If you could be any character in any tv show or movie who would you be and why? Right now I would be Paul from the HBO show 'In Treatment.' Not only am I addicted to that show as I was with 'tell me you love me' before it(HBO has some good shows), but a part of me wishes I had become a psychologist. Stupid undergraduate decision I made. Anyway, answer the question if you wish.

you want to be a man whose wife has so little regard for him that she announced that she was going on vacation with her lover, leaving paul with the kids on short notice?

i like the show but he is pretty clueless in his own life.

and if you want to be a psychologist you should go for it, life is too short to miss out on your dreams.

I would like to be Abby on NCIS. All those toys and she gets paid to play with them.

Arnie, erm, I mean, Conan the Barbarian.

I would be Gandalf without a doubt. Think about it, wouldn't you want the ability to hurl someone across the floor? (admit it, you want to)

the "man" was "born" old.

maybe galadriel, at least she got a bit of a life before she became queen of loth lorien.

Sauron.

not melkor?

If you could be any character in any tv show or movie who would you be and why?
hmmm...

toss up between...
Cupid... from the T.V. Series "Charmed"
able to slip between the seconds and read people's hearts and minds to get the 'perfect matches' together.

Jack... from She Spies.
working with three beautiful ex-cons in a clandestine organization dedicated to ridding the world of evil-doers?... oh yeah.

I'd be V. I want his flair for drama and his rad alliteration skills.

Sauron.

ZOD!

Now, kneel before me!

Sawyer from Lost, no one is as badass as Sawyer.

Love the way after he's been screaming in pain after being tortured and says in that beautiful accent 'No, Don't stop now, I think my sinuses are clearing!'

Plus he can charm any woman in the world into bed.

i do not know why josh holloway hasnt been a big star before now. he is the sexist blond man on tv.

The Silver Surfer, I think.

Superman.

*uses Red solar machine/anti-Phantom Zoner crystal of the House of El*

Sayanora, Zoddie boy.

Adamantium laced skeleton, super healing, awesome claws... what's not to love? :D

Magneto.

Damn right, I'm straight and i'd do Sawyer.

Magneto.

i'll kick your ass

maybe galadriel, at least she got a bit of a life before she became queen of loth lorien.

considering the look she gave in RotK as she boarded the white ship... she still got a bit of life in her. ;)

I change my mind.

Tsuyoshi Yamada from Densha Otoko (http://imdb.com/title/tt0481035/).

a Geek who ends up dating a rich, beautiful woman who accepts him for who he is... geekiness and all.

that and his anime and toy collection... *Moi!*

Damn right, I'm straight and i'd do Sawyer.

QFT

Walker Texas Ranger.

the "man" was "born" old.

no thanks

Born? Old? Not quite.
Being of divine form and possessing great power, the Maiar could wander the world unseen or shape themselves in fashion of Elves and other creatures; when wearing a mortal guise their bodies could be killed, but their spirit would live on.


So he COULD have made himself as a young(Or old, or middle aged) Hobbit, Elf or even a dwarf.
Walker Texas Ranger
NO ONE CAN HANDLE THE POWER OF CHUCK NORRIS!!!! NO ONE!!!

for TV shows i would love to be Lenard from The Big Bang Theory

from a Movie i would love to be Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice

NO ONE CAN HANDLE THE POWER OF CHUCK NORRIS!!!! NO ONE!!!

I would beg to differ, but differ begs to Chuck Norris.

Sanjuro would be alright, I suppose.

Natalie Portman's under clothing. Oh what a heavenly job that would be! :D

Superman...I would take over the world...

Born? Old? Not quite.

So he COULD have made himself as a young(Or old, or middle aged) Hobbit, Elf or even a dwarf.


do you not understand the usage of quotation marks in the way i used them?

the fact remains that he was "born" old and never took the form of a young man, a hobbit, an elf or a dwarf. that was not his mandate.

Natalie Portman's under clothing. Oh what a heavenly job that would be! :D

There is a possibility that it could get pretty dirty. Though I suppose you are into that sort of thing..

