Due to some dislocation in the space/time continuum that you don’t understand, (neither do I or I would include it in the OP), you are required to nominate an actor whose roles you will play in his/her stead. If you do an adequate job your life will be spared. However the actor you choose must have received some level of acclaim for his/her roles.
I guess I get the easy first choice. I will play all Bill Murray’s comatose roles since Wild Things. He is someone I used to really enjoy in all his roles but now he seems worse than the people who only play themselves, he seems to actively avoid any form of engagement with the rest of the cast or the audience.
Give me enough drugs and I could sleepwalk through his recent roles.
It’s a game, but it’s an actor game; plus, I’m sure there will be some debate over certain assessments of certain actor’s talents or lack thereof. So, off to Cafe Society with the whole lot of ya!
Paul Stewart, character and supporting actor in movies and radio and a member of Orson Welles’ Mercury Theater, would be my choice. I am prematurely gray-haired, heavy-browed and dark-eyed, and can do any number of accents and voices.

I could handle any role Michael J. Fox has played since Family Ties – and do it without being mistaken for Michael J. Fox. My delivery would be very . . . different.
