If you could star in a movie, What movie genre and what role would you prefer?

A movie about the SMS Emden with me, of course, in the role of Captain von Müller.

The true stories of Captain von Müller eclipse anything any fiction writer could come up with. Honestly if you made a movie about the SMS Emden, a lot of people would think it was not true and not possible.

But he done did it.

And he did it with honour.

I have no clue, as I've never thought about it.

I used to have a friend (now deceased) who once confided that his dream was to be killed by John Wayne (onscreen of course).

Hmm... WW2 movie on the eastern front(preferably as a tank commander, but a infantry man works) (and not one of those stupid ones with a silly love story...) Or a WW1 (whats more fun than a non lethal massed charge?)movie.

Hmm. or maybe a sci-fi movie.

A great General leading his forces into victory in WWII in any theatre...not sure which one though.....Clint Eastwood perhaps

I don't really have the build for on screen acting, but a voice in a fantasy anime movie would be pretty nice, but I'd have to be the villain I think, they have much more fun and are much more fun to act as.

One of those gritty sci-fi type movies, on the harder side of science fiction, something like BSG if there was a lot more action. I'd probably go with being 'one of the guys', either as a footsoldier or ship crewmember (if a crewmember, preferably somewhat higher on the food chain) - there's no way I'd make it to the end of the movie or get in with the girl, but I'd kick some sweet arse and die a righteous death

I'd love to take a shot at the role of Adolf Galland.

Or, as some of you already know, I'd love to see a take on the opening act of Operation Z from the perspective of the Japanese midget sub crews.

I would like to potray Josef "Pips" Priller during his Luftwaffe Carreer.

Normandy?!?!?

I must admit, if I had the body for it, Hans Jochim Marseille or Sailor Malan, or perhaps some guy in NORAD in a WWIII movie.

I think I have a new subject to read about, quite the recommendation!

As for me, I just want Tim Blake Nelson's role from Syriana
