Default Who would play you in your biopic?

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.

Default Edward Norton.

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/fo...042-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/c...al_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.

So post a picture. Of you, not George. By the way, I think he does not act. He's just George.

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.