Eh, in my imaginary world, girls are never dirty. It all works out. :)

Eh, in my imaginary world, girls are never dirty. It all works out. :)

So your happy imaginary world is Heaven/Hell? ;)

I have no idea where I was going with that joke there... seriously, it all worked out until I typed it.

Let me list my thought process.
-world where girls are never dirty = a hell
but then I thought dirty girls probably would end up there
so I put Heaven.
But then I thought people would suppose I meant Heaven as a sort of Paradise, which it would most certainly not be in girls were never dirty.

So your happy imaginary world is Heaven? ;)
Darn you. Know I have to rethink this whole thing out.

-thinks-

Okay, I wish I could who ever it is that gets to make sweet love to Natalie Portman, on or off screen :p

Yeah, I quoted you when it said hell, but then the quote actually came up heaven,and I was confused. But oh well. Naughty dirty girls are fun. Disgusting dirty girls are not. :)

Can't argue with that.

Exactly! It's like you read the mind I never had.

The best thing about being me... There are so many "me"s.

Hank Moody from Californication. All these superheroes and barbarians would try to fight Hank Moody, but he would just blow smoke in their faces and say he screwed their wives. Then they'd go home crying and Hank would write a bestselling novel about what pansies they were.

You want to be Hugo Weaving?! He is everywhere! From V for Vendetta, to The Matirx to LOTR! Good actor I must say ;)

You want to be Hugo Weaving?! He is everywhere! From V for Vendetta, to The Matirx to LOTR! Good actor I must say ;)

He really is. He did a great job as Smith. My favorite line of the whole Trilogy is this in Revolution

Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more that your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?

The way that Hugo Weaving delivered that line, it was just perfect! No other actor could've delievered that line better than he did.

Thundar the Barbarian...or Michael Knight

He really is. He did a great job as Smith. My favorite line of the whole Trilogy is this in Revolution



The way that Hugo Weaving delivered that line, it was just perfect! No other actor could've delievered that line better than he did.

Seriously Wilgrove, you post that same line from The Matrix like once a month...

Hank Moody from Californication.
Thank you. Why did it take that long for someone to mention the guy? He drives a 911 and doesn't give a shit the light's been smashed.

Alternatively that idiot that Claire started to go out with on Heroes. What a tool, but I'd still rather like to be in his place.

Goku from Dragon Ball Z




all that power...seriously You could hold the planet for ransom!

If this were a "most like", I'd say Rogue. Probably for the best that it's not.

From TV, maybe Bette from The L Word. Powerful, gorgeous... and I'm convinced she will one day end up with Tina.

Or Inara from Firefly/Serenity. Totally Inara. Same reasons. Powerful, gorgeous.. and she eventually has to end up with Mal. (in my fantasy world, that is. How I wish it hadn't been canceled.)

Seriously Wilgrove, you post that same line from The Matrix like once a month...

Hey, I was having a friendly discussion with Zilam, you are more than welcome to skim over my post or block me.

I guess I'll be one of the Transformers, I'll wipe out everyone! :D

Scorpius? :confused:

I consider Scorpius to be an inspirational role model.

So you want to be a Power Rangers villian? :P

ZOD!

Now, kneel before me!
Where is that guy, anyway?
*looks around*

Scorpius? :confused:Yeah, you know .... Homer's really cool boss at that new job he left town for.

Okay, I wish I could who ever it is that gets to make sweet love to Natalie Portman, on or off screen :pYesohyesohyes!
Weird to hear something straight from you for a change! :p

Or Inara from Firefly/Serenity. Totally Inara. Same reasons. Powerful, gorgeous.. and she eventually has to end up with Mal. (in my fantasy world, that is. How I wish it hadn't been canceled.)
You SO rock. *bows*

I'd be V. I want his flair for drama and his rad alliteration skills.
Fuck yeah. And his omelettes.

So, without further ado,

Arthur Dent in the film version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

...not because the film was particularly good, but because it means I've already got Zooey Deschanel (http://www.girlskickbutt.com/images/girls/zooey_deschanel/zooey_deschanel_020.jpg) all to myself. :p

Yeah, you know .... Homer's really cool boss at that new job he left town for.

