What actor/actress would you choose to play you, in your life story?

    I'd pick John Cusack, because he's a bloody great actor and he usually turns down roles that are overly Hollywood.

    He'd be able to play me too, no problem. There are other actors that I love too, but the role just wouldn't suit them. For example, Al Pacino can only play a certain type of character IMO, and I'm definitely not it (I'm no Tony Montana)..

    Someone who could live up to my method like Marlon Brando or Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. Obviously someone whose name finishes with o.

    Stephen Graham (brilliantly talented English actor; can be seen as Tommy in Snatch, Billy Bremner in The Damned United, Combo in This Is England and many more, but these would be the more famous roles). I think he'd have me down to a tee!:D

    Myself. I have absolutely no acting experience but sure it looks fairly simple, I reckon I'd get an oscar in my completely accurate portrayal of Davidius: The Crime-Fighting Astronaut that gets all the women and is also handsome and not an internet tough guy at all.

    Morgan Freeman.
    Someone black.

    Can you not give a reason as to why though, or do you spend all your time on AH trying to be in with the second post on threads trying to get loads of thanks? At least try to explain as to why you think the actor would do a good job portraying your life on screen.:) It mightn't seem so strange to people who actually watch films (and don't spend all their time on the net), as to why you choose a certain actor . Oh right - he's black and you're white, so he couldn't possibly portray your life. That's hilarious and you'll get a loads of thanks (but you got none :(). Oh ****, you're a mod and I'm fúcked now..:)

    Christopher Reeves was good, but not as good as Christoper Walken.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,417 ✭✭✭The Pontiac


    Whatever you do, don't actually think of an actor that might be good at acting out your life on screen. That is just so self-absorbing. Just think of the funniest thing that comes into your head (you might even get thanked), and post that... I'm just too cool for this shít...
