Is there a way to answer this question without coming across as a narcissist?

maybe linda cardellini? i used to hear she looked like me all the time. although i think that was just because when i had short hair i looked like velma from scooby doo.

I'm not sure who'd play me (I looked like Eric Stoltz when I was younger, but these days he'd need as much make-up as he had on in "Mask") although I'd want Charlie Kaufman to write the screenplay. I'd be cool to make everyone think I worked for the CIA.

It would take a number of performers working together to help tell my life story.

At a minimum, I would need David Bowie, Efrem Zimbalist, Patti LuPone, Stephen Hawking, Raymond Chandler, and the reanimated corpse of Andre the Giant.

Obviously, it would be a musical.

Whoops, meant to note: This question came to us courtesy of Steve. If you've got a good question for Fuel, send it to inbox@gapersblock.com.

Since I get so many "Wolverine" comments thanks to my sideburns, I guess Hugh Jackman ought to play me. I wish I were funny and devil-may-care enough for a young Bill Murray to have played me, but alas.

This is a no-brainer.
Having been mistaken for him throughout my life, John Cusack would be the guy.
Although I'd probably have to pay him back for all those free drinks 1st.

I'd be played by a "Poseidon Adventure"-era Gene Hackman.

I've been told my personality is like an American Bridget Jones, but I don't look like Rene Zellweger. I'm often told I look like Lindsay Lohen. I'd rather have Rene Zellweger play be though, b/c she can actually act and she doesn't appear to be a ho!

Under 35: (a young) Nicolas Cage - happy with being crazy inside my own orbit.

Over 35: Edward Norton - mellowed out, but still too petulant for the general public.

(Screenplay by Paul Schrader, nobody else is better at writing about angry brutes foolishly trying to fight the world.)

Denzel...but nerded up a bit.

Sally Field, in drag.

Someone once said that Michael Keaton would play me in the movie, so I guess that's what it'll be.

Drew Barrymore-which is kind of scary if you know about my life, which doesn't seem to contain much of her typical "material." But, then, that would have to be the whole point of the flick.
