DOne before? Possibly, couldn’t find it. Anyway, if they were to make a movie with the SDMB members as characters, who would you cast in the roles? You don’t have to choose based on physical features (if you know them IRL) necessarily, but more by who you think would best portray them based on their personalities as conveyed through their posts. Feel free to disagree and come up with your own ideal actors for a poster even if they’ve already been cast by somebody else. Maybe there could even be a vote sometime, if I’m not too lazy to organize it (and I am). Sounds fun, right? I predict this thread will die swiftly. Anyway, my choices: **pldennison** - John Cusack **Manservant Hecubus** - Jack Black **Shayna** - Julia Roberts **Qadgop the Mercotan** - John Mahoney **TVeblen** - Meg Ryan **jarbabyj** - Angelina Jolie **katiekilldare** - Parker Posey I swear I had a ton more in mind, but I guess the Nyquil’s kicking in. Anyone? ---

Personally, I’ve always thought I should be played by a young Peter Ustinov…but that’s just me… ---

**matt\_mcl** - Rupert Everett **Coldfire** - Rutger Hauer **Crunchy Frog** - Jim Carrey **tomndeb** - Dan Ackroyd **GingerOfTheNorth** - Famke Janssen **Cecil Adams** - James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman Maybe more later P.S. if we can choose **dead** actors too, then replace my choices for **Cecil Adams** by Alec Guiness ---

I wanted **Fenris** to be played by Steve Martin. Um, is Chevy Chase available, maybe? Or Harrison Ford? I can imagine Scylla and Fenris face to face in a drainage pipe opening into thin air hundreds of feet up in a dam wall… “Scylla, I didn’t send out that anonymous invitation to all Amish to come trespass on your land. Honest!” “Fenris, I don’t care.” Redboss ---

Rutger Hauer?? The horror! I looked up Kevin Smith, but he doesn’t look anything like me. I take it he was casted because he is funny, sexy, and modest like myself. 😉 Oh, and Shayna is MUCH prettier than Julia Roberts will ever be. ---

Angelina Jolie? I’ll take it. I’ve got pictures of her posted in my closet as an inspiration. I’ve always cast **Manhattan** as Eric Bogosian. Just because I think he’s the ultimate “New York Guy” ---
