1. Who would you have play you in the movie of your life? 2) Who are you perfect to play in the movies? For (1) I’d want to give the part of me to Cary Grant, but he’d need to dress down considerably. For (2) I know I would be a much better Bruce Wayne/Batman than any of the jokers who’ve had the part so far. While we’re at it, now that Raul Julia is dead, who do you think would make the best Gomez Addams? Morticia? I was thinking Danny Devito and Sigourney Weaver would be great in the parts. ---

The only actor I’ve ever been compared to (in terms of appearance) is Brendan Fraser. Fraser, Frazer, Frasier, I don’t give a damn. But I think I’d have to have a mind double or something . . . someone capable of doing more than shoot a gun or slam into a tree or be totally anachronistic. In terms of parts I could play . . . Will Hunting. Not as good as Damon did it, but I could do it pretty damn well. And probably any movie Keanu Reeves was in. ---

I have no idea why that posted three times. I only hit submit once, I swear! It doesn’t have to be someone you physically resemble. I’m not exactly Cary Grant, I must admit. I just think he could have done a good job acting like me. ---

I would want eithwe Hank Azaria or Tim Robbins to play me. I, on the other hand, can be a Sean Connery (but only in cartoons, as I only have the voice.) Looks…some people say I look like…well…nobody. But I think I could play the many parts of William H. Macy. Hmm…now that I think about it…he does sorta kinda almost maybe possibly look like me.
