Who should play you in the movie versions of your life?

[darklinensuit]

Pick two performers: one for the TV version and one for the big-screen version.

- Jake

[GardenStateGirlie]

For TV- Jamie Lynn DiScala from The Sopranos
For Film - Kate Winslet

Why? I have no idea.

Et tu, Jake?

[DrummerDeanna]

Gosh..I don't know...

There are like what...two Hispanic actresses...and I DON"T want J-Lo playing me in a movie lol...

I guess they'd have to get some new up-and coming actresses for tv and film..lol...

You can borrow Jamie Lynn when she's through with my film...she's part Cuban. Yea, you don't want J-Ho...unless she's going to be an extra...like your 2nd cousin five times removed :laugh:

[strandinthewind]

Cary Grant - Gregory Peck

Living ones, Hugh Jackmon or Pierce Brosnan

How's that for humility!!!!! :cool:

[DeeGeMe]

Movie: Julianne Moore (although she's actually older than I am)
TV: Rose McGowan (although she's younger than I am).

[madformac]

Bill Murray to play me.. I think he could act out my take on the world pretty well..

:wavey: :wavey:

:laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, life would be soooo much simpler if that was the case... It's more like Groundhog Day at the moment.... At work anyway... "Morons, your bus is leaving"... :D

Hey Jake, are you going for the all time number of postings in one day record?

:D :] :wavey:

Haven't seen Groundhog Day.

No record here. Today's my last day of break, and I'm spending some time here while I can. The weather's too cool for the pool, I can't eat out until Passover ends tonight, and I'm not letting myself work. I have company arriving in an hour, so you'll have a break from me. :wavey:

Well..I have some pretty skanky cousins..I'm sure I could find a place for her in my film ;)

And yeah...Salma Hayek..what a realistic portrayal that would be :D ;)

[Villavic]

I don't know...
I wouldn't choose somembody thinking he looks like me, I'm not the boy next door so..

but I would like (a younger) John Malkovich for the movie version, it would be so exciting!

For the tv version, no doubt. Matthew Perry . Don't know if he looks like me but I feel kind of identified with Chandler Bing, so I guess he could play my life very good.

[wondergirl9847]

Well, I think I resemble Kellie Martin a smidge, plus she DID play Christy in the TV show of the same name...so.... ;)

[DeeGeMe]

I swear I thought I answered this earlier, but I don't see my post.
Yes, Jake, to answer your question, I'm not blonde or brunette!

[Pisces Queen]

Movie ~ Kate Hudson

Made for TV ~ Jennifer Anniston?!? Maybe?!?

[GardenStateGirlie]

They seem pretty different from one another. What do you have in common with them?

- Jake

I really like Kate a lot...she's intelligent, sassy, sophisticated and I really enjoy her films. She's not your typical Hollywood actress and I think that's another reason why I like her. With the exception of Quills, i've yet to see a film where she's played a bad roll (and it wasn't even that she was bad in that, it was just that the movie itself was incredibly strange). So, I think she can do justice to anyone. I was going to say Catherine Zeta Jones because of the height and dark hair but she sort of gets on my nerves :nod:

Jamie-Lynn grew up in musical theater and has always loved singing. The character she plays on The Sopranos has a lot in common with her and I suppose I identify with Meadow a lot (my father swears I could play the part). Not that I look 100% like her, but I think she'd make a good me.

[chiliD]

Well, let's see...Lowell George & Jerry Garcia are both gone. (they wouldn't work, even if they WERE alive...I'm much younger than the both of 'em)

Maybe Dan Schneider (the fat kid on "Head Of The Class"...if anyone remembers that show) or Oliver Platt.

Nah...on second thought...Bob Seger.

[wondergirl9847]

Nah...on second thought...Bob Seger.

Weird you mentioned him because every dang time I look at your avatar, I go, "He looks like Bob Seger." Apparently, you get that a lot. LOL

[sparky]

This is funny. My ex and I always used to joke about this, and the big budget action flick would be Keanu Reeves as me, and Vin Diesel as him (low on dialogue, heavy on the, ahem, action). The art house version would be Joaquin Phoenix as me and Javier Bardem as him. Never discussed the TV casting.

[cliffdweller]

:laugh:

This is a rather hilarious topic.

T.V. verison: hmmmm....this is hard because I don't watch a whole hell of a lot of t.v. I guess I would pick (as a pipe dream mind you) Julia Louis Dreyfuss because I think we share similar attitudes and personalities, at least her character on Seinfeld anway. Oh, but she'd have to dye her hair blonde and that would just be wrong.

Film Version: everyone says I look like Drew Barrymore, and I mean EVERYONE so I guess I would have to pick 'ole Drew, we're the same age too, so it all works out nicely.

Have you seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Yet? If you're a Kate Winslett fan you will LOVE this movie. It's greatness.

[xdreamsunwindx]

Hmmm... I guess Drew Barrymore could play me. I've been told I look like her, and I kind of sound like her when I speak, so that'd work out pretty well.

[GardenStateGirlie]

My schedule is so odd compared to that of my friends so we've not had a chance to go out and see it yet. However, I definately want to

[darklinensuit]

And yeah...Salma Hayek..what a realistic portrayal that would be :D ;)

Please. Not to flatter you, but you are cuter than Frida Kahlo. (Then again, so am I. :rolleyes: ) I think she could be you just fine if they could make her look younger.

So it would be called "Being John Malkovitch Being Villavic". :cool:

Funny you should mention Chandler. We both despise Thanksgiving. :nod:

I was kidding. It seemed pretty obvious from your selections. You might as well have picked Ginger and Ronald McDonald. :)

I've seen Kate only in Titanic, & I've never seen The Sopranos.
Catherine ZJ does get on my nerves, too.
She'd be a good pick for you. :nod: :lol:

I'm surprised I remember that Head of the Class guy. There's a blast from the past.

I'd like to see a blond Julia. I guess you did resemble Drew, but thank goodness you don't have her speech pattern or your movie would be three times as long.

Another long flick. (See my comment to cliffdweller.) ;) :wavey:

Thanks...I can feel the love all the way over here...lol

This is Jamie Lynn....

http://users.snip.net/~njdevilsangel83/JLynn.jpg

So Jake...what about you?? Or do I get to pick? ;)

[wondergirl9847]

Was she the one who was on ER? (I still haven't seen that show, so I don't trust my memory.)

Yep, she played Lucy Knight. She got stabbed by a patient and died. Carter also was stabbed but survived.

Okay, put me down for Drew Barrymore's appearance and Julia's personality. Personally though, I prefer Julia's looks too, I think she's beauty-ful.

Doh?!?! Smacks self on forehead. :nod: of course Drew!!!!

[estranged4life]

no-one...Because I just don't see anyone capable of being able to play my life on screen, Either I do it or no-one!!!

[sparky]

I don't think I know who Javier is.
And TV version: How about Brian Austin Green as you and Joey Larence as him? :cool: :lol:

- Jake

Jake, you clearly need to move here and become a casting director.

Javier is this hunky Spanish actor. His films include "The Dancer Upstairs", "Before Night Falls", and "Second Skin". Better than Banderas. And way more handsome, IMO.

The Joey Lawrence thing would never work. Homie got no manly man thing going on. B A Green is an interesting choice. I just can't think of the right guy to play opposite. Who plays sultry and burly on tv ? I am trying to think of a younger version of Mitch Pillegi (AD Skinner from X-files).

Come on, Jake, I know you can cast this !
