Assuming that you are not a gorgeous specimen with the perfect face/body, you would probably be cast as a character actor in a movie. You might make a good Nervous Nellie like Don Knotts, a rough working man like Ernest Borgnine, a sophisticate club member like John Gielgud, a cynical maid like Agnes Moorehead. What role would you be cast as and why?

Cynical smart maid or mom like Esther Dale.

evil and ambitious manipulator like Edward Arnold in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington / Meet John Doe. Or Rupert Murdoch. |

I am a woman but would love to be a renaissance person like the late Peter Ustinov!

 Probably this one - I'd make a very uppity servant.... ... in my own mind though I come across like this

Everyone's heard of the old cliché: "Take off your glasses. Why, you're beautiful!" I'm the guy to whom a casting director would say, "Take off your glasses...why, you look just like..."  "...James Finlayson." |

No particular actor, but the "loyal right hand man with a few screws loose" character.

A disposable henchman of the main villain, maybe killed by the villain for being a rat. I would have to grovel and beg before being gunned down in silence like Brian Donlevy in The Big Combo.  |

I’d be the one with the cap and the gormless face…

The shy, nervous woman of indeterminate age and marital status--an Ellen Corby type:
It's a Wonderful Life (as " Mrs. Davis")--"Could I have $22.50?"
Or Annie Mumolo in Bridesmaids (as "Nervous woman on plane")-- "I had a dream last night; the plane went down. You were in it."

Someone like John Ridgely that could play a great bad guy or a great good guy and had "almost" leading man looks. I always thought he was great as Eddie Mars in The Big Sleep and as Capt. Quincannon (what a great name for a character in a WW2 film) in Air Force among a ton of other films.  |

I think it’d be fun to play one of those “love to hate” characters like a disloyal friend or a scheming politician.

If I were a regular in a sit-com, I'd be the nutty neighbor. I would be Pete Porter, Jerry Helper, Kramer.

I want to be the wise cracking, worldly wise best friend/mom like Eve Arden or Thelma Ritter.

She was equally great in comedy or drama too. Wonderful actress!
