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

[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.

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

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!

Movie ~ Kate Hudson

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Please. Not to flatter you, but you are cuter than Frida Kahlo. (Then again, so am I. ) 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".

Funny you should mention Chandler. We both despise Thanksgiving.
