I'm working on it. From TMI as usual, although Advizor's blog notified me of its existence this week.
1. If a screenwriter turned you into a character in a movie:
- a. What stock Hollywood character would it be most like? For example: best friend, ditzy blonde, absent-minded professor, captain of industry, etc.
- I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, so I might be the eccentric sidekick. Maybe the girl next door. I can dream.
- b. What actor/actress would play you?
- At one time I would have said Alyson Hannigan, who looks somewhat like me and could probably play me if given the proper direction. But then she either stopped or started dyeing her hair and ceased being a redhead, so I'm over her. Ditto for Laura Prepon. Now, I don't know. I'm not up on actors anymore. The names don't stick with me.
2. What genre of movie is your life most like? For example: romantic comedy, goofball comedy, spy, coming of age, action/adventure, sci-fi, etc
An extremely boring documentary about paint drying. No, actually probably a bit of a dramedy. But it really wouldn't make that good a movie; I'm fairly boring as far as entertaining an audience would be concerned. And in a major motion picture, all the exciting stuff would be cut out to get an R.
3. What kind of scene in a movie would you like to play most? Why?
I'd say "Sex scene!" except I think I'd like to play a climactic moment of tearful reunion right now. A happy ending. And do I really need to say why? Right now, my life is like Act II of a movie which is supposed to end with a tearful reunion but doesn't seem to have the final push to make it.
4. Have you ever looked around you and thought “this is like a scene from a movie”? What were the circumstances?
I guess not. Real life is simultaneously much more boring and far more interesting than movies. I'm a big believer in the dramatic arts as unreal, ur-real even. If you try to capture reality in film or theatre, you're going to fail. It's not real. So I guess I don't see things through that lens in real life. Either that, or I just can't think of anything at the moment.
5. Have you ever looked at a character in a movie and said, “Hey, that could be me”? Who/what was the character?
Actually, Laura Prepon in That 70's Show is the closest I can think of, and she didn't come that close, and then she dyed her hair blonde. I don't know; I'm failing at these questions. It could be that I don't think of myself in movies. I really don't know. Take my failure as illuminating something about myself, please.
Bonus: Have you ever been in pictures–Hollywood film, porno, homemade video, or other type of film? Tell us about it. …and is it on YouTube :D
Never been in a Hollywood film. I've been in some amateur porn which no one will ever see, and some amateur films of a non-pornographic nature (and I do mean that; I'm not talking about art films) which I doubt highly anyone will ever see. And even if I were on youTube (and I may be, you never know) I wouldn't tell you. You can look at any redheaded chick on youTube and wonder if it's me, if you like.

Most of our lives would play out like a bad 70's movie that was made with the money left over from a failed Ben Hur sequel. So don't feel too bad.
And as for the non-pornographic movies you've been in, maybe they just need the right producer to bring it to market and make you a star!
Y... no. I couldn't take the pressure of stardom. Eventually, I'd crack and start sending fake Native Americans to accept my awards.
