View Full Version : Who would play YOU in a film?
OK, here's the deal. For some reason or another you hit the headlines in a big way, Hollywood now want to tell the story of your life. Which actor/actress from TV or Film, past or present would be best suited to play the role of yourself? Can be based on looks, a character they played in a movie or whatever reason you decide. What would the movie be called?
I'll kick off:-
I would be played by Anthony Edwards, who was Mark Green in ER. My wife reckons he looks quite like me and was a similar character in ER. I am a shade older but reckon I edge it on looks ;)
The film title is One Flew Over the Scorrie's Nest and it is definitely rated 18 for language!!
For me it would have to be Ted Neeley. He played Jesus in the old 1970 Jesus Christ Superstar movie. Until recently I used to be almost as skinny as him in that movie and loads of people used to tell me I looked like him.
He's gotten a bit fatter these days, and yes, I still look like him :(
Oh well - I'm sure I can learn to enjoy counting calories all over again.
Probably the best actor to play me would be Russell Crowe cos of looks(mrs says so lol) and the roles he has played that I can identify with.. If he refused, then Joachim Phoenix would do just as good.
i cant think of any actresses i look like, though years ago a kid i babysit for insisted a picture of Meg Ryan was me!!! :lol:
going with that picture thing i did on bebo, it said i look like heather graham.. i dont.. but hey, im not going to complain at that! :lol:
Come on now, that is not the whole exercise; "What would the movie be called?"
After that reprimand I suppose I had better take part too...
I have been told I look like Glenn Close:eek: and the title of the film would be "101 Springer Spaniels".....:lol:

Recently, it feels like I've been Henry Fonda in "12 Angry .Orgers", so that'll do for me. ;)
Wow what a question...lemme think :)
I think I'd want Robin Williams to play me...not that I'm incredibly funny, nor do I look like Mrs Doubtfire, but I strongly identify with his characters in both Patch Adams and Good Will Hunting....not that I'm a psychiatrist or a doc, but I love people and getting involved with people. Plus, he's not your regular Joe and he doesn't have the classic good looks of the likes of Crowe or Gibson, which is what you definetly don't need if you're playing me!
If he wasn't available, and it could be engineered, Shrek would do :) Ogres are like onions lol
The title of the film? 'Another Fine Mess' lol
Come on now, that is not the whole exercise; "What would the movie be called?"
In my case it would probably be a movie version of the Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin :)

Julie Walter's not because I look like her but because only a mother whose been through the "wars" like me could carry it off.
I'd call it Outside In.:D

I love Mark Green.
I love ER.
And now that MadPict has shown me how to work spell check, scorrie appears with a dotted red line under it.
OH reckons that Gillian Anderson would be a good choice to play me in a film and it would have to be called 'Itchy feet' not that I've had a wish to be living anywhere else since I landed in Caithness.

If you're talking about me 30 years ago...Billie Piper.Now? Lindsay Duncan
It would have to be pauline quirk, from birds of a feather. I look and talk like her. And my film would be called " singing the blues" jan x:lol:

Well when I was young I was told I was very like Hayley Mills, but now, even though she is 13 years older than me I would like to be played by Judi Dench - she has the right amount of wrinkles :lol: (Maybe I flatter myself)
LB
I would have to go with Susan Sarandon...I don't look that much like her apart from the large eyes and sassy attitude and she is a lot older than me but my OH is the spitting image of her director husband Tim Robbins.
Film would be called...'Last Tango in Tesco's';)

I was told that I resembled Viggo Mortenson in the Lord of the Rings films. Well, I doubt it these days! As for a film title for my life - I really haven't a clue........Too Old To Rock'n'Roll, Too Young To Die?
Lucky you...what a boast!
OMG I was playing myself down...I am more like a young Bette Davis (eyes again) sans fag..but with Tim Robbins!;)
or:eek:!
Margaret Rutherford would play me .
The film would be called 'The Big Splash.'

I love Mark Green.

