Which film/ television character is most like you
not physically, but emotionally and psychologically. Did you ever see a film and think, I'm just like that character?

6. Elle from "Contact"
Ok, it's originally from a book, but the way she's portrayed in the movie really resembles me.

24. Twiki wasn't effeminate.
In the first season, he didn't speak at all. In the last season, he was voiced by Mel Blanc, and was rather uncharismatic.

I think you're thinking of Dr. Theopolis, who Twiki used to carry around with him. He was a raging queen.

I kind of think of their relationship as similar to that of a classical Greek scholar and one of his students; Twiki was sexually available to Dr. Theopolis, but only out of a thirst for higher knowledge, not out of a need to fulfil his own gratification.


But on the other hand, Twiki's "hair" was totally faggy. It was like Adam Rich's.

29. Well, strange to say it
But I can't think of any one character who is much like me. On the other hand, I did emulate all my "heroes" to some degree, and a few other characters along the way, so while it really IS a strange combination, I am about 65% Jessica Fletcher, 25% McGyver, and 10% Samantha Carter.