I thought Scorpius was Draco Malfoy's son :D:headbang::headbang::headbang:

Jack Aubrey/Russell Crowe in Master and Commander. Nice boat, man's man, ladies' man. Eh, kind of a lateral transition, but then I'm not a big dreamer.

Yeah, you know .... Homer's really cool boss at that new job he left town for.

That was Scorpio.

yuck, i can't think of any in anything mainstream i'd even want to watch let alone be. hmmm. maybe laneer from b5 or something like that.

the guy with the funny shaped back of his head, not the mushroom slug guy or the navigator but the other alien guy who was always getting layed by the hot alien chick in timescape maybe. (i don't remember any of their names)

spock on the old first star trek series, that was who i most closely related to.

maybe shad from berry longyear's a.b.c.devison stories. gnaw, not really, but that's a good one, but that's written stuff. hmmm, maybe one of the ewoks from empire strikes back or something.

that token human in cherreh's chenure series i sort of totally relate to. and i'm in love with hilfy too.

oh alex from ship who searched, i just got done reading. blarg, sorry, all of mine are from literary sciffy pretty much. most of media is pretty dismal, what i've ever seen of it. i suppose barbarella, for a gender switch and i liked that trippy ship of hers.

actually i could go on and on, many from litterary speculative fiction. i'm just not into the mundaneness of mainstream media blecch.

there's a media charicter from an anime drama that exists only in a dream i once had, he was an anthro fox called klicken, who was a kind of cross between napolion solo, remington steel and james bond, only he was freelance. he went arround finding out dirty little secrets of governments of all sorts and passing them on to friendly people in or who could get into, power by knowing them, who could and would quietly do something about them. of course every government spy agency in the world was after his hide, but they never can catch up with him, because he's always got a plan b through z and beyone, laid in place and prepaired in advance, and lots of friends among us common folk whome he'd helped in the past, all that sort of thing.

the pseudo-consevatives of every idiology of course invariably lable him a so called terrorist, though his never killed or destroyed anything, threatened, or even attempted to. but of course you can see why.

kind of like a robin hood of sensitive information.

too bad the only place i've seen it was on a tv that was on in a supposedly empty and available apartment that was carved out of the trunk of a tree, in a dream in which there were a whole lot of other things going on as well.

well charles cogsworth i sort of relate to, and dusty scroggins, but these were charicters in litterary speculative fiction as well.

ah, maybe yoda. yah, i can kind of relate to yoda. not totally though.
but that place where he was living on dagoba in empire strikes back is my idea of cool, only if it were more up in the forested mountains but definately on a world i wasn't born on so the insect pests wouldn't try to bite me because they could smell i was too alien to do them any good to do so.

but then the whole bit of a world i wasn't born on having an atmosphere i could breath without and environment suit or at least some sort of filter pack, i think that's pretty much pure hollywood and way past unlikely.

=^^=
.../\...

Fuck yeah. And his omelettes.

So, without further ado,
http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/c/c1/Q_(Star_Trek).jpg

In that case, I'll be the first to mention Q. :D

Or Inara from Firefly/Serenity. Totally Inara. Same reasons. Powerful, gorgeous.. and she eventually has to end up with Mal. (in my fantasy world, that is. How I wish it hadn't been canceled.)

I was already going to choose Mal, and that scenario only sweetens the pot.

But back to Mal, he's just a badass. First episode, crew's being held hostage at gunpoint. Before the guy even finished talking, Mal shot him in the head as if it was routine, without even breaking stride.

That, my friends, is why Mal kicks ass.

not melkor?unfortunately, he's not been in a movie yet. but once that happens i'll change my pick. ;)

oh, and josh holloway is ugly.

Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard) in "Brief Encounter".

Just for the excuse to hang around stations and go to Africa.

Stephen Colbert.

Sheriff Jack Carter in Eureka, partly because that town is awesome and partly because I'd like to think that if I wasn't a geek and got into IT then I would have become a cop instead. Or maybe Douglas Fargo in the same series.

Rodney McKay in Stargate Atlantis would be my third choice, well yes he is an obnoxious and self centered person but he has the most awesome job.

