February 11 - The Role to Die For

[Aelfric5578]

If you could portray any role in theater, television, film, etc...what would you want to be. Let's assume talent isn't in consideration. I know that I pretty much can't sing, but if I could have any role ever written it would be that of Javert in Les Mis.

Richard Nixon.

[MiniMills124]

Max Bialystock in the Producers. Just because everyone says that I remind them of Nathan Lane.

[Humor's Hand]

Lucifer in the upcoming 2010 movie "I, Lucifer'. It's my absolute favorite book and Lucifer is the most intriguing fictional character ever imagined by man. He's sophisticated, witty, and generally misunderstood.

In this book, he is given an amazing amount of free reign to set things straight on how the Great Story actually goes and even portray the human psyche better than anyone who is actually human.

Lester Burnham from American Beauty.

Napoleon. Albert Einstein. I guess I have an affinity for real people. Also Moon from Anything Goes (not real) Mercutio from Romeo and Juliet. Falstaff from any of the plays he's in.

Angel from Rent!!!

I would die for this role most certainly. =]

[Steve Perry]

Hmm, I'll try to make a list:

1. Johnny/Nny - Johnny The Homicidal Maniac
2. Alex - A Clockwork Orange
3. Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort - Harry Potter
4. Howard Stern
5. Willy Wonka

Great topic!

My ideal role (chosen at random, out of a hat): Voldemort. It is fun playing the villain

oh oh Glinda (Galinda) in "Wicked" or Christine in "Phantom of the Opera"

denzel washington in man on fire

[Chewie]

Lester Burnham from American Beauty.

Anything from Al Pacino. I just love yelling random words.

[Harold and Maude]

Fantine, Les Mis.
