Movie Role You Felt You Were Born To Play?

LCDeelite · 06-08-2008 03:53PM #1

Is there any role in a movie you have seen where you thought, "F*ck. I could have done a far better job myself. That role would have suited me to a T"? Regardless of whether you act/can act, nor not (I don't act- only da eejit!). :pac:

I've seen many films where I enviously saw myself portraying a character! Two roles that I thought were 'robbed'(!) from me were:

Badass 'Nancy' (robbed from me by the admittedly good Fairuza Balk!) in the film 'The Craft'

and

Bill Murray's character in 'Groundhog Day'.

I'm sure there are loads more, though! So.. YOUR thoughts!

Being John Malkovich. What gob****e in casting gave him that role?

Wilson in Cast away.

I've got the facial expression down perfect. Plus, i float pretty well.

Zed from Police Academy.

Bobcat just didnt do it justice

Sam in The Lord ofthe Rings. I would have acted all Steven Berkov...

Damnit Des!

Though I could easily pass for The Dude.

I thought it was a well-rounded performance. You'd probably make a balls of it tbh.

You're not William Wallace. William Wallace is seven feet tall.

Oh... I think I'd have to go with Max Fischer in Rushmore.

elmolesto · 06-08-2008 04:00PM

Jason Porn from Porn Identity

Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if he were here, he'd consume After Hours with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

I could play Jesus Christ quite well too.

No need for a wig or fake beard!

When I saw you posted in this thread, I assumed you were going to say chopper.

I think Id have made a pretty mean Joker.

Belle in Beauty and the Beast!

Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas. I'm already a short angry bastard who is pissed off at the world. No acting skills needed

Ross_Mahon · 06-08-2008 04:30PM

Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers 3

Its like his acting was worse in the third film than the first, I could do better!

HalloweenJack · 06-08-2008 04:42PM

Gene Hackman in The French Connection.

"A'right, Popeye's here!"

"Hey, haircut!"

"Did you pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?"

"Hand me my pants."

"A'ight, shut up!"

He's such an arsehole. I'd love that role.

Or Christian Bale in American Psycho.

"I like to dissect girls. Did you know I'm utterly insane?"

KnifeWRENCH · 06-08-2008 04:57PM

I AM BEOWULF

Seriously, that's pretty much the only line I'd need to say.
