What role were you born for?

Since I was a police officer and detective for 44 years, I guess I have my choice of just about any cop show on television or the movies.

I have never considered myself to be an actor.

Good question.

Charlie

Multiple people have confirmed that I would have been perfect for that role when I was younger.

Fiddle, and things have not changed for you. I knew, when I was 8 years old, that I wanted to be a police officer.

Super hero.

Or maybe just some sort of radical community leader and teacher. That seems more where it’s going.

I don’t have any good examples in movies, because I don’t watch many movies. For the hero, maybe a cross between Punisher and Captain Planet?

Sir Jimmy of Bondshire. I would have definitely had pussy galore well & truly licked. Being a cunning linguist & everyfum.

I would say the Kung Fu series much like David Carradine and his role. That of being one with the Universe and Nature.

Quint’s underpants. XD

Depends on the day. At any given moment it could be anywhere between “Rainman” (Dustin Hoffman) and “Rooster Cogburn” (John Wayne).

The plaything of a rapacious Amazon. ;-0

The hopeless Romantic.

Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice and I won’t tell you who plays Mr .Darcy, but I would accept Colin Firth if my first choice is not available.

Any of the cranky, quirky female sidekicks in funny movies.

Some sort of a witch a la The Craft.

Lisa Rowe in Girl Interrupted. (Or Nurse Ratched? No, nevermind.)

The role of Jammie played by Jake Gyllenhaal who gets to roll in the hay, on the floor, in the alley with a very naked Anne Hathaway in the movie Love and Other Drugs. WOOF!

Milo here: The MGM Lion, of course.

Anything Betty Davis young or old, but my favorite is Whatever Happened to Baby Jane tehehehe.

“I am Spartacus” :-/
I am destined to lead an uprising but ultimately it will fail, as the powers that be will ultimately conspire against me & destroy me, in order that chaos will continue..
Ya never know…........

Hugo Weavings role in V for Vendetta. It was a very vindictive, calculating and yet sensitive role to play. I could see playing that role. Only they would have to change it to a female role.

Archie, from Gone With the Wind.

Vladimir in Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot.”

@12Oaks: There’s an Archie in GWTW?

@gailcalled Absolutely. Later in the story, he was Katherine Scarlett’s chauffeur/boduguard.

@12Oaks: There’s a chauffeur/bodyguard in GWTW? One drove horses and carriages then, didn’t they? I just double-checked the original cast on Imbd.com

And Scarlett’s father called her “Katy Scarlett” and never “Katherine Scarlett, ” unless I have been watching the wrong movie all these years.

@gailcalled I never saw the movie. All my references are.from the book, which varies slightly. Like Rhett never said Frankly to start that famous quote.

Lawrence, from Office Space

@cockswain Fuckin’ A, man!

Courtney Cox in Cocoon 2. Petite, brunette, slightly geeky scientist type.

Just saying.

Oh yeah, and I’d like to be the young Roy Rogers in any of those great ‘40s-‘50s shoot-‘em-ups.

A girl once told me I reminded her of a character named “Charlie” from John M. Cusick’s “Girl Parts”.

When I was a kid, I would have been a great “Scout” in “To Kill A Mockingbird”. Now it would be Professor McGonagal in the Harry Potter movies.

Reese Witherspoon’s character in Freeway .

Miss Kitty in Gunsmoke- loved her as a kid. There was a movie as well as tv. Or any cranky, bitter old woman.

Hermione Granger.

Eli Wallach in “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly”

Hmm…For a movie…I can’t say…But musically…Drummer= my destiny! yepp…Life can be good

@Austinlad You mean you aren’t?

Janabb, right now I’m more like his sidekick—goofy Pat Brady.

As I can relate to being the chubby girl with talent but overlooked for a skinny girl with less I think Effie White in Dreamgirls.