There's always one that lets the fame go to his head!:D
Based on looks and parts they've played, I'd have Sally Field or Janeane Garofalo play me. (I thought Janeane was great in "The Truth About Cats And Dogs"!) They're both short brunettes like I am. Sally is nine years older, and an inch taller than me. Janeane is nine years younger, and half an inch shorter than me. The movie would be called "Sporran Jones's Diary", and as well as Colin Firth, some of my other fave men would be in it too. These would include George Clooney, Pierce Brosnan, Antonio Banderas, Ewan McGregor and John Barrowman. They'd all be vying for me in the movie - John Barrowman included! :lol:

I forgot to say what my film might be called...
'LavenderBlue the movie' may be misconstrued, :confused a'hem.
So being as I chose Judi Dench to play me it'll have to be 'Lady likes lavender'
LB :lol:
Or how about "Ladies in Lavender - the sequel"? :) Judi Dench and Maggie Smith starred in the original version in 2004, Lavenderblue2.

I think Dawn French in "Two Dogs and a Fat Lady" would do it.
I look nothing like Dawn French but I really love her sense of humour, and I think I would like her romping around with two crazy ridgebacks.
(PS I think for a fat lady Dawn French is very attractive.)

Yes, I loved that film Sporran - such a gentle laid back film - my title 'Lady Likes Lavender' was just a wee slant on that :lol:

John Malkovic in I used to live there but I live here now
Probably the best actor to play me would be Russell Crowe cos of looks(mrs says so lol) and the roles he has played that I can identify with.. If he refused, then Joachim Phoenix would do just as good.
Russell Crowe?
Here Rheghead, I seem to recall you posted a photo of yourself on here a couple of years ago. Although the quality wasn't the clearest, I don't recall thinking of Russell Crowe at the time. Maybe if you had the Gladiator gear on it might help. Get yersel a skirt and a sword and take another snapshot. Hollywood awaits!!
I think this is a fun thread, Scorrie. Thanks for starting it! :)
Come on folks, don't be shy! We need some more of you to join in! :D

Gosh I'll need to think.
I think I would have Drew Barrymore playing me as the Celebrity Morph thing I did a while back said I looked the most like her. Also "Never Been Kissed" is one of those Chick Flits that I like :D
Ummm...as for the title of the film....I don't know...."Phoenix flew"? As I found myself flying a long way from everything I knew when I moved upto Caithness!

John Malkovic in I used to live there but I live here now
People say I look like Suzanne Somers so would it be OK if she co-starred with John since the title is perfect?
Now I know why you looked familiar in your elfyourself pic, Margaret! :cool:

17-Jan-08, 23:18
Hmmmm, according to those 'match your face to a celebrity' sites I'd be somewhere between Tobey McGuire and Colin Firth :eek:
The film would have to be sort of like Jerry McGuire (coincidentally) - guy changes life & leaves job to go it on his own, picking up a cracking lassie on the way - they may not make millions but they do live happily ever after!!!
Film title: For Love or Lust - read into that one what you will! [lol]
Hev reckons Robson Green should play me and I reckon Gillian Anderson (Scully-X Files)should play her .
Catherine Tate...but............. am I bovvered? [lol] x
used to be told i looked a lot like carly simon(singer..remember her)when i had longer hair and was a couple of years younger ..lol(maybe 15 yrs younger) but would like Julia roberts to play me ,i love her smile:D

Oh dear. According to a site called My Heritage Face Recognition I look like Kirsten Dunst (who she?) or Prince William. Royalty or vampire/spiderman sidekick:eek:.
Personally, I'd prefer Dorothy Tutin...:confused
What would the movies about you be called, Thumper and Miranda?
Thumper, seeing as you've just said Catherine Tate should play you (one of my fave impersonators, BTW!), perhaps your movie could be called "The Many Faces Of Thumper Rabbit"! :lol:
Miranda, perhaps your movie could be "Carly Miranda - The Brazilian Bombshell" or "Carly Woman"! :D

Well according to the site helenwyler mentioned I look like Julianna Margulies so we could start our own ER scorrie - lol! (She was the only person I recognised that I looked like - for anyone who does know what I look like and went - what?????) Anyway my film title would be "Once, Twice Three Times A Wifie". [I know this person is dead but OH did suggest Joan Crawford - something about wire hangers - lol! (Mommie Dearest ref!)]

Sorry digressing - maybe we should start an ER appreciation thread!
I would also like to thank HW for mentioning the face recognition site (such fun) - but was disappointed poor OH had no double - maybe he is unique!
