If you could be any fictional TV or movie character, who would you be?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

My answer is easy.

Baltimore Mayor Thomas Carcetti (of The Wire):

[ceile]

1. Buffy.

I would love to kick some vampire and demon ass!

[graywarrior]

2. Beatrix Kiddo

[flvegan]

3. Batman

Granted, Superman has the better powers, but Batman has major dollars and the badass toys.

[DarkTirade]

14. He also has some serious mommy and daddy issues too though...

gotta take the good with the bad. :shrug:

[IzaSparrow]

47. Batman should be everyone's answer.

[flvegan]

49. Thank you.

Obviously, we share a higher braincell count than others.

Or something.

IT'S LOGIC, PEOPLE!!!1!!!1!!!

[MrScorpio]

4. Gary Seven

[Lethe]

44. well he does have all those nice computer toys and a sexy cat

Isis? :D

and how did he get Teri Garr as a secretary anyways??

[kentauros]

5. Hadji

"Master" of all the djinn in I Dream of Jeannie

[pokerfan]

6. Randy Marsh

[HERVEPA]

7. Bret Maverick

[sammythecat]

52. I was a huge Maverick fan as a kid, but

I was always disappointed when the star that week was Bart(Jack Kelly), or, if I remember right, I think Roger Moore was a third brother who's name I forget. James Garner couldn't have been better as Brett. That was a great character.

I'm sure you've seen the movie version with Mel Gibson and Jody Foster. I was really prepared to not like it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. A very entertaining movie.

[SteppingRazor]

8. Q from Star Trek: TNG...

because being able to do anything I want, anytime I want, anywhere I want is, you know, pretty cool.

[sakabatou]

17. Seconded

But didn't he go on trial in the Q-universe for being too kind?

[SteppingRazor]

54. Actually, IIRC, it was an act of kindness that had his powers returned to him...

it was his capriciousness that had them taken away.

[Jokerman]

9. Gaius Baltar

Two cylon babes at the same time and now a cult of hot women treating him like a god.

Sweet!

[DS1]

11. He's certainly got a knack for setting himself up well

:thumbsup:

[Va Lefty]

10. William the Bloody-- AKA Spike

Immortality, super human strength and Buffy. Now that's a trifecta

[Broken_Hero]

12. Superman, nt

[Fox Mulder]

13. Lestat de Lioncourt.

He's more powerful than the Joss Whedon vampires.

[Forkboy]

15. Blackadder

[martymar64]

37. I'd rather be Lord Flashheart

He gets laid more.

Wooooof!!!

[Forkboy]

51. LOL...good point.

So to speak. :)

[geardaddy]

16. Zelig

[amandae]

18. Spiderman

It would be awesome to have his strength and immortality to do some good ...

[cynatnite]

19. Bionic Woman...the Lindsay Wagner one...

Loved her when I was a kid.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. Omar.

Oh, indeed. ;)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. Will you also whistle "Farmer in the Dell"/"A Hunting We Will Go" while carrying a 12 gauge?

And jump off of 4 story buildings and live to tell the tale (for three more episodes, at least)?

Omar comin'! Omar comin'!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. All in the game, yo.

All in the game. ;)

[IntravenousDemilo]

21. God.

But I'd like to be a little bit younger than George Burns.

[trof]

22. Opie

[IntravenousDemilo]

23. Oooh, I loved Aidan Gillen in the original Queer as Folk!

I've never seen The Wire. Does he manage to pull off a Baltimore accent all right?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

26. Actually pretty well...

Here and there there's a hint of an Irish brough, but for the most part you wouldn't tell.

Of course, The Wire was notorious for having British and Irish actors play Americans. Aidan Gillen, Dominic West, Clarke Peters, Idris Elba, etc.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

29. IMDB says Clarke Peters was born and lived in the US for 20 years.

So he's a Brit citizen, but I'm sure he kept his American accent.

[BulletproofLandshark]

25. Neo

We could use someone like him in the real world right now.

[Arkham House]

27. Philip Marlowe

Beautiful dames, action, intrigue, snappy lines, a city that still wasn't too congested...with all the mean streets anyone could want...who else?

[nuxvomica]

30. Charles Foster Kane

I want my own newspaper, dammit!

[blockhead]

31. The Invisible Man

:evilgrin:

[Hayabusa]

32. The Doctor

and I don't mean the Voyager one.

[mwooldri]

42. Who? (nt)

[Hayabusa]

43. Just The Doctor.

[RainDog]

33. Wonder Woman

cause I'd get to fly and have a lasso of truth and..oh wait.. I mean the comic book wonder woman, not tv/movie. can I still want to be wonder woman?

[hellbound-liberal]

34. James Bond

That would be really cool!

[jmowreader]

35. Captain Walter "The Painless Pole" Waldowski, DDS, in MASH

Who WOULDN'T want to be the best-equipped dentist in the Army?

[UndertheOcean]

36. Barnie the purple dianasour

what can I way , I am a masochist

[Maddy McCall]

38. Olivia Benson....so I could kick some criminal ass and shoot my gun and stuff.

[GOPisEvil]

39. Then you could arrest me for stalking you.

Do I love me some Mariska Hargitay? Yes I do. :D

[Generic Brad]

40. Captain Jean Luc Picard

Make it so!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

41. rob petrie

except i wouldn't be sleeping in no stinking twin bed.

[nuxvomica]

63. Oh gosh. Spending your days with Buddy and Sally...

and your nights with Laura. That would be awesome. :wow:

[Brigid]

45. Irina Derevko from "Alias."

OK, so she basically went insane by the end of the series. But not before she ran her very own criminal empire for years, stole secrets for the KGB before that, and survived everything life could throw at her. A psychopath, to be sure, but never boring! Just ask Jack Bristow! :evilgrin:

[Lethe]

46. probably Steve Zissou

Movie critique aside....

How awesome would it be to go out in a huge boat with all your friends, get high, find new sea creatures, and film it and shit.

[Lorien]

48. Aragorn. n/t

[Blue_Roses]

50. Julia Roberts hands down so I could...

kiss George Clooney in the "Ocean's" movies.:D

[Mad_Dem_X]

53. As a kid, I wanted to be

Kelly (Jaclyn Smith) in "Charlie's Angels." She was gorgeous and could kick bad-guy ass.

[datasuspect]

55. B.A. Baracus

[Orsino]

56. Q, of course.

There are some environmental problems I'd like to take care of with a snap of my fingers, and some presidential papers I'd like to distribute to the media.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

57. Jed Bartlett

I'd love to have his compassion, faith, kindness and visionary policies and politics

[Phillycat]

58. Lara Croft.

I would spend my whole day kicking ass, and look like Angelina Jolie, too. Not a bad gig.

[EstimatedProphet]

59. Gandalf the White

[Burma Jones]

60. Jack Crabb from Little Big Man

121 years of a very very interesting life.......

[Bunny]

61. Either Gilligan or Don Corleone.

It's a toss-up.

[NJmaverick]

62. The Highlander

Swords and immortality, what more could you ask for?

[Aristus]

64. Josh Lyman from The West Wing.

As much as I liked Donna, I can't believe he ended up with her and not Joey Lucas. If I were Josh, I'd have moved Heaven and Earth to make Joey mine...

[bamacrat]

65. Macgyver.

[S n o w b a l l]

66. Shaft....John Shaft

Who is the man who'd risk his neck for his brother man? Shaft! Can ya dig it? Who's the cat who won't cop out when there's danger all about? Shaft! Right on. They say this cat Shaft is a bad motha...

Yeah, it'd be either Shaft or Lassie.
