a meme that a lot of people will post but few will respond...

[thehefner]

You are casting my life. Pick out someone I know, run a Google Image Search on who should play them, and post the picture (erm, this is what the meme says, but you don't need to, just write the name, I'm sure I'll know him/her). You don't have to pick people on my friends list, but it would probably make it easier. And you can't cast yourself. Feel free to not post who you are casting and make us guess.

Actually, anyone who posted here would actually be doing me a bit of a favor, since it'd help me cast my comic. I posted my short list already. Anyone got any better ideas?

If you wanna go the flesh and blood route:



Maggie Gyllenhaal...

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I give up, who're you thinking?

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

um... go with the obvious?

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

maggie's a little older than the person she'd be playing, but only by about 5 years...

[yancentric.livejournal.com]

i think she's going with the tamster..

[ortugatay.livejournal.com]

So I don't know why, but I'm thinking Kirsten Dunst for MelP. Is that good?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I was gonna say Misty, mainly due to the cheekbones but now gawayn's making me second guess. If it is Misty, she'd certainly work, although I hadn't considered her. It'd also be fitting, as she loves "Secretary."

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I dunno, Kirsten seems more perpetually stoned and not adept enough to capture the giddy glee and serious depth of MelP. Still, I'll keep it in mind next time I watch Spider-Man 2.

[ortugatay.livejournal.com]

Yeah I wasn't sure. Appearance wise I think she's close-ish. But acting wise, no clue. Maybe Kirsten Dunst when she was still young and uncorrupted--her Jumanji days.

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

thank you. jesus, was it that much of a stretch? I mean, at least I didn't go with a pic of a redheaded molly ringwald in her mid-thirties.... oh. sorry treyhawk. but you have to admit that age thing would throw most people....

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Maggie? For Tammy? Hmm... she really doesn't come to mind at all, but I will have to see a couple more films of hers with that in mind now.

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

It was more of a looks thing than anything else...

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

remember, we don't have to cast people on personalities they typically play... they are actors after all... most of them are pretty decent at pretending.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Yes, but some are a bit more limited at pretending than others. Sometimes physically (like, Maggie always struck me as kinda tallish).

[morganashkevron.livejournal.com]

Greg Rikaart from The Young & The Restless (yes, a soap opera actor) but it only works if you dye his hair.

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

Alright, I didn't want to do this, but y'all have left me no choice. That's right. I'm getting the band back together...

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

fair nuff...

To me if they can make tom cruise look tall they can probably make maggie gyllenhaal look short. but perhaps not...

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Ha! I love Orson Welles (wait, that is Orson under that photoshopped [or is that Paint?] applied red hair?). All we need is to throw Maggie in there (or my vote, Mena Suivari as she looked in "Loser") and you'll get the whole set.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Heh, very true. Oh, that psychotic brainwashed dwarf...

If Maggie played Tammy, they may have to get the LOTR peoples to hobbitize her.

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's orson. thanks to gawayn for that suggestion. although he didn't want me to paintshop it, but i thought it'd be a little more fun that way.

How 'bout...

[reazik.livejournal.com]

[surrealname.livejournal.com]

Molly ringwald would be the one to use for a person in my stories.

Keep in mind I only ever saw Misty once....

[2sick2pray.livejournal.com]

So this has more to do with vibe than looks:

Re: How 'bout...

[findingjuliet.livejournal.com]

Eldridge!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

For me, you mean? I suppose I can kinda see a resemblance, but then again, in my head I still see myself as Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
