Fruhead Movie

If there were a movie about Fruheads is there someone you think would be perfect to play you? Who do you think should play other Fruheads? I've talked about this with some friends and the really popular choises are.

Me - Woody Allen (Yes he's 20 years older than me and looks nothing like me. Everyone thinks he's perfect though.)

Kat - Kirsten Dunst

Carey- Alyson Hannigan.

Everyone else seems to be up for grabs. There's no consensus.

If Sheryl is to be believed, Juliette Binoche would play me. :) Of course, MyPaul thinks I look like Holly Marie Combs. Something about the mouth. I don't know. Then of course, lots of people say I ACT like Jordan from Real Genius so maybe that actress could play me. And my friend at work used to call me Willow because I talked like her a lot but the actress is already cast for Carey. :)

Take yer pick! I'm easy!

Paul B would have to be played by Ghandi. On crack. :) Er, sorry, private joke. :)

Hmmm...I wanna be played by either Camryn Manheim or Cybil Sheppard. They don't look anything like me and Cybil is considerably older, I just think they rock. :)

I have no idea who you'd cast that you could say looks like me. I've heard Kathy Bates but I'm not really a big fan...

hmmm... is the chick who played Blossom still working?? If not, Angelina Jolie.... bahahahahahaha....

Mayim Bayalik? coooooool. ;)

You are a real fruhead so the talent search is on. Who would you like to play you? We really couldn't think of anyone perfect.

heh!..hmmmm who to play Jaci...
Megan Fellows!
yeah!
~J~

dunno who megan fellows is, but after watching 'less than perfect' again last week, i -so- think that sara rue would make a -great- jaci. she's funny, spirited, and has that -great- red hair. plus she works the sassy-girl thang.

yup.

popular was such a GREAT guilty pleasure show. too bad it kind of disappeared without a trace!!! i'm with ya, jaci! :)

Last episode I ever saw had Leslie Bibb's character (I forget character names) get hit by a car, or nearly -- it wasn't shown. was there a conclusion to that?

-- Pauley

You tell me. And don't say Emma Caulfield, we all know that doesn't work on *so* many levels...

Gella will be played by Anne Hathaway!
gee, I'm good at this!
~J~

If we wait a few years to make the movie the kid who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter films would make a great Gella.

Doggone it--that's an inspired casting decision if I've ever heard one.

I think drew barrymore would be a great fit to play me. the drew with red hair ofcourse!

hmmm who would be me?
I was thinking of a blond Debra messing.. she has my spunk..
but Gweneth Platrow IS my birthday twin.. but I don't know about her.. any ideas?

Yeah, i think if she were blonde.. but even -she- doesn't quite have Frulie-spunk!

*blush* heh!
~J~

Michael=Philip Seymour Hoffman!
what do you think?
I just love them both! :)
~J~

A bunch of people lately have told me I look like Renee Zelweiger (sp?) so probaby her. Also,

John Stamos (or Jon Lovitz) = Jian

I'm -really- not sure who should play me! Any ideas, James?

She's too old but I can see Molly Ringwald as you. Maybe you can take over for her in Cabaret while she is filming.

Oooh! Sounds good to me! :)

I can do Cabaret, -easily-, pfft. ;) :)

yeah, I was thinking Molly or Jamie Pressly (with a hair change to math whatever eri looks like now! ;) heh)

Someone's going to have to tell me who Jamie Pressley is, sorry....

And Frulie, the latest hair is the black in my profile. ;)

she was in Ten things I hate about you:

http://us.imdb.com/Name?Pressly,%20Jaime

she's purrdy!
~J~

Look again... 10 Things does not appear, although you may find her in Joe Dirt, Tomcats, Can't Hardly Wait, and Poison Ivy: The New Seduction. She was also in "Jack and Jill" on the WB with Amanda Peet.

-- Pauley

Yeah, I like Alyson Hannigan for me, especially in old-skool Willow days. I also like Kathy Najimy as Shelly (Shell's choice), Seth Rogan for Neal, and David Schwimmer for Lawrence. Heeeee. David Schwimmer. :)
And if we're going to have bands show up in this movie, Dave Foley needs to play Paul Sabourin from DVN. Amen.

