I'm not sure who I should go with.

I keep thinking Brian O'Halloran, although he's 15 years older, a bit whiny and has less gray hair than I.

None other Cold
but I figured any actor who would want to play me and honestly looked
like me would find it too unchallenging.

Just loved Macy in magnolia, drunk in the bar scene, I easily
saw my self in that character

but in fargo, which i saw only recently, I was astonished
...its supposed to be funny in a far off way only the cohen
brother could do and it works, but in magnolia he's deliberately
pathetic,a nd its not very funny to watch

we are all individuals, so nobody could ever really play anybody else.

that said, i probably relate most to michelle pfeiffer, because she is physically powerless.

still, i think she shows there are other attributes that are worthwhile, maybe not in a survival of the fittest sort of way, but nonetheless.

Actually I think I should be played by KITT from Knight Rider.

I mean, most of you just know me as a voice on the computer anyway , so I might as well be a Trans Am.

I would cast "Big Trouble in Little China" era Kurt Russell to play me. He totally captures my rugged, devil may care, yet altruistic thing down to a T.

That was a cool movie. I like the idea of a hero with just one skill: To catch stuff that comes at him really fast...and truck driving.

It's a comedy classic. A truly underrated film. I named my futon in college the pork chop express.

The only thing I rememember about
Big Trouble in Little China
is that it was not a good year that year for me when it was released.
And I know of only one other good trucking movie from memory.

--
I remember going to see Miracle (about the Soviet hockey team)
and I remember how surprised I was to see the level of emotional
involvement Kurt lent to the screen, as prepared as I was to
settle in to view a really good film, I wasnt prepped at all to
be moved to tears. Im sure its a sentiment many men feel, which
he no doubt tapped into and spoke to. Its such a totally good
film. I read about him in hunting/fishing magazine and hes really
the real deal.

but gee shivers thanks alot! Never even heard of
Mason Reese before

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Mason Reese (born April 11, 1965 in Los Angeles)[1] was a child star in numerous television commercials in the 1970s, particularly for Underwood Deviled Ham. He was somewhat overweight and spoke with a slight lisp, making him a very recognizable figure. He has not performed much since the 1970s.

He was the subject of the song "Mason Reese" by Alice Donut on their 1988 debut album, "Donut Comes Alive". The song reflects on what happens to former child stars.

Reese appeared as himself in a 1990 short film directed by Brett Ratner called "Whatever Happened to Mason Reese?." [2]

but if Burt Reynolds ever wanted to play me Im sure he could always locate a toupee. And yah bet lotsa guys wish they had as much babe
appeal as Luke Perry

He's all that as Im sure they say.

Burt Reynolds? I think not. Maybe Allan Alda on a heavy flow day.

Meant to rent L'Auberge Espagnole once but didn't seem to have as much nudity in it as I typically expect when I have to read subtitles... ;-)

Big Trouble in Little China is a classic. I miss that Kurt Russell. The new one is way too serial.
