I could swear we’ve done a thread about this before. Oh, and I call dibs on Hugh Jackman. I’ve always wanted to be portrayed with retractable adamantium claws. ---

If Sean Astin would pack on the weight again, dye his hair a blackish brown, and keep an unkempt not-quite-beard, he’d make a pretty good **Aesiron**. ---

At various times I’ve been told I look like [Ed Helms from The Daily Show](http://anitasdailyshowpage.tripod.com/thesouptimenerd/ed649.jpg), [the guy from They Might Be Giants with the glasses](http://www.highroadtouring.com/artists/tmbg/gallery/promo/tmbgcolorhi2.jpg), and [the guy who played Dante Hicks from Clerks](http://www.viewaskew.com/clerks/images/pics/dante2.gif). So they’d have to fight it out or something. (I’ve also been told I look like Billy Joel and Michael Moore, from people who obviously never learned the “If you can’t say something nice…” rule). ---

Since I can never remember what I look like, I had to ask **kittenlm**. She say [I](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=People&mode=&pic=Paul01.jpg&picindex=16) would be played by [Edward Norton](http://www.facade.com/celebrity/photo/Edward_Norton.jpg). Huh…go figure. It goes without saying that [**kittenlm**](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=People&mode=&pic=Linda09.jpg&picindex=9) would be played by [Bridget Fonda](http://www.shop-engel.de/bilder/2005/Bridget_Fonda_Fonda_Bridget_Bild_6_Foto_Hochglanz_k.jpg). 🙂 ---

I get to be John Cusak but Cusak of the past. Nothing after High Fidelity Idenity was good but I think that came out after a bunch of crappy movies. ---

Twenty years ago, I would have been played by Richard Dreyfus, _a la_ **Jaws**. Now, unfortunately, Wilford Brimley would be more like it. ---
