i would insist on playing it myself, because i already know all the lines, and i can do my own stunts! “was it a small part?” “depends on who’s playing McBeth!” ---

i have been told like a few people I resemble Reese Witherspoon and Gwenyth Paltrow, and my boyfriend swears I look like Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. But he’s my boyfriend, he’s gotta say that, right? Perhaps he’s trying to convince himself… It must be the blonde hair and my super-nice friends. ---

I’ve been told by many, very many, that I look like Sandra Bullock. Go figure. ---

It would have to be Fred Durst, whom I resemble from build to ballcap. ---

Drew Carey. He would have to grow a beard, and gain weight. I wonder what he is doing this Sat. Nov. 10th. Semper Fi. Drew. ---

Which part, Superdude? Because, like I said, the Cameron Diez thing is completely false. I don’t want you to have any unpleasant surprises at HoosierDope. ---

Well, I’ve been told that I look/sound like Kevin Smith (I actually do look quite a bit like him), Ben Affleck (have been told over the phone several times that I sound just like him, and have been told I look like him), and Steven Page of the Barenaked Ladies (when I have been clean shaven/had shorter hair, I have actually been mistaken for him). Any of them would be cool, I suppose. Course, I would rather mix-n-match to make the best actor to play me: Jack Black’s crazy side meets Tim Roth’s quiet/intellectual side meets Kevin Smith’s mellowness/mellow humour. Heh…I guy can always dream, can’t he? 😃 ---

A guy just told me that I look like James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano). I don’t think Mr. Gandolfini would’ve appreciated that, but I sure did. ---

The movie of my life must include: Joe Pesci stabbing someone repeatedly. Meg Ryan surviving a long illness. A Busby Berkeley finale. It’s only based on a true story. Sean Penn stars. ---

They would undoubtably choose the guy who played **Cameron** in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. He looks like me. ---

they would probably have to get amanda plummer, julie haggerty or joan cusack for me. none of them classically beautiful, but quirky, intelligent and fun. of course, they’d have to get a red dye job and green contacts, but who doesn’t want to be a green-eyed redhead these days? ---

If Helen Hunt gained some weight (well, a lot of weight) and made her hair more reddish-blonde, she could be my twin. I have squinty eyes and thin lips like hers, in an appealing sort of way. And I match her in intelligence, wit, sarcasm and humility. I just don’t have any Oscars or Emmys around my house. Yet. And I need Beck to play my love interest.
