I think we all know the answer to this question, much as I might hate to admit it:

Yup, Artie Lange. I have a bit less salt in my beard, but otherwise...not a bad likeness.

Anne Hathaway: Not only is she a gorgeous and talented actress, she is also great at doing a southern accent...which would be key. :)

I feel like Spader might be able to really capture your persona. It's not a perfect physical likeness, but it's close enough.

In terms of capturing both persona and physical appearance, no doubt in my mind it would be Jon Lovitz. He's even got the hairline!

The two biggest names that my coworkers keep calling me are "Ivan Drago" (Dolph Lundgren) and "Arnold" - mostly due to my height, build, and "likeness of a Terminator".

I see that one :) Very good!

Since everyone else has been so good at this, I will have to throw mine in as well in your comment.

Recently, Mike our Product Manager has tweeted that I am a clone of Buddy Revell from 'Three O'Clock High', so, this guy:
http://www.joesportsfan.com/jsfpics/columns/buddyrevell.jpg

I used to get Gladiator all the time -- when I had this haircut and goatee -- which was exactly when the movie came out:
http://bp2.blogger.com/_XAePxwGya7E/R57wWviY9UI/AAAAAAAAAus/F4pHGuvEBKM/s400/russell_crowe2.jpg

And finally Ed Harris, because we both have that 'round head' thing going on:

I've been told my several family members that I should either be played by:

Natalie Portman
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Rgk1LCaY7_Y/R8EwUtCGNrI/AAAAAAAADpM/s5X357kfQ_I/s400/Natalie+Portman.jpg

or Zooey Deschanel
http://www.daemonstv.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/nup_106739_0644.jpg

...they are very kind and flattering people.

But maybe my 2 year-old daughter had it right this weekend. She was staying with my parents all weekend and missing me. But whenever she saw these movie ads come on tv with Rachel McAdams, she kept pointing to the screen and shouting, "MOMMY!"
http://www.myclassiclyrics.com/artist_biographies/Rachel_McAdams_Biography-2.jpg

Yes, my baby thinks I'm Rachel McAdams. Very kind baby. So maybe I should take her advice and cast her. What do you think?

Well, I do like pictures of beautiful women, but in this case, it was your main 'source': Your daughter identifying Rachel as you. That's all the proof you need that she is the closest match.

Update - okay, so I was reading your comments, so this page was open on my laptop. My 2 year-old took one look at the Rachel McAdams picture and did it again. She pointed at the screen and said "Mommy - you!".

Yep, she really thinks I'm Rachel McAdams. I gave her an extra long hug for that.

I love this question. I should be played by Emily Deschanel, and my little sister should be played by Zoey Deschanel.

Us (me on the right)
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2014/2351955211_d8fc0b75a2.jpg

Them
http://www.hsus.org/web-files/Hollywood/184x265_Zooey_and_Emily_Deschanel_Genesis_Awards_06.jpg

My personality is more serious, so Emily's a better choice for me. Zoey comes off, to me, as a bit wilder. Even though my sis is taller than I am. But it would totally be a fun movie about siblings, sibling rivalry and family. One of those quiet little dramadies about life, maybe directed by Penny Marshall.

I believe William Zabka could revive his ailing acting career and win an Oscar for his portrayal of my in a movie titled... "The Dork" which would be so bad that the Academy would nominate it and give it the Oscar as a joke... but nobody would tell William Zabka.
Just for fun.

For me, a quirky, side-character actress. One that is pretty but seldom plays the pretty girl. The actress who plays the best friend to the pretty girl and talks sense into her and supports her, but is never the center of attention. That's kind of me: not unattractive, happy with myself, but never considered the "pretty girl," maybe because I'm just too strange. :) Someone like Melanie Lynskey might fit the bill.

There was a "name 5 people" type quiz on Facebook about this a few months ago. This is a lot of fun.

Here are my pics to play me:

1. Jack Coleman. He's the guy who plays HRG/Noah Bennet on Heroes. He looks a little like me and would bring some gravitas to the role.

2. Christopher Eccleston. You know, The Nineth Doctor and the invisible agent guy from Heroes. He's tall and also looks similar enough to me. He would have to put on an American accent, though.

3. Peter Griffin, just because I think that would be hilarious.
