If Hollywood called wanting to write a screenplay for the movie based on your life...who would play the part of YOU?
A better job awaits

Flash appears here
I'd say Bruce Willis or Russell Crowe...not because I think I'm as good looking as either of them, but their characters can be tough/passionate when the situation calls for it, and at the same time have a balanced tender side =)
I would say...Liv Tyler, she looks like me only much better. She is also a very convincing actress. Her performance in LOTR was stellar, sensitive yet strong.
Since the first moment I saw him, I was convinced Kevin James (from "The King of Queens")would make a good, accurate screen version of me.
Having been a projectionist for 42+ years, I have always wanted to see a story written about a lonely, shy projectionist who lives vicariously through the movie images and characters he sees through the portholes of the projection booth-on the giant screen-just out of his reach, day after day, year after year.
I think I would identify most with Robert Morse. (Yes, another era.)

LOL...I can see that!
Don Knotts
Everyone always said I look like Anthony Michael Hall. I'm not sure which is the more insulted party in that comparison...
I say we call Cate Blanchette, and see if she'll come play all of us.
John Goodman

I dunno Taffy, I think Kevin James with a red wig and beard could play you pretty close too (based on looks anyway). John Goodman maybe the older you.
Maybe if he did a movie of my life, Kevin James could do a scene as you too. Or if he did a movie of your life, he could do a scene as me. Weird.
Last week, the guy behind the counter at a Downtown Subway told me I looked like the guy from Never Been Kissed (Micheal Vartan). It was a very awkward moment. I guess he'd get the role though.
I'd say Steve Buscemi. But according to the MyHeritage "find the celebrity in you" online face recognition tool I look like Christoper Reeves. This is kind of funny because awhile back I dressed as his enemy, Zod, for Halloween.
I tried another photo of myself and it said I looked like Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok.
Try it out!
I've heard natalie portman before (but...more specifically Portman in The Professional rather than Portman in the more recent Star Wars incarnations...because I'm fairly certain I will never look my age)

If there was a way to combine Dan Connors, Walter Sobchek, and any of PS Hoffman's characters (sans Capote) it would be spot on for me.
OK Dawn.... you started this. So who gets the call to play your lead?
After reading Ned's use of the celebrity face recognition tool (http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/tryFaceRecognition.php), I couldn't resist trying it out. What a range - Patrick Stewart and Leonardo DiCaprio!
Ummm... any dude in a rubber suit.
Probably Unicorn. I think he's got my accent down.
Whenever I do that facial recognition thing I get very attractive women. What the hell?

Cate Blanchett?

She'd have to go blonde like I did...but, I'd have to say Sandra Bullock. Not that we look anything alike. I just think she could play me as close to ME as possible.
