Zoochatters lead more interesting and active lives than most people (let's say for sake of argument this assertion is true). Who should play you in the movie version of your life?

This thread was started at the request of Chlidonias, so we'll start with him. I imagine for young Chlidonias maybe Ryan Reynolds could play him. For middle age Chlidonias Robert Forrester. For old Chlidonias William Shatner (the movie makers will just have to invent the last part of his life as William Shatner likely won't be around when the actual old Chlidonias is).
 
ooh, fun! current me, Michael B. Jordan. in a few years, Idris Alba. older me, Samuel L. Jackson. senior citizen me, Sidney Poitier.
 
Somedays my life is a romantic comedy and occasionally my life is somewhat of an adventure, so I need someone who can handle both and someone compatible to play my lady.

Some prognosticators say that there will eventually be digital versions of the great classic Hollywood movie stars that can give believable performances. When they recreate digital Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn I think that they would be good for the roles.

I distinctly recall saying not Ryan Reynolds! What is your definition of "young" anyway? I was actually thinking Owen Wilson would be good. He looks nothing like me but he always has a totally surprised/bewildered look on his face which is how I feel most of the time :D
 
Hmm . . . perhaps Dick Burbage could have done justice to me, if his main scriptwriter could have fettled a few lines for him. Otherwise Lord Olivier would be very good, if he wasn't quite so dead :(

Javier Bardem with glasses and a beard could be me and my wife would be Penelope Cruz, who actually does have a resemblance to my real soulmate. The soundtrack to my life must be by carlos santana.

Cool! I pictured you to be Antonio Banderas and your wife to be Salma Hayek - or maybe that's my stereotype of all Mexicans after seeing 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico'. :D It's not a bad stereotype though.

Yes, Salma Hayek would certainly make a nice wife, and how can male animal lovers forget her dancing in a bikini with an albino python in From Dusk till Dawn. But Javier Bardem is a much better actor than Antonio Banderas, so why not go for the best.
 
The only one I can think of for me is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. I'd just need to ditch the glasses.

Indeed! That scene is etched into the memories of anyone who likes animals.
