Today's chat, which by the way was really fun, made me have this idea.
Since we have been tossing around the idea of posting pictures, let's cast ourselves with celebrities. I have done this with many of my friends and we all know what we look like. In this case, it would give us sort of an idea of how you see yourself and your personality. So this is the idea:
Cast yourself as if there was an actor playing you in the film or television show version of your life. You can choose a film or television actor, living or deceased or anyone, that resembles you in both appearance and personality. If one doesn't do than pick two, one to represent each.
Be honest. This is sort of how we can picture you... so choose well! I look forward to your responses ;D

This sounds fun Zan!
"Hiding on the edge of a Dream" starring Tom Cruise as Doug New.
When I was younger, many people commented on the resemblence, although a current picture couldn't be more different.
If you are interested, I'll post a picture of when I was an apprentice professional footballer with Fulham FC at age 16. Maybe you'll agree.

Oooh, good idea. Can we post picture's of the celebrities though rather than just picturing them in our heads?

I thought I had already posted here.  Anyway my character would be Alan Rickman in " Die Hard", not that I am a murdering thief  , but I multi-task, call the shots and manipulate situations cleverly/  There is also a strong resemblence. Other apperance clues (since I don't have a digital pic of myself yet) are Eric Clapton and Danny McIntosh, The later of whom Kate found quite attractive.  I'm prettier 'tho. |

Al, are you "man pretty"?   Hey Xan, you didn't say who you look like! I look the most like Andrea Evans (soap queen) but my ex-boyfriend would insist I be played by Courtney Love! |

It's really wonderful that you have seen the spirit here and jumped in! And Lori, of course you can post a picture, especially if we can't picture the celebrity, or to show a specific role or character. New, so Tom Cruise. I actually had a face mold of him in my hands recently. Pretty creepy, like a death mask. I think there was a time he was attractive when he was young, but not very special now. An old football picture, that woudl be fun. Maybe we could all use very young pictures if ourselves. Bot for Lori, Sto', and RT, that would be toddler age! Al, ALAN RICKMAN! That's great! I'm glad you came up with someone so original. With beard or without? I'm sure you don't have that amazing British accent though I have seen him in so many films, most recently I really liked Blow Dry. I just rented The January Man on DVD. I haven't seen that one in a while. Eric Clapton, when? Danny McIntosh, now you're really trying... Sheila, I may be the only one here who knows Andrea Evans. Tina from One Life To Live, right? Is that the right image? She had very sexy eyes, don't you think? Well, as for me. I have actually been mistaken for this person a few times recently, am about the same age/build/hair color/personality/etc., and the show resembles my life (sort of). All my friends and family even have fun watching this show and commenting on how it uncanny it is. I'm not quite sure yet how I feel about it. If I can't think of anyone else, I'll use that. There are a few others, but she really is the absolute closest person though... I'm anxious to read what some more of you think! ;D |

Phew! Thank God we can post pictures! I had absolutely no idea who I would compare to, so I asked a friend. Apparently I look like Ryan Harper, who used to be on UK tv a few years ago (apparently) in some sort of soap. I'll post a pic of me too. I don't know... you can decide for yourselves Ryan Harper:  Dan:  ...don't personally see the resemblance  |

Xan, I'm confused. Are we supposed to guess whom you resemble or did I miss something in your post? Yeah as far as Andrea Evans is concerned you are thinking of the right person. I look like her because I have round cheeks, big pale blue eyes and kind of a smallish mouth.

Xan, I'm confused. Are we supposed to guess whom you resemble or did I miss something in your post? No, how could you guess. I was just thinking about it for a while. So, the star is Helen Hunt and the show is Mad About You. |

Al, are you "man pretty"? Hey Xan, you didn't say who you look like! I look the most like Andrea Evans (soap queen) but my ex-boyfriend would insist I be played by Courtney Love! I'm not 'metrosexual,' if that's what you mean.  I'm just able to find myself attractive. (Blue eyes and long eyelashes. :-)) I don't think I've seen Andrea Evans in anything; but I can see the Courtney Love thing. ;D Zan, I love Helen Hunt. I wasn't fond of the Paul Riser character tho'. I liked her a lot on "St Elsewhere"and in "As Good as it Gets" You could probably pass more easily for LeeLee Sobieski maybe? She looks a lot like Helen Hunt only younger. Don't you think? |
