Who would play you if your life was a movie?
If your life was made into a movie, what actor/actress would you want to play you? Your significant other, your kids, boss, etc. Hey it's slow at work today and I just got back from the eye doctor!!

22. Mr Grumpy is too hot
to be played by Jim Carey. Lets hope he doesn't act like Jim Carey either.

3. Linda Cardellini
She already played the high-school me (I was Lindsay Weir, down to the math team and the stoner friends). I'm sure she could play the adult me as wekk.

8. That is "if your life WERE a movie" - sorry, hurts my ears to say it the
other way. Don't they teach the conditional tense in school anymore?

17. Yes they do....
but sometimes people make mistakes.

Sorry, hurts my ears should be "It hurts my ears... ;-)

~from a Grumpy Social Studies teacher who also teaches tense & the necessity of using complete sentences, but only gently so as not to cramp creative thought.

weight, do lots of bench-presses, grow a moustache and goatee, and speak with an American accent), and Edward Norton, who can play anything, IMO. My wife would be played by the stunning, incomparable Mimi Rogers.

16. Danny Trejo would play me.
My ex wife could best be played by Salma Hayek. My current girlfriend by either Vanessa Williams or Halle Berry (with green contacts).

18. Elizabeth Pena
She doesn't look anything like me, but I love her! In my youth I would have wanted to look like her. My husband could easily be played by an older, bearded Brad Pitt if Brad's IQ were tripled. (Sorry Brad, I love you anyway!) Hum, have you seen the Entertainment weekly photo of Brad in his Troy costume? I could forget the IQ difference for about a hour he if walked into my house dressed like that! <bad girl...badddd girl>

32. ...and you are a teacher too!
Good for you. Teaching isn't the easiest or most glamorous profession, but I love it. The non tangible rewards are far more valuable than a hefty paycheck anyway.

19. Dan Ackroyd, Richard Coyle, Billy West, or Roger Griffiths
Of course, Roger Griffiths is black but he'd get the personality spot-on. :D

If you mix Sigourney Weaver and Tyne Daly from her Lacy days, you'd have it.

31. David Spade
He looks a little bit like me and the sarcastic attitude would do it.

My former love interests would have to be played by Jennifer Connelly, Kirsten Dunst, Halle Barry and Reese Witherspoon.
