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?)

Directed by [Stephen Spielberg](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000229/) 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).

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

As the goddess of love resident, there is no other option for my role than [Angelina Jolie](http://perso.wanadoo.es/sergio.casasola/angelina6.jpg). ([Maddox](http://img.stern.de/_content/54/36/543688/jolie500_500.jpg) can play Eros, if he wants. 🆒)

As myself? I’ll say [Rachel McAdams as brunette](http://www.myclassiclyrics.com/artist_biographies/Rachel_McAdams_Biography.htm). She’s Canadian, too, which is a plus.

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.

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.

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?

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. 😛
