Buster Keaton got Donald O’Connor. Glenn Miller got Jimmy Stewart. Joan Crawford got Faye Dunaway. THEY didn’t get to choose. YOU do.
Who is YOUR choice to play the leading role when Hollywood gets around to delineating YOUR exciting life?
S/he doesn’t have to resemble you physically. This can be a character/personality thing only. S/he doesn’t have to even be ALIVE…if you want Lon Chaney, Cary Grant, Bette Davis, or Edna May Oliver, take 'em up on it.
Me, I’ll take…ummmm…Victor Buono. That touch of madness always rang a bell inside me. Even though I’m MUCH more slender and handsome and not-bald.
I’ll take Fabio, basically because he’s the only person I know who resembles me physically and I want to be remembered as a smooth European, despite the fact that I’m not.
Plus he’s already got long hair so he wouldn’t have to go fake. Although he would have to dye it.

This thread doesn’t seem to be attractive to the women, for some reason. Ah, well, I’ll jump in.
Kathy Bates about 15 years ago. We’re a physical match (sigh), and I’m sure she could tone down her fierceness to play wimpy me. Good actors like to stretch, right?
Catrandom (can we suggest them for other people? )
Not too long ago Mrs. Trion tried to work out our bio-pic. Her choice for me was Seth Green. That’s Scott Evil or Oz on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and a good choice I think.
I’d have to go with a young Paul Newman, personality wise (especially as Butch Cassidy and Henry Gondorf in the Sting) and I guess somewhat physically, if I was to drop about 30 lbs.
Hmmm…Hate to admit it…but my bio actor would have to be Judge Reinhold…possibly Brent Spiner ((data from Star trek: Next Generation…only I’m not quite as green/pale))
