I’m pretty sure some one will soon be approaching me to make a movie version of my life, and I want to be prepared. I don’t want to lose creative control so I thought I’d get some things down on paper now. Here’s what I’ve got so far:
Director: Wes Anderson
Playing the Part of Poor Lucky Me: Enzo- the dog from Frasier. I think he’s got the right amount of intellectualism, playfulness, and sensitivity to carry the main role. I’ve heard he has great handwriting too.
The Roommate: Bobcat Goldthwait. He co-starred in Hot to Trot so we know he’s great alongside animal actors. I also really respect the Police Academy work he did.
My Dad: Judge Joe Brown. The Judge is unapologetic, energetic, and delightfully urban. I assume he’s a great actor.
My Mom: Abigail Beslin. She’s such a powerful actor. I also like how versatile her look is- did you know that she wore a fat suit in Little Miss Sunshine?
My Oldest Brother: John C Reilley. He’s sensitive and sweet, and is still somehow the best F-word dropper in Hollywood as far as I’m concerned.
My Middle Brother: Paul Ruebens. I respect that he sees pornos in the theater- I think that says a lot about a person.
That’s as far as I’ve gotten so far. Suggestions are welcomed.
Ha! Love it….although I’m pretty sure the dog’s name is Eddie, from Frasier. I used to watch a lot of that show.
The character’s name is Eddie, but the actor-dog’s name in Enzo. I’ve been in talks with his agent.
Ha! I just learned something today.
