Edited on Fri May-12-06 12:41 PM by terrya
I'd want Phillip Seymour Hoffman to play me. Not sure why.

8. I dunno. Maybe Robert Downey Jr.
Although, I doubt that a film about my life would be interesting enough to make a movie that people would sit through. He's a good actor when he's not strung out, and I suppose we look close enough alike for it to be convincing.

10. Dick Cheney
Cause after the movie, everyone would be saying "Man, Goblinmonger wasn't THAT big of an asshole." It's all about looking good in comparison.

21. Uhm maybe that actress from Elizabethtown
I didn't particularly like that movie, and I'm not even a huge fan of hers, but she's more like me than most actresses I've seen.

58. A young Richard Gere
I've had several people tell me that I look a bit like him... though, I'm "only" 39 and he's quite a bit older than that.

Anybody out there that looks like a young Gere?
