Jon got everyone talking about Aaron and I doing a movie while in L.A, and which movie stars would play the RBF members. Below are the movie stars you’ve picked so far. If you aren’t yet on the list, who’d play you?

Jon:

Deene: (yum yum!)

“Pink Lady” Dawn:

Karen:

I tell ya. So far, everyone seems to have a much better self-concept than I do because I’m thinking this is who’d play me in a movie:

Here’s some I’m adding from your comments:

Nancy

Jeff

Bill

Beverly

On the advice of Meg Ryan above, I have chosen perhaps a more appropriate actor to play me.

Woo, if those two are Karen and Dawn, both of whom I have met in actual real life, well, then I must be played by Kathleen Turner (of 25 years ago).

smsmh says i look like cary elwes (westley) from the princess bride, and other friends have said eric bana. i don’t see it, but if i had a choice, i’d say cary, just for the comic aspect.

Me? Last year would have been Drew Cary. Or the guy who plays George on Seinfeld, ‘cept with more hair in both cases.

This year, 15 lbs later, maybe Ray from Everybody Loves Raymond.

Next year, another 15 lbs or so – David Duchovny?

Although I’d be happiest if Dave Chapelle were doing it. That guy’s funny. And he loves his kids.

Yep, when I grow up and earn some curves I’d like to be a smoldering hottie like Selma. hehe. But for now the real me would be played by Angelica of the Rugrats and those who know me best would definitely agree.

Hmmm …

Whenever I get my hair cut short, people say I look like Meg Ryan. If I don’t wear my contacts and kind of squint, I see it too. :)

I’ve got flat out nothing for who I might look like. No clue whatsoever. I imagine someone like Johnny Knoxville from Jackass, or some other lower-tiered personality. When I had a shaved head and goatee, people’d say I looked like Stone Cold Steve Austin, the wrestler. Oi.

I’m obviously part ‘boy’ because I’m in love with Meg Ryan…she is so awesome. However, I’m afraid that Jeannine Turner would have to play me just cause we are far more alike…’cept I’m more cherubby than she is. :)
