Hypothetical: If you were an actor...

**Rain Man** · 06-21-2005, 05:51 PM

...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.

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 · 06-21-2005, 05:53 PM

heh heh....you said "stiff"

siberian khatru · 06-21-2005, 05:54 PM

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

JimNasium · 06-21-2005, 05:54 PM

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

Zebedee DuBois · 06-21-2005, 05:55 PM

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

Zebedee DuBois · 06-21-2005, 05:58 PM

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** · 06-21-2005, 05:58 PM

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.

You're what the cops call a "bad actor".

Zebedee DuBois · 06-21-2005, 06:03 PM

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.

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

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