Hypothetical: If you were an actor...

[Rain Man]

...and you got hired to play a dead person, which role would you most prefer?

Poll forthcoming. In the meantime, hold still and keep a stiff upper lip.

[Inspector]

I did quite a bit of "acting" for many years. Had to give it up when my schedule got too full.

I don't recall ever playing a non-fiction type of character, dead or alive.

[Zebedee DuBois]

heh heh....you said "stiff"

[siberian khatru]

I'm probably most qualified to play the lead in the "John Holmes Story."

[JimNasium]

I'm not an actor but I play one on t.v.

[Zebedee DuBois]

Aren't we all actors, and the world our stage?

[Zebedee DuBois]

I selected "home" because I am really quite lazy and that way I wouldn't have to drive anywhere to do my acting job.

[Rain Man]

I was torn between the morgue scene and the funeral scene, but I might get claustrophobic in the drawer. I therefore went with the funeral scene, since it would be kind of a starring role.

[Skip Towne]

I'm not an actor but I play one on t.v.
You're what the cops call a "bad actor".

[Zebedee DuBois]

I nixed the antartica and trolling scenes - too cold. I couldn't act like I wasn't shivering.

Nix the rural setting. Bugs.

Nix the coffin or the morgue box or the fridge. Claustrophobia.

Nix the teenagers. You know they would be goofing on you - probably tap your nuts or something. That would be hard to act through.

Nix the operating table or autopsy table. They would involve nudity, and I want to be taken seriously, not just for my body.

[Zebedee DuBois]

.....and where is the "Gaz is dead, or possibly a walrus." option?

[Mr. Kotter]

A Zombie who hunts down Bronco fans and tortures them mercilessly.

[Mr. Kotter]

Good point....perhaps I lost half my brain when I was killed....attending a game at the Black Hole.

[el borracho]

Zombie with a mouthful of brains.

Duh.

[Mr. Kotter]

Zombie with a mouthful of brains.

Duh.

Beat you to it...nah, nah, nah-nah, nah.... :p

[UteChief]

Dead person being towed around by teenagers for some reason, I figure I would get more screen time.

[Rain Man]

The poll is 'dead actors', not 'undead actors.' Zombies aren't allowed, unless it's somehow a dead zombie. Really dead, not walking around dead.

Sure...fuggin' change the rules in the middle of the game.... :rolleyes:

[milkman]

I'd take the morgue scene, but only in the series "Tru Calling".

[Mr. Kotter]

I'm filing a formal protest with the mods:

One entry found for zombie.


Main Entry: zom·bie
Variant(s): also zom·bi /'zäm-bE/
Function: noun
Etymology: Louisiana Creole or Haitian Creole zõbi, of Bantu origin; akin to Kimbundu nzúmbe ghost
1 usually zombi a : the supernatural power that according to voodoo belief may enter into and reanimate a dead body b : a will-less and speechless human in the West Indies capable only of automatic movement who is held to have died and been supernaturally reanimated
2 a : a person held to resemble the so-called walking dead; especially : AUTOMATON b : a person markedly strange in appearance or behavior
3 : a mixed drink made of several kinds of rum, liqueur, and fruit juice


"supernaturally 'reanimated'" does not preclude the zombie from being "dead."

[Rain Man]

I could not disagree more strongly, and move to deny the request for consideration of the protest. It's common knowledge that zombies are undead. I present the definition of the prefix "un-" and challenge the esteemed Mr. Kotter to eat uncooked pork if he wishes to prove his argument.

Main Entry: 1un-
Pronunciation: "&n, often '&n before '-stressed syllable
Function: prefix
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English; akin to Old High German un- un-, Latin in-, Greek a-, an-, Old English ne not -- more at NO
1 : not : IN-, NON- -- in adjectives formed from adjectives <unambitious> <unskilled> or participles <undressed>, in nouns formed from nouns <unavailability>, and rarely in verbs formed from verbs <unbe> -- sometimes in words that have a meaning that merely negates that of the base word and are thereby distinguished from words that prefix in- or a variant of it (as im-) to the same base word and have a meaning positively opposite to that of the base word <unartistic> <unmoral>
2 : opposite of : contrary to -- in adjectives formed from adjectives <unconstitutional> <ungraceful> <unmannered> or participles <unbelieving> and in nouns formed from nouns <unrest>
