The people can be Hollywood stars, artists or whomever.
I would choose Rutger Hauer (in his prime). He just beat out Arnold Stang (also in his prime).
Now its your turn.

Tom hanks. I'm tall with an athletic build, and decent looking ( not repulsive) besides he is my favorite actor. Have been told I remind people of Joe Namath, though he is/was a terrible actor so let's go with TH.

I had a nervous breakdown in 2000 which would require a very gifted actor to portray. I went into the downtown Clearwater Emergency Ward rambling about 613 and 224 and then set to actually casting the movie that I wanted made out of my life up to then. This was while four or so people were trying to get a needle into me. I hit one of the nurses who was trying to sedate me but was still very agitated from what had happened over the past two weeks before I had the nervous breakdown. I was basically gaslighted. Fed scenarios by about a dozen people over those two weeks in late March of 2000 which when described to others made me sound like a perfect candidate for paranoid schizophrenia. That's basically why I had a nervous breakdown, no one believed what was happening to me while I went to the three Palm Harbor/Tarpon Springs parks I usually went to back then every day or so for exercise. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/130042-post7.html
I remember wanting Clint Eastwood to direct and I was putting various actors from 2000 into the roles of the nurses and doctors. I will bet that they have all this on file somewhere at that Clearwater hospital. We got bills for these doctors "treatment" of me for years even though I cannot remember any of them actually talking to me about anything.
My 224/ 613 fight was really getting somewhere in 1998-2000 or so. Then I got gaslighted and everything went to crap for about a decade.
This is also what I spoke with the Detective Crandell at the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office about on September 17, 2002. He thought that there was nothing criminal in gaslighting someone but he did seem to believe that this happened to me especially after I gave him two hundred or so of the letters I had received from various victim/witness assistance agencies dating from around 1992 through 2000 or so. I wrote him way too many e-mails though trying to change his mind and kind of got scolded by a Detective Warner, a colleague of Crandell at the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office headquarters.
So, I would probably need someone like Edward Norton to play all this. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/edward_norton/ I have a slight speech problem when upset too because my mom was sick with the flu during my childbirth (2-24-1959). I have always had to work a lot harder than many because of various developmental problems. This is also why Mrs. Barbara Mitchell was so interested in me at Earl Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada before 2-24- 1976. She thought if I really applied myself I could do something but she probably never contemplated just how ambitious, evil, and under-handed some people can be especially when they are trying to cover-up very serious problems in some of their institutions.
I did earn four degrees (BA,BA, MA, JD) mainly because of just how much faith Mrs. Mitchell gave me in myself and I had a couple of very helpful Philosophy Professors at the University of Nevada, Reno; some good friends at the University of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management; and some great friends at the University of Minnesota Law School within Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners, mainly a girlfriend and also another woman who was a mentor.
Who gaslighted me? I really have no idea as I had never seen the people I encountered in those three Palm Harbor/Tarpon Springs parks before and have not seen them since. They were very real though. No John Nash like scenarios here. http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2001/12/a_real_number.html

Someone told me I look like Ruth Gordon (the older Ruth Gordon, not the young one). But alas I think she's dead.

She died almost 20 years ago. Choose again, and George Clooney is taken.

Well, I'd love to say Angelina Jolie but .... Gilda Radner in her SNL heyday is probably more accurate (especially as Roseannadanna) or maybe Lily Tomlin in Ernestine costume. Olympia Dukakis would work and, if I dream really hard and you squint a lot, Helen Merrin.

Julie Andrews!
Loved her in Victor/Victoria http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084865/ which I saw in Reno, NV with my older brother's former girlfriend, Robyn V. S. She was still in town for a while and needed a shoulder to cry on. We went to number of chick flicks as friends.

Sandra Bullock speaks German fluently - YouTube (http://youtu.be/F7QE_RDRGsY)
Maybe, Graciegirl can figure out what she is saying here?? It has been a long time since I studied German so I would need some help. Sandra Bullock sounds like she was speaking this language--German-- since childhood. Guess her mother was a German opera singer.

George Clooney...we are so much alike he wouldn't even need to act.
I got an e-mail from a man claiming to be George Clooney back when I was posting so much stuff on Findlaw about my victims/survivors of crime access to practical information 224 613 project and the dirty tactics I had faced up through then including the gaslighting in the Tarpon Springs/Palm Harbor parks in March of 2000 and my nervous breakdown later that March of 2000. This was around 2002-2004. Vanessa D., was e-mailing me back then. She said she was a Lifetime Production Assistant fascinated by the abuses of psychiatry and was interested in doing a story about me and my work. She seemed very compassionate and intelligent with her questions. George Clooney came on claiming he was the boyfriend at the time of Vanessa D. This Vanessa D., is on Facebook now and is a quite attractive 40ish (now in 2014) Dallas, Texas actress.
I now seriously doubt this ever was George Clooney back then. Probably just Vanessa D.'s wishful thinking. I did send whomever it was quite a lot of information though. I had a nice exchange around the same time with a secretary of Professor Elie Wiesel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elie_Wiesel who just said Mr. Wiesel does not get involved in legal matters as well as novelist Tom Clancy. Tom Clancy had an e-mail address for fans on one of his books and was kind enough to get in an exchange with me. I did tell him to look at Findlaw's message boards but he told me he wanted to hear it from me in e-mails. I did have a particularly nasty cybersmearer on Findlaw's message boards starting around late 2001 or so. Not sure when this Chesterfield County, VA man actually started all his attacks on me but they were pretty much against every post I made on Findlaw's many message boards or it seemed that way. So, Clancy would have had to shift through all those personal attacks on me. The cyberstalker confessed to who he was around 2005. I never could figure out who hated me so much with such animosity to post thousands of attacks on me on Findlaw's message boards from late 2001 through Spring of 2006. Turned out he was some white collar defendant in Chesterfield County, VA who was upset that I could not find some precedent he could use in his pro se legal case to push his defense forward.
Of course, if in some other universe a movie is made about the 224 613 project and its many permutations, there would have to be people playing the Chesterfield County, VA cybersmearer/cyberstalker as well as Vanessa D.

That's a good choice. When I was at Middlebrook Hall on the University of Minnesota Campus a group of students kept on comparing how I looked back then to a certain Russian Czar or Ottoman ruler. I forget which one. I might have been going for a mustache at that time though. And, I was probably 50 lbs lighter than now and had 50% more hair on my head. The picture did look a lot like me though. It was from some history book.
That's me and the lower half of my ex-sister-in-law, Susan M. This is around 1985 while I worked for Information Access Company in Belmont, CA. I did not think it fair to include her image in my postings.

If you understood Chewbaccian, then you would have to agree that Chewy was far more foul mouthed than Ted. Ted, is just a short, fuzzy Baby Boomer who shoots from the hip. Looking forward to the sequel.

I liked the movie Ted. Cannot say I have had enough free time nor am I gifted enough with foreign languages to pick up Chewbaccian or any of the other myriad fantasy languages from various Sci-Fi works.
