27. damn -- i always choose buscemi to play me in any movies made..
involving my life, but I suppose their should be a limit set on how many East County San Diegans get to choose him in any one thread.

I like him for his sardonic wit and cynicism, but I always say I would like him to play me because of my low self esteem.

44. He'd be a good one for me too.
Physically we're very similar facially about the same too.

PS~ American History X was an amazing film. I wonder why it didn't get 'big"?

21. Sam Kinison, Howard Stern or Andrew Dice Clay.
Not generally known as actors, but if they've been in at least one movie they qualify as such.

34. Ed Asner with hair,thinner&taller
maybe Biff Salsbury or Pee-Wee Herman on acid.A real hunky dude type.....John Kleeb would have to play himself as would most people here because actors can only dive so deep into the roll of a DUer.

I don't know actually. Maybe a more curvy Bridget Jones-ish Renee Zelwegger (but I have nicer eyes I think than she does) or Kate Winslet perhaps.

She's cute, and she's a great actress. And Vincent D'Onofrio would play Skip. Everyone says they look alike.
