Spy magazine had a bit like this. Their version was:

You want X
You’ll settle for Y
You get Z

You want Samuel L. Jackson
You’ll settle for Delroy Lindo
You get Yaphet Kotto

Valerie Bertinelli is the M4TV Annette Bening.

Reminds me of one of my more successful threads on the SDMB. I wouldn’t mind seeing it resurrected, or maybe make this thread into a sequel?

Is Jane Seymour the M4TV Helena Bonham Carter?

That’s pretty close I think. I was thinking he was the M4TV Tom Selleck, but then Tom Selleck’s the M4TV someone else, right?

I thought Michael Ironsides or maybe John Saxon would be the M4TV Jack Nciholson. I guess Michael Ironsides is the B-movie Jack.

No, John Saxon is the M4TV Michael Ironsides.

Lord knows I love him but Kiefer Sutherland is the M4TV Bruce Willis.

David Spade is the M4TV Owen Wilson.

I prefer Delroy Lindo :).

My boyfriend calls Tom Selleck the false prophet - he’s not quite Burt Reynolds. Personally I prefer Burt Reynolds. Magnum P.I. is one sexy motherfucker.

I think Burt Reynolds is closest: David Hasselhoff is the M4TV Burt Reynolds.

I can’t believe I got that wrong - in my defense, I was drinking wine and watching a humiliatingly chickish flick. Personally I prefer Tom Selleck. Obviously.

Please complete the following:

David Hasselhoff is the M4TV . . . Justin Timberlake

Jane Seymour is the M4TV . . . Kate Beckinsale

David Caruso is the M4TV . . . John Cusack

Lee Horsely is the M4CheesyKnockoffTV Tom Selleck.

Hmm. I don’t see the Cusack thing at all. Caruso thinks of himself as a redheaded DeNiro or Pacino. He’s a hard one.

David Caruso is the M4TV Colin Farrell.
