He's got the right face and facial expressions for it. Plus he's a bit wooden by nature anyway. A little dye everywhere but above the ears and he would be almost a ringer.

Ryan could be Dr. Theopolis, or whatever that thing's name was that hangs around the robot's neck.

As a boy, the only thing I remember from that awful series was that I really liked Erin Gray.

in "WallStreet." Both are good-looking, both think that "greed is good." Both believe the ends justify the means and have been essentially amoral in their business dealings.

I found this great quiz online: http://www.romneygekko.com/quiz/

and wow, it surely is egotistical of his Mittness to think he should be in a movie.

Rafalca (sp?) the horse.

For added realism, make sure the horse's rear is facing forward, as that end bears the closest resemblance to Flip-Flopper.

He does narcissistic psychopaths really really well.

Put a wig on him and he'll be good to go.

Rmoney is locked in a 40-year disconnect. "Soviet Union", "Gene Hackman"

He should push for this guy.



Or better, since this is the closest to him, THIS guy -



It's Romney Doody time!

Ronny played two of the greatest psychopathic executives in cinema history: Vilos Cohaagen in Total Recall and Dick Jones in Robocop. He could phone in the Romney role, just like the real Romney is phoning in his campaign.

Fri Sep 14, 2012, 02:50 PM

is as a human. Always git on my nerves on Friends, but his "I have one facial expression" acting style fits Mittens perfectly. That one expression was vaguely miffed, vaguely stupid. Perfect!

But I have to say the Joe Isuzu choice above is deliciously brilliant!

I have long felt Romney looked the part of Reed Richards, he has the white hair in the right place and has that awkward woodeness around reporters. Mr Gruffudd could pull off Romney but why?
