Imagine you're a famous writer. Some producer wants to make a movie about your life.

Which actor/actress would be perfect to play YOU?

Hmm, I'm a 40ish white male...when I was young, I was pretty ahtletic, into sports...but I also liked heavy metal, wore alot of black...then came that whole '80's thing...I found myself actually trying to follow fashion, wearing the latest look...pastels, even pinks (a touch effeminate)...professionalism in the 90's, suit and tie, power lunches...then the kids came, I slowed down, quit work, but got back into athletica and health (for the kid's sake). I think who ever played me in a movie would have had to go through the same kind of changes....

I've got it...Demi Moore!

Paul Rudd. He's just always reminded me of myself in a way. Plus it doesn't hurt that he is 5x hotter than I am... Ha ha. (But, if I'm good enough, I wouldn't mind ATTEMPTING to play myself.)

I was going to say - he's one of the guys I forgot to mention on the 'hunk' thread...

I've always imagined Jodie Foster, for the same reason - lots of similarities, but she's hotter than I am :D

For a younger me, the woman (she's 30) who plays Grace on Joan of Arcadia. Very strong resemblance to my younger self.

WELL...who I'd like and who'd be perfect - two different things!

Who I'd like, haha, Meryl Streep or Diane Lane (Streep is older than me, Lane is only a year or two younger).

Who would be a good fit, for real: Helen Hunt.

Mmm, I suppose you're right but I wasn't being rhetorical, I was asking a valid question. What if, say, your perfect answer was Humphry Bogart or Mae West? D'you see what I mean? :)

Hugh Jackman. But I'm 5x hotter.

;)

I can't think of anyone... okay, maybe the Korean kid from Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle? Or Russell Wong. Or Keanu Reeves.

Valerie Bertinelli--

When I was younger (and she was more in the public eye), people used to tell me I looked just like her. I even signed an autograph with her name once, just to get one guy off my back.

I want Queen Latifah but since we're supposed to be "real", I'm more Camryn Manheim than Angelina Jolie...unless you're looking in MY mirror in which case I'm more AJ than CM. ;)

I've got dibs on Madeleine Stowe. (Did I come close to spelling that right?) More than pretty enough (okay, too pretty) but unique enough to be interesting. Classy and classic. Looks like she's intelligent.

All qualities I hope to achieve by the time the script is finished!

Maryn, who'd better get to work immediately
