Who plays YOU in your Star-Bio?

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’d be played by Michael Richards. Except he’d need to gain forty pounds, but hey, if Sylvester Stallone could do it (for FREE!), Kramer can!

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.

Yep, but weighing a bit less than he did before his demise. And considerably less decomposed than he is now, I reckon.

{Silently jerks thumb up at the above quote, to try to forestall continued “I’d pick Douglas Drumbille, except he doesn’t look like me and he’s dead” stuff}

Beau Bridges (or so I was told once).

Elvis is going to play me.
He’d better, I’ve already made $125,000,000 in advance movie deals to multiplexes. Christmas blockbuster of December 2000!

I’m still reviewing scripts.

Yeah, but apart from those two things (and our differing hair color) we could be identical (well, fraternal, anyway) twins.

(Nitpicker! :D)

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? :smiley: )

Honestly?

Kevin Spacey… in the shower.

It’s a toss-up between Clark Gable and Ben Stein.

Let’s see… early Mel Gibson for the manic/anger parts I have. Mike Farrell (BJ in MASH) for the quiet/punster/practical joke-breaker part.

Looks? Ick. Just animate this Bio and be done with it. :slight_smile:

For looks - Kyle Mclachlan (in Dune). Even my mother was stunned at the uncanny resemblance, although I was about 15 years old when Dune came out.

The best match for my personality is Methos (from Highlander), but some days I’m more David Lee Roth or Jack Nicholson.

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.

No doubt about it. Lili Taylor.

Groucho Marx.
He would have been able to make my life seem interesting.

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))

CatRandom, as I don’t know anything about Kathy Bates (or many of the other actors cited in here), why do you sigh about the physical appearance?

Or should I to to jeeves and look for pix of her?

I’m sorry to say that it would probably be Don Knotts.