Staying on the Buffy tip, I could see myself played by Nicholas Brandon. Or maybe Brian Austin Green from 90210.

hee! i can see nicholas brendon; i've always thought you and gella would be a great xander and anya for "i'll never tell." :)

heh..man, i SO need to find that notebook with our original cast, don't i?? *g*

i've gotten corroboration{sp?} on kathy najimy as me from 3 others, so *shrug*. i've seen a pic of seth rogen, like, once, but if care says he's neal, then i highly endorse it. and WOOOOT on the david schwimmer for lawrence and AMEN to dave foley as paul!!!!

since he made his silver screen debut in my big fat greek wedding, does that mean joey fatone would be gregory???

oh...and there was also the ob-vi-ous choice of david hyde pierce for norg. and i think janeane garofalo would be a GREAT melissa.

and lest i be *thwapped*, i think sarah rue from 'less than perfect' would be a great jaci.

are we still thinking aboot the band-swapping???

I forgot David Hyde Pierce for Norg. That is perfect. I agreee Jeneane Garafolo would be a great Melissa.

Ohhhh, yes, David Hyde Pierce... I think he can even sing! :)

joey fatone *is* gregory! no question about it. and i don't believe i forgot about david hyde pierce. oh, i like melissa's own suggestion that she be played by lisa kudrow with a blond wig. :)

*grin* I just have to toss in an "I love Joey!!!" here.

That is all. :)

David Hyde Peirce? Are you nuts? Think Brad Pitt. He could do it! DHP would be much better use as Dave-o anyway.

brad pitt as norg??? i mean...is brad that -worthy-????!!!! *g*

i can see your suggestion of DHP as dave-o, but i -still- maintain that he should be norg.

if there is still the band-switching thing, i think robbie schaefer should be dave-o. quiet, bald, intense guitar guys.

mmmmmmmmmmm................

No no no. In that case it would be David Nields. He's even named David. :) Oh and in case anyone was thinking it, Russell Wolff does not qualify! :)

Janeane Garafalo is definitely one of the possibilities for me - as is Lisa Kudrow (as Carey pointed out, below).

Let the record show that my answer to the question "What celebrity do you most resemble?" is usually:

Laura San Giocomo (Maya from "Just Shoot Me") meets the sister from Dirty Dancing.

No one has ever agreed with me.

I love Just Shoot Me but to me Laura San Giocomo will always be the actually pretty woman in the film Pretty Woman. Julia Roberts is not pretty.

Laura San Giocomo is also Nina from the movie "Nina Takes a Lover" - sounds bad, but it's actually a really sweet film.

everyone is less-annoying-than-andie-macdowell

(Here I am, all over this conversation, pointing out obscure appearances...)

How about as Nadine Cross from Stephen King's "The Stand"?

-- Pauley

i dont know who would play me.... would said individual have to play erica too? it would be like haley mills in the parent trap.... hmmmm.

i call Tina Fay from SNL

oooh eica that's a good one. i would have said jeanne garafolo, but someone already took it. love, help me. who'd play me?

I would be willing to trade Janeane Garafalo for Tina Fey... especially if you threw in a Jimmy Fallon. And, I bet I could sneak a Ben Stiller into the deal.

as tempting as that sounds i can't give up tina fay she wears red boots just like me! and we have the same glasses!

pbbbt. but still, who is going to play me? *sobs*

In the SNL mode, how about Julia Sweeney? Or Molly Shannon?

like i said you will play you

i'd have to be played by that hugely irritating english actress who plays emily in friends, because a) i'm english, b) i'm hugely irritating :D and c) whenever i introduce myself to people they say, 'oh. you look like an emilie... wait! it's emily from friends! you look like her!' :P (note: this has happened on more than one occasion. it's the nose.) :D

That would be Helen Baxendale. Yes I'm depressed that I know this.

...but I think that Bruce McCulloch is probably the closest match for me. We have the height thing in common, and I've had a couple of people tell me we sound alike. He'd need a wig, and some facial hair, but otherwise he'd work.



Oh, and let's throw the Lads into the mix

David Hyde Pierce --> Dave (if you have any doubts, watch the friday the 13th ep)


John Stamos --> Jian


I'm not sure about Fordy or Murray though...

hmm...looking back over the posts, maybe we should just give the movie to David Hyde Pierce as a one man show.

The scary thing is, I think he might be able to pull it off...

Gary Sinise as Mike, he could perfect the evil stage-stare...

gary sinise as fordy?? wowsa!! i -can- see that.....even visually...

{though now i have visions of fordy as 'lt. dan' in forrest gump in my head....}

totally!! I can see Mike chomping s cigar with a disgusted look on his face and throwing liquor bottles across a hotel room

I think Catherine O'Hara should play me, and Barry Miller should play my husband... both in their younger days I suppose (like Home Alone for her and Peggy Sue Got Married for him), but hey if we can get a Fruhead movie made, we can probably turn back time as well. :) Dorrie, I'm afraid, would have to play herself. There is no substitute.

M

I vote Jeff Goldblum for me.

You on stilts maybe.

