy!

Maybe a little.

*wolf whistle* Every girl crazy 'bout that sharp dressed man!

[What Exit?]

Kevin Smith could play me. He's a little tall but close enough.
This shot in particular looks close to me in the winter when I wear my Beard.

Jim

[anyrose]

also starring Kathy Najimi as anyrose. Ms Najimi has dyed her hair a rich auburn for the role.

you look like a less kempt Brad Pitt

[swampbear]

With Randy Quaid playing everyone's favorite gay doper and beer swiller swampbear!

[Man With a Cat]

Only Bruce Willis can be Mr Bus Guy.

The physical resemblance is fleeting, yet still there. (squint)

But only Bruce can capture the combination of sublte humor, and rough and toughness that exists in the belly of my soul. (squint more, and again)

Plus, lately we have the same hairline.

That's flattering, but they're both way too pretty. When I saw Liberty Heights, I thought David Krumholtz looked a little like me. Actually, he did have a goatee in Ray, let's see... This is not too bad.

[Baine]

I've been told I look like Josh Hartnett and Johnny Depp on different occasions.

[Antinor01]

Maybe Scott Lowell of Queer as Folk. http://imdb.com/name/nm0523116/ . Though he's 10 years older then me, I think he could pull it off.

[Troy McClure SF]

I've gotten James Spader a few times.

[The Hamster King]

I look almost exactly like Philip Seymour Hoffman.

[DanBlather]

John Goodman with glasses.

[Bashta]

I've several times been compared to Steve Buscemi. At seventeen years of age, I wasn't sure whether to laugh, growl or take off and nuke the club from orbit. (Though it would be the only way to be sure)

Now that I've matured a bit (at eighteen) I've recently been favourably compared with Guy Pearce à la Memento. Hooray!

[Governor Quinn]

Looks: Sean Astin, after gaining some weight, dying an eyebrow white, and going a day without shaving and three without sleep.

Personality: Hugh Herbert, all the way.

[Anastasaeon]

Once upon a time, I would have picked Alyson Hannigan, but I don't feel I look anything like her anymore. People used to say it all the time, but the more I look at the differences between us now, the gap has widened: I got fatter, our faces both matured in seperate directions, etc. I need a new look-a-like.

So, today, I would choose.... hmmm... using this interesting site (which isn't terribly accurate) to scan my several of my recent pictures.. the highest hits I get back are:

#1 Marcia Cross (?! - must be the red hair and pale skin? Jeeeeze!)
#2. Calista Flockhart - (I'm thinner. No wait, that's backwards. She's thinner.)
#3. Tyra Banks - (...)

I always did tell my husband I was a Victoria's Secret model while he was at work. He'd be thrilled to see my co-worker, Tyra Banks, play me on the big screen.

[Draelin]

Apparently, Sara Rue no longer looks like me, so we'll go with Janeane Garofalo with her hair dyed red (and maybe an extra pound or fifty).

[YaWanna]

Well, her nose is thinner (hell, she's thinner), and she'd have to dye her hair red, but I'd like to see Jodie Foster play me (when we were kids, she reminded me of me).

[OneCentStamp]

30 pounds ago, a lot of people told me I looked like Brandon Lee (Bruce's son, the one who was killed while filming The Crow). We were both half Asian and compactly built. Were.

No kidding - it told me my doppelganger is Beyonce Knowles. Let's see - I have white skin, red hair, blue-grey eyes, a square jaw, a cleft chin, thin lips, and a pug nose (not broad), and I'm over 40 - yeah, we could be twins!

Oh, and also, they'd all have to keep their mouths closed at all times. I have the goofiest mouth full of crooked teeth in the world.

Sigh. I am a thin girl trapped in a fatter girl's body. I'm also a girl with porcelain veneers trapped in the body of a girl without porcelain veneers. It's very frustrating. I'm a pre-op beauty queen*. (<-- that's the back of the hand pressed to the forehead. I'm also an out of the closet drama queen.)

* - It's a joke. I'm not going under the knife to be thin, since I'm not obese. I may visit the dentist for some veneers soon, though!

[YaWanna]

Sorry, that was a different website that said I look like Beyonce. The one Anasastaeon plugged says I bear a 66% resemblance to Helen Hunt. (Actually, I agree.)

[Don Draper]

A slightly younger Daniel Day-Lewis would be me (He's about ten years older than me.)

Or maybe Ben Affleck who is closer to my age (although I think he might be younger)...naw, I'll go with Day-Lewis. At least he can act.

[Casey1505]

Judi Dench can TRY to play the role of me. Let's see what sort of acting chops that chick has.

[Anaamika]

When I was dancing, many people compared me to a young Mumtaz. However, Mumtaz being dead and all, she can't exactly play with me so I had to go through a whole list of younger actresses to find one.


Rima Sen

Yes.

[DianaG]

According to Anastaseon's site, I could be played by Ashley Judd or Aishwariya Rai. Of course, it also presents both Hilary Clinton and Hillary Duff as options, so make of that what you will.

For what it's worth, when we played this game in my office, they chose Catherine Keener, based more on personality than looks.
