Okay, since nobody has selected my actor yet…

I’ve been told I resemble **Daniel Day-Lewis** …but I think it was empty flattery (which works, BTW)…😉

I think my character would be portrayed best by **Richard Lewis** …🙂

But I suspect that most of you would cast **Tommy Chong**. 😛

Guess I’m still animated, voiced by Clint Eastwood. 'Course, now I’m going to need someone to be my Zorak…

:eek:

I’m a _Muppet_?!?

I always thought of myself as the John Belushi type, personally. . .

I’m still working on my list. Don’t worry.

If Mike Meyers is unavailable, can I get John Cusack to play me? I’m SO much like him (though not as articulate) in _high Fidelity_, among others.

Since I replied to two of your threads last night, and took the time to look around your page, I think a better choice is Alicia Roanne Witt. Two reasons: Hair matches better (and IMHO, she’s beteer looking than Anderson), and IIRC Witt has a genius range IQ.

And bummer: I’m 37, 6’ 2", and a writer. Dejected smilie goes here.

I’m only familiar with the former. But, just to give you extra jollies, we’ll let you keep Scrappy Doo as a sidekick.

I sorta like this game, but as not to leave anybody out, I’ll come in and cast the latest poster to reply. I’ve been to SPOOFE’s excellent page, and recall generally what he looks like, so, hmm…

Rob Zombie as SPOOFE. Can Zombie act?

That Diamond Dallas Something-the-other wrestler as SPOOFE.

Or going back to the seventies, Ted Neeley as SPOOFE.

All in fun, I hope…

**Sir Rhosis** , I like your idea of casting the last poster. Just from interacting with you on the board, I get a strong Hugh Grant vibe. Dunno why.

OH my God Jesus!

I’m “The Hillbilly Who Went Up A Mountain and Came Down With a Skanky Ho.”

I work for a British company and love without end Jenny Agutter, Saskia Reeves and every female Doctor Who companion, but that’s abot as Hugh Grant-ish as I get.

I always think of a cross between Snoop Doggy Dogg (your handle) for you and that curly-haired guy hugging and wrappig his girlfriend in a blanket in that iconic (iconographic) Woodstock (69) photo.

Gotta run, later.

I never made the woodstockbirdybird and the Snoop Doggy Dogg connection, but now it is all too apparent.

Wow. WOW! This makes it a completely different movie.

Of all the compliments I’ve gotten during the course of this thread (Which I’d return, if I wasn’t so bad at playing the casting game), this has gotta be the best!

Danny Kaye was one of the all-time greats and one of my personal favorites!

But I gotta confess, I look more like Jim Belushi than Giacamo: King of Jesters and Jester to Kings. 🙂

Thanks, **Goboy**!

I checked out SPOOFE’s page and Diamond Dallas Page? No way. DDP is old,grizzled and looks like a frog.  
If we have to give him a WWF guy, I’d go with Raven.

hardy,

I was just going with the hair and beard, really.

And sorry, but I’m suddenly getting this image of either Tim Considine or Tommy Kirk with boobs. I don’t even know who Hardy the racer is. 🙂

I could live with a Godfather-era Brando. Of course, I’m not nearly his age, but can you **BE** cooler than that??

Besides, ask any of the AmsterDope attendants about the giant painting in my living room - it’s by a Dutch artist, and depicts Brando as the Godfather. Some people think it’s the tackiest thing they’ve ever seen, but dammit, I LOVE that painting. 🙂