Joke. :D

*sniff*

Fine then Danny Strong.

Well, that's overdoing it a bit, don't you think? :)

ooh, i'd like jeff goldblum to play me. hehe:D okay, so he's a bloke, but if anything, it would make things a little more interesting :D

There is a Danny Strong lookalike in one of my classes. He just grew a mustache and beard so maybe there is hope for Danny too.

mmmmmindiandannystrong.

yes, whew! :)

Awww, well -I- think Jeff Goldblum would be the only one cool enough to play you. :)

hehe, thank you, eri :D

I want Steve Buscemi to play me. even though he's a lot older than me, and a man, i can't think of anyone better.

plus, like, isn't it, like -written- somwhere that steve buscemi be in, like -every- good/cool movie that was made in the last x-amount of years???

{though i guess there just wasn't a place for him in 'my big fat greek wedding}

well i think if we're going to have jeff goldblum in the fruhead movie, we should at least have some bloodthirsty dinosaurs in there, too. i'm rooting for a pack of velociraptors :D

we can get a velociraptor to play Smatts.

No.. he'd be something friendlier.

But a Raptor in Smatts's barbershop get-up? Funny, yo!

the dinosaurs can play the tents, of course!

Ricki Lake. That's what my patients consistently tell me.

To me, you look like Leelee Sobieski!
*rowr*
with dark hair!
~J~

Wow...thanks! I'm speechless.

I concur- much more like Leelee Sobieski than Ricki Lake

I repeat..
**rowr**
heh!
~J~

<a href="http://nsync.oh-so-sweet.org/quizz.htm" traget="_blank">

Which female celebrity are you?<A>


*snort* Yep. I'm a genie in a bottle. That's me all right :P

Strictly going by hair and height, Nicole Kidman - though I'd make her gain 30 pounds *G*

Murray - James Marsters! He'd have to have close to his actual hair colour though. I have an mp3 of him singing Angel from Montgomery and his true voice sounds quite a bit like Murray's

true...but I still can't see him as Murray...

but then, this is comming from seeing Marsters on Politicaly Incorrect. I swear, he was just Spike w/o the Brittish accent ;)

So, since we have most of the Buffy cast on here, can I be a Watcher in the movie?

Gella wants James Marsters to play her.

jeff goldblum could play jian!! wooyeah! :D

yeah. and stuff. :)

I'm glad I'm not the only person who has ever thought they looked similar. :)

mmmmmmm Jeff!

ah, but can jeff goldblum play the drums? (or at least pretend to?) :D

I bet he could, I hear he's a stellar pianist! ;)

ah, but can Jian play the drums?

Sorry, somebody had to say it.

ooh, bitchy... hehehe ;)

Now we are definitely not getting married Gordon. ;-)

Murr- (the early early years) I have to say Jason Mewes, minus that nasty drug habit. i'm serious... watch the "Just For Laughs" performance, then watch Clerks. There's a scary, scary resemblance there.

me? well.. a) it's a cameo, as i'm not all into the fruhead "thing" all that much anymore. b) there's no one famous who looks or acts quite like me. they frown on that kind of behaviour in most public places (and yet... Jackass is #1 at the box office *shudder*). i guess i'd have to play myself, as no one quite has that jaded cynicism i've come to perfect.

I always hit these after all the good people are taken. Has anyone called Judge Reinhold yet? I think he'd make a good me... he's got the jolly tall guy thing down pretty well.

Bruce

Hmmmm..... just testing.

OK Canadians - Bill Welychka from Much More Music as Fordy?

check him out

And for Dave? Marke Dreisschen - a weatherman from Vancouver. *g*

Marke Driesschen

hey, what if the frulads all played each other? hehehe :D

hey! the lads could all play themselves. muahahahahaaaa! :D

...who? I'm stumped for ideas... I've never been able to come up with a good answer for this one.

-- Pauley

Eddie Deezen!
from Grease! (Eugene) he's also the guy boarded up in the wall on the Weird Al show!
He's older, but he could SO play you!
~J~

EDDY DEEZEN!
(Eugene from Grease)
he could Soooooooo play you!
he rocks!
~J~

maybe Renee Zellweger or if its a thriller maybe Jodie Foster...if its a brit com Jen Saunders but i dont see how you could make it a brit com so scratch that idea...who will play the fru themselves?

I think I found the person to play Gella. I should have thought of her immediately, Gaby Hoffmann. Not only does she look like Gella her personality is a good match.

I made a post here and it didn't show up. I'll try again.

Gaby Hoffman would be a great Gella.

I'd be Lauren(?) Ambrose, Claire from Six Feet Under...
