Time for a little insight. Who would play you in your movie biography? My pick is…Jeff Goldblum! ---

Michael J. Fox - but he’d have to wear platform shoes. ---

Jack Nicholson, but they’d have to use a lot of makeup to make him look 17. * * * I don’t know who first said “everyone’s a critic,” but I think it’s a really stupid saying. ---

Probably Daniel Stern. He and I look a _lot_ alike. Complete strangers even say so. BTW, this is [Daniel Stern](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Stern,+Daniel). ---

Matt Damon. We’re about the same age, and I’ve been told about 6 times that I look like him. (I always hope they don’t mean how he looked in Courage Under Fire) ---

Seth Green. I personally don’t see much resemblance, but I’ve been told it’s there. ---

I’ve been told I look like Harry Anderson. Drunks in the L.A. airport have demanded that I perform magic tricks. I’ve met Harry Anderson, and he’s about six foot five; a good five inches taller than I am. So if he plays me, the love interest will have to stand on a chair. * * * Uke ---

Oh, OK, are we going with who we LOOK like, or who we ACT like? For personality, I’d go with some wise-cracking dame like Eve Arden, above, or Joan Blondell. For looks, I’ve been told a depressing number of times that I look like Cher and Frank Zappa had a baby . . . So I dunno. Bea Lillie? Connie Selleca? Daniel Day-Lewis in a wig? ---

I’d love to be played by Emma Thompson, but I think she’s too old. Figuring that it should be someone five to ten years _younger_ than I am, to allow for flashbacks and the time delay in making a film – Anna Paquin? ---

Kenny Wayne Shepard, that young blues guitarist, is pretty much my twin. Save they’d have to give him some testosterone injections so he could manage the half-shaved look. ---