Well... Amélie Poulin, from Amélie. She rocks!!
http://www.universohq.com.br/cinema/images/amelie.jpg

i'll kick your assUntil he pulls the adamantium from your skeleton, that is.:p

I'd be Eddie Hitler.:)

unfortunately, he's not been in a movie yet. but once that happens i'll change my pick. ;)

oh, and josh holloway is ugly.

oohhhh yeah good answer.

you are sooooo not gay. josh has a slightly funny shape from working out but he is extremely good looking.

Withnail?

Guiseppe/Jose from Gunslinger Girls.

She has little regard for him because thats the way she is, its not his fault.

and if you want to be a psychologist you should go for it, life is too short to miss out on your dreams.
If it were only that easy. I don't have the money for that sort of endeavour.

Hey, I was having a friendly discussion with Zilam, you are more than welcome to skim over my post or block me.

I didn't say it was a bad thing, It's a good line. I just noticed you're kinda obsessed with that one line from the movie...

Him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atticus_Finch) or when I'm feeling particularly spirited, him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones).

In that case, I'll be the first to mention Q. :D

Of course ... but not LeStat? :p

That was Scorpio.

No, that was Al Pacino. Which is okay i guess, since he was "the" "Devil" in some flick with Neo.
Something about incest and an undulating mural.

It's like you read the mind I never had.

Better watch out for that jazz. *looks around suspiciously*

Anyway, answer the question if you wish.

Someone's probably already said this, but MAN is that guy messed up. I mean, I love 'In Treatment' too, but sometimes he does stuff that just makes me cringe. It worries me that people will think this is what 'real' therapy is like.

Hmmm. I don't have time to think through ever movie/tv show I've ever seen, but off the top of my head I'll choose Brian Fucking Kinney, from Queer As Folk, because it would finally fulfill my dream to be a gay man who gets to have sex with Randy Harrison. :p

wolverine.

Adamantium laced skeleton, super healing, awesome claws... what's not to love? :D

The constant heartbreak? The haunted past that keeps coming back to torture him? The UST with Scott Summers?

Him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atticus_Finch) or when I'm feeling particularly spirited, him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones).

Oh how I love To Kill a Mockingbird! Such a wonderful book. :)

Him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atticus_Finch) or when I'm feeling particularly spirited, him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones).

Made of win.

Movies:

Alexander Kerner in Good bye Lenin! I love all the stuff he does to make his mother believe they're still in East Germany. and when the bust of Lenin flies over, hilarity.

Jason Bourne. He is made of pure win and epicness. The fight scenes are superb as well as most anything in the movie.

Turkish of course.

T.V.

Lip Gallagher from Shameless I don't know, he's my fav character in the show.

Danny Blue from Hustle. I love his life, style and personality. I love his cockiness and the way he messes up but still manages to look cool doing it.

and Homer's boss was Hank Scorpio. I loved when he's talking and he was like "In fact, I didn't even give you my coat!" and then homer isn't holding the coat and scorpio is wearing it backwards on his front.

Goku from Dragon Ball Z




all that power...seriously You could hold the planet for ransom!

uhh...more like hold the UNIVERSE at ransom! Seriously, by the end of Z he had defeated a demon that was designed to kill God!


If I had to pick a TV character that I would like to be... I'd want to be Titus Pullo from the HBO series "Rome". For a number of reasons

-He was a Roman legionary, some of the toughest hombres in the history of warfare

-He got to murder politicians! (number 1 reason in my book... I know plenty of politicians that could use a good dagger in their gullet)

-He slept with Cleopatra VII! Most famous hottie in history!

-He was convicted for murder, but the people forgave him because of how awesomely he took out those gladiators in the arena!

-He smashed a man's face into a pillar just because

-He thought it was hilarious when he poured wine down the crack of a prostitute's ass while he was being serviced by her

-He was chums with Caesar -freaking- Augustus

-He murdered his best friend's sappy, girly, whiny brother in law!

Titus Pullo was awesome on a Chuck Norris-eque level

Han Solo FTW
