Who would play you in a movie?
Something totally random to talk about… who would play me in a movie?
I wish I could say it would be somebody all hot and desired by the masses, like Brad Pitt or something. But, I know who I am and know it’d have to be somebody geekier than that.
Thomas always said if I were a woman I’d be:

He called her “Muntz Chick”. I guess I can see the resemblance. She’s pretty hot, I think, so yay me as a woman.
When the show was popular and I had an afro, I was often told I could play this guy’s long-lost kid:

But, since I’m half black that probably wouldn’t go over so well. Sorry, that was too easy.
Thomas also pointed out the guy who probably looks and acts the most like me (well, at least when I was in college and he was on “Undeclared”). His nose looks much bigger than mine in this picture and he probably looks more like the bastard child of me and Nick Palermo (don’t think the blog readers know him — he was a super cool guy I worked with in high school) but his mannerisms seem to be similar at least:

If he had a more raspy voice (maybe Marge Simpson’s voice?) and cussed a lot, that’d work. I can’t really think of anybody else who looks like me, though Troy often tells me I could have been a stand-in for this guy:

Haha, though I don’t see it. I’ve never realized how huge that head band was.
Thanks to my turtle-like posture and my job as a keyboard jockey, I will probably look like this in 25 years:

So, to the five readers out there, who would play you in a movie?
The second I saw this blog title, I thought: “Ralph Macchio.” I’m not kidding!
As for me, the young Tom Hanks, or Pete Sampras, if he was an actor.
My first response to your blog! I’ve been told that I resemble Uma Thurman, although I’m not 6 feet tall. and Chloe Sevigny, although I hope my nose doesn’t look at big as hers.
I wish I could attach pics & I would show you. If I could CHOOSE any person to play me in a movie, I would pick Jennifer Anniston.
Dan – I can see both the young Tom Hanks and Pete Sampras. Maybe a bastard child of the two of them – you seem to act like Hanks, but look more like Sampras. Oh, and thanks for reaffirming the Karate Kid thing. Boo!
Rachel – Uma Thurman I can totally see, except like you said, she’s a good bit taller. I had to look up Chloe and I don’t see that one at all, so maybe it’s her personality or something. Why would you choose Anniston? She’s hot and all, but she seems a bit flighty and that’s not you at all.
For some reason, I have an urge to hit on Rachel.
For the most flattering possibility somebody did tell me recently that I looked a bit like George Clooney. I think it is the premature gray hair and puffy eyes. In reality, I think the best fit is probably Eric Estrada. Unfortunately, though, not in his CHiPs days, but in his old, fat real estate infomercial days.
I guess I would pick Jennifer Anniston b/c she seems cool & I love FRIENDS!
She prob is a little flighty, but she keeps to herself & doesn’t seem crazy like the rest of hollywood, and I think she’s hot.
Casting my movie…
Eric challenged his friends to cast themselves in a movie–who should play me in undoubtedly the most disjointed piece of celluloid this side of a David Lynch film executively produced by Terry Gilliam.
Unfortunately Marlon Brando has left for the…
Hmmm-I’d have to say Mandy Moore. In high school a kid said I looked like Sandra Bullock. I think he just wanted a date though…
