Pick a Top Five?
Steven Schirripa, hands down. Like the man said, he’s a dead ringer.
Oh, what the hell, Zach Galifianakis.
I’d have to vote for Schirippa of those suggested, but if neither he nor the others are available, I’d go with either the late John Candy or SNL’s Bobby Moynihan.
Mr. Creosote
Paul Sorvino, circa 1990. (aka Paulie Cicero from Goodfellas)
Yes! And whoever it was who played his gofer (wore short sleeved shirts) in Goodfellas
Louie Anderson
I was going to suggest Jared Leto, who once gained 67 pounds in order to play Mark David Chapman and seems like just the kind of pretentious bastard who would be thrilled to suffer for his art like that again to play Chris Christie. But it seems, per his Wikipedia page, that Leto has decided that pulling that stunt once was enough.
Kiefer Sutherland in a fat suit.
“Give me your endorsement, or MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC!!!”
Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
Bobcat Goldthwaite.
Has anybody ever seen him and Chris Christie together?
Not until he’s done portraying Chris Farley.
I think the closest they could get to each other is about six feet.
Not just his gofer but his brother Tuddy was played by Frank DiLeo (1947–2011) who was also (in real life) Michael Jackson’s manager and who looked a lot like this in Goodfellas
