Friday's game: You v Casting Director

andy

I had a moment of clarity today that if by some chance they were making a film that needed someone to play a character based on me, they would not in fact cast my idea of what I look like (some proper film star like Eric Bana), but someone more realistic, like David Mitchell. Bubble burst.

In my head:

In Casting Director's head:

To start you off with a few others:

Casting Director: Robert Webb

Anyone else want to join in? I'm guessing Matt will go Simon Pegg/Simon Pegg.

Does David also own the legendary Robert Webb black leotard? I think we should be told (and shown a photo).

that's not a bad likeness...

David

I know, although I always thought Irene had a bigger bum than me.

Pete

Andy know's he's the non-union Keanu. Or he'll be the casting directors choice for playing David Milliband.

injoke

andy mentions david mitchell and suddenly one of the sponsored links is david mitchell related, is this a complete coincidence or is google much more sophisticated than i realised?

also, how do i post pictures?

i fear i've just outed myself as a bit of a fool again.

Instructions on image posting here:<http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/642/making-links-and-images/#Item_0>; More instructions on using the frankly baffling 'markdown': <http://www.stroudgreen.org/extensions/Markdown/markdowntips.html>; I think Google is clever enough to show us David Mitchell related ads. And it seems I am at the much unwanted centre of a Miliband/Keanu/Bana/Mitchell axis. Not a pretty picture. Actually, Miliband isn't a bad call, but certainly at the David Mitchell end of the scale. Maybe I should get a tan?

David

If anyone cares to let me know the blanks I'll happily update and complete the Venn: 

unaesthetic

what the feck kind of hideous monstrosity could possibly live in the overlap between keanu and david mitchell? don't they simply cancel each other out?

Pete

Halfway between David Mitchell and Keanu Reeves... An idiot surfer uni comedian bratpack toff...

Anyone at Durham University?

David

That picture of Irene reminded me of this Venn in progress. I've just realised that if David Mitchell and Keanu cancel each other out, that can be the void of Jimmy Carr. He thinks he's both good looking and funny and is neither.  Any others? I'm sure we can complete this, and maybe turn it into a fridge magnet for Andy. It can remind him who he is in those lost moments.

andy

These are some of the most passive-aggressive insults I have ever endured.

David

Thank you. I try my best.
