Which actor would play you?

It would probably be Steve McQueen. He had that sense of daring. He had inhibition and a rugged toughness that worked well on-screen. And he could snuggle up with all the attractive Hollywood ladies, which is a plus.

My choice would be three different actors: Marlon Brando, Paul Giamatti, and Alan Rickman. I pick them based on my personality type and the types of characters they have all played in various movies. Rickman is my favorite of all those, and we have a lot in common.

Oh, that’s easy. Mary Kate or Ashley Olson. I don’t know, though, if I need to pick an actress that is quirky and interesting looking like I am. Someone mentioned Goldie Hawn. Another person said Sally Kellerman. Maybe I’ll say Madonna. She can do the songs for the movie, too.

It would be Richard Burton as the lead. I’m not sure why. That’s just the first actor that popped into my head. There is a guy that would be in my life story. And Vin Diesel is the spitting image of him. It deals with my years in the TJ jails. He was an American there that protected us. He’s in San Quentin now. Diesel would be a good choice to play him.

It wouldn’t be Charlton Heston. I’d probably go Robert Redford. He could do a good job and wouldn’t need any makeup. I like the idea of a Burt Lancaster. He used to be in the circus. I think Kirk Douglas did that or some sort of things like that. So they would bring a good aspect to the part with those types of skills.

It could be any actor that plays me, really. I don’t have a preference as to which one I’d like for the starring role. But I would want William Shakespeare to write the movie. That way I’d know that my character has all the best lines.
