Never gonna happen because I'm white and look absolutely nothing like him, but I wouldn't mind having Jam Hsiao play me. Don't know if he's done more than Green Door on Netflix, but I'd still absolutely enjoy it.

Though, if it was animated, I'd want kid me voiced by Cree Summer because she is my all time favorite voice actor/actress.

Some lonely sad miserable and depressed actor

Depp , he’s about the only one that could pull it off.

I want to be played by a dog

My life isn't very interesting, but it'd really spice things up if they had a dog try to do it.

You spent the first few years of your life, catching tail and sniffing butt, winning through life on loveable personality alone, and becoming a loyal and devoted partner, spending your sunset years curled up on a nice seat, watching the kids do their thing and getting occasional head pats from strangers for a life well lived and job well done.

There's no rule that says a dog can't play ~~basketball~~ a person!

:P

Gary Oldman, dude's a chameleon. I'm sure he could find a way to play a mid 30s SE Asian dude

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

On the other hand, if you had Will Ferrel play you, but he and everyone is completely unaware that he is SE asian.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

I'd take him as a second choice if I couldn't get Gary. To muddy the waters a bit I'd try to get Ken Watanabe and Shohreh Aghdashloo to play my parents.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Danny Devito.

...I'm a woman.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I refer to him as Daddy DeVito

... I'm a dude.

Aubrey Plaza. She’s way hotter than me (that’s kinda the point), and not half Japanese (will make the racist parts confusing and/or hilarious) but she could definitely pull off my resting bitch face and general disdain for everything.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ed Sheeran. Specifically because he's not an actor and would stumble through the movie just like I stumbled through life. All ginger, no plan.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All Ginger No Plan - that's an amazing life motto. ;)

Sounds like the name of a stand up comedy special.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Sounds like an orange cat

Cannot stand the guy. Pretends to be humble as fuck. Shoots videos of himself being humble as fuck. Turns up in movies to unnecessarily defocus the scene.
Yeah the guy can sing and has a comfortable body, so does my dog.

For the 5% of my adult life that I’ve had short hair and no beard: Quentin Tarantino. For the rest of my bearded, long-haired adulthood: Steve Burke from Gamers Nexus. But they need to have blue/green eyes and forehead wrinkles.
(Huh. On paper that just sounds like I look like Nick Offerman, but not really.)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

Brad Pitt.

Bit of a downgrade but I can live with it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Nicolas Cage

Looks nothing like, but it would be funny as hell and in order to get him to sign up, they would have to make it somehow trippy and surreal.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm pretty tall, so the logical choice would be Tom Cruise on 12 inch heels.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Three Tom Cruises in a trenchcoat

I want my movie to be cast entirely with Muppets and Tim Walz.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Best answer

Jason Alexander

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, and Gary Oldman. All of them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Everywhere, all at once.

David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, with a made-up face surgery scene mid-film to explain the change.

John Malkovich, I don't know why. I just like him. And I think he would be kind in my portrayal.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

In Soviet Russia, John Malkovich being you.

With your user name I was expecting another answer (and a pretty cool zombie movie)

Karl Pilkington. he would do a great job of complaining about every minor inconvenience I've dealt with

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Zac Efron.

The girl I was crushing on in high school crushed on him really hard as he appeared in High School Musical. I spent wayyyy too much of my youth trying to emulate Zac Efron as a result. Eventually, that whole style just kinda became my whole style. Seems like a good fit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Nice try FBI

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Rowan Atkinson.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I look like a middle-aged Richard Gere, with hair loss. All action on the sides, and nothing on top.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lady Gaga

I bear no resemblance. I can't sing. I just think she's neat.

Adrien Brody.

I'm told, quite often, I look like him. Plus he's a method actor or whatever do we would get to hang out which might be cool. He seems nice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’ve been told more than once that I look like β€œthat creepy Scarecrow guy from Batman Begins.” So I guess Cillian Murphy. I didn’t like looking creepy tho.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They meant hot, but didn't dare say it.

People say I look like Carrie Ann Moss (Trinity) but as a child I had more Lucy Lawless resemblances. So I don't know, but either case they'll have to get a tan cause I'm more of a Penelope Cruz skin tone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Toni Collette or Kathy Bates both horror queens and monarchs of my heart.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Melissa McCarthy, she has a good sense of humor which is great because my life is kind of a joke.
