He’s ten years older than me, but [Stellan Skarsgård](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1587/Events/1587/StellanSka_Amy_G_626781_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Skarsg%E5rd,%20Stellan) could be me older brother (we’re the same height [6’3"], hair coloring, build and with very similar faces). Or his [son](http://www.stellanonline.com/alexander4x.jpg) could play me in the movie about my younger and crazier days.

Penelope Cruz looks like a good choice.

I got 60% Brian Eno and 52% Kohl. I noticed the Kohl pic had one eye slightly more closed than the other and so did mine. So anyone whose eyes go slightly squidgy when a flash goes off is obviously related to Herr Bundeskanzler.

I’m also 53% David Duchovny and 50% _Alyson Hannigan!_  
And I’m just learning to play the flute! How _did_ they know?

HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Kyle MacLachlan has just inked a multimillion deal to play **Elendil’s Heir** , according to studio sources. “He’ll have to lose some hair and gain ten pounds, but otherwise it’s perfect casting,” said one insider…

Yeah, Penelope Cruz could work. I think you’re more attractive than she is, though. Her face is kinda squarish.

While I was working retail, I had at least a couple of people come up to me each week to tell me that I look like “That guy from the OC!”. Even after looking up pictures of him online I really didn’t see it, but a bunch of people have told me I look like him. (Although, probably not now that I’ve got a beard.)

I get told at least once a week that I look exactly like Neve Campbell. I’ve always gotten that one. However, I think my face looks exactly like Selma Blair. My mom says I look like Katie Holmes. But all those people kinda look similar anyways. That website said Cameron Diaz for me which doesn’t even make sense.

Without a doubt, **Jason Lee** (in his role as Brodie from _Mallrats_, rather than Banky Edwards or even Earl Hickey) is the perfect person to play Martini Enfield in _SDMB: The Movie_.

Of course, should scheduling conflicts with _My Name Is Earl_ prevent Mr. Lee from taking up this role (Of course, he’d make time for the SDMB film- It’s practically a guaranteed Oscar! 😃 ) , then **David Duchovny** (in Fox Mulder mode) would be another ideal candidate.

In fact, it’s hard to pick between the two of them. I guess we’ll have to shoot all of my scenes with both of them, so we’ve got a “Director’s Cut” for the DVD. 😃

And for the love interests, **Aria Giovanni** and **Jenna Jameson** , thank you very much. 😃

Yes, noticed that the first time I played around with it. It’s slightly more trustworthy if you put more than one photo in at different angles and the same actor/actress/public figure comes up for each.

With all my Ally Sheedy/Selma Blair hogwash, I completely forgot the most obvious choice: whispers are flying aross the blogosphere that the role of \*\*[vaderspal](http://www.speakeasy.org/~ginger/images/igotjimmiessmall.jpg) \*\* in _SMDB: The Movie_ has been offered to Teen Girl Squad’s own [**The Ugly One**](http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:tgs-uglyone.PNG). vaderspal is rumored to be thrilled at the selection, as she is reportedly [a fan IRL](http://www.speakeasy.org/~ginger/images/itsdotcom_sm.jpg) .

Yeah, that’s why I tend to stay away from roadhouses…and from bikers that look like Santa Claus. :eek:
