Which actor / actress would you pick to play you?

I was thinking about this randomly the other night and no doubt, it's the type of random question that's already been asked amongst family and friends. So it's nothing special or unique but I thought it would be a fun discussion. So if for some reason, you were in a position to have your life story be made into a movie, which actor / actress would you pick to play you? And why? Is it because you're a fan? They look similar to you? They have a similar personality like you? For me, I found this difficult to even answer myself. I'd love to pick Melissa McCarthy as I'm a huge fan but that is mainly why. I do not know who I'd pick to match my looks or personality. What about you?

I think Helen Mirren, I admire her, she is real, not a fake wax doll with plenty of surgeries to cancel wrinkles.

Funnily enough I've always pictured you as a class act just like Dame Helen.

Dustin Hoffman. When he was younger of course!! Brilliant actor, short and a bit strange looking. Just like me. Apart from the acting bit

Now I know why I cannot see your face in that picture. I would know you are "a bit strange looking". What is strange about your face? Your nose on your head or chin?

That's easy. Whoopie Goldberg with some injections to look younger and shorter.

I don't know. If it's a story about my life, I supose if I could, I'd like the opportunity to play myself. If a part would be perfect for me it would be the role of, well.... me.

@kaylachan Well it definitely makes sense. No one can play us better than ourselves. But I do wonder what it would be like trying to reenact our lives out. It may be fun, hilarious or maybe even traumatic depending on what scene is being reenacted.

There is absolutely no resemblance now, but in my younger days many people would tell me that I looked just like Nicolas Cage. So I guess I would go with him based on looks.

I don't have any favorites. I like aspects of multiple actor/actresses so can I have a "khichdi" as my choice?

@stapllotik I think I've only ever seen one movie of him before. I don't know much about him at all besides his name, looks and his profession. Interesting choice!

Catherine Zeta-Jones. No resemblance (I wish) but I love her accent and she is gorgeous.

An actor to play me, in the movie about me? I would have to review the script first of course! i would have to go with Gene Hackman to portray me!

@DocAndersen I've never seen the word "craggy" before! I got this: "(of a man's face) rugged and rough-textured in an attractive way."

I am really not sure. I think that all of the actresses I might have once really like are not with us anymore, I know my mom always said she resembles two actresses Polly Bergen and Lucille Ball, I think I have Lucy's kind of humor so if she was still around she could play me or Carol Burnett,

I've thought about this before. It would need to be a short actress as I'm not even 5' tall. There's only one I know of that fits that bill. I don't know anything about her or even her name. She plays on a police show. I don't even know the name of the show unless I see it in a TV lineup.
