Walter goes to Hollywood
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is being made into a movie. Mike Myers, who played Austin Powers, is the actor who will play Walter onscreen. Since Walter has an extremely active imagination, it is certainly conceivable that he frequently pictured himself as a movie star. What star do you think Walter would imagine himself being? If they did a movie about your life, what movie star would you want to play you? Why?

I think Walter would imagine himself being Nicolas Cage, because he is popular in many action, and drama movies. As for me, I would either be played by Brad Pitt, or Mr.T, because Mr.T closely resembles my level of awesome, and Brad Pitt is the only one I could think of who is even close to being as handsome as I am.

I think that Walter would imagine himself as a very dramatic movie star , such as Christopher Reeves because he plays Super Man, and Walter sort of imagines himself as Super Man. Also If someone were to make a movie about me I would want a new movie star that is not very famous yet to play me because then they would have a chance to become a famous actress or at least a one hit person

If I had to pick a movie stare to play me it would be James Bond since he is a strong guy and he looks very cool in action packed movies also he has a good personallity in his movies so I would pick James Bond.
Quentin P:3
I think that Walter would imagine himself as a very heroic person like Robert Downey Jr. He is a heroic person because he was in some movies where he acted very heroic like in Sherlock Holmes when he saves the entire Parliament when Lord Blackwood tries to kill them with noxious gas. I would want for Robert Downey Jr. to play me because he is a very good actor and he would make my very boring life funny and exciting.
I think that Walter Mitty would imagine himself being a person who is heoric, has strong perservernce, like Tom Hanks who played in the movie Saving Private Ryan. But if somebody probably did me, I don't really know many actors but one that I can think right off the top of my head is Ben Stiller. I think that he is really funny and is a person who would be able to me as a funny person.
Period 2
In my opinion I think Walter would imagine himself being Vin diesal. I think this because Walter always imagines himself being in a action scene or something exciting in his daydreams. Vin Diesal has starred in many action movies and that is why I think these two are similar. The movie star I think would play me the best in a movie would be Pauley Perette. She is a funny actor from the TV series NCIS. She has a outgoing lifestyle and she loves coffee.
~KARA~ P3
I think Walter would imagine himself a handsome, famous, rich. young star such as Chuck Norris. When they make a movie about me (which im sure they will) I would want Tina Majorino to act as the character of Sophie Miller. She is not very well known but she is from Napoleon Dynamite and she does a very good job and I feel she would potray my character well. She is not exaclty rich and famous but she probably knows how to act well, judjing by her preformance in Napoleon Dynamite. She seems like she would be good at making the movie funny, which is exactly what I want my movie to be like.
Sophie
period 3
The movie star I would like to play would probobly be The Joker.
I chose this person because this character makes me crack up at his extreemly strange laugh. I also like this person because he looks so odd and I would be a millionaire if I were to be him.
i think walter would imagine himself as himeself because he is the brave of the brave he is walter mitty . i would have mike myers playing me because he is funny.
william a period 1
If I had to have a person play me in a action movie it would be the Rock besause he is a very strong man And he plays his acts very well and he dose the right moods for every part of the movie and he is one of the best nown movie stars in america.
Quentin P:3
Walter Mitty would probably imagine himself being a heroic character or someone who is like him in his daydreams like heroic, strong, handsome, cool and not have his nagging wife nag at him all day. In his daydreams he would have lots of friends, he would have a awesome job which he would of course love, he would`nt have any problems, everyone would like him and everyone would want to be as heroic as he is. It would be like a fantasy world to him in his daydreams. In his real life it is boring, lame, and dull life as in his fantasy made up world he is a hero that saves everyone and everything. If i had a movie about my life i would want a very good star to play my part. I don`t know specifically who would play my part but someone who is somewhat like me because if they are like me then the actor is going to be happy that he is playing a role like him/her then if it wasn`t like me then it would be harder for the person playing the role and hard for the actual person (me) it would be harder for me and the whole movie because no one would get what the character is trying to play and harder for me because then i don`t get as much credit . Also someone who is good at acting because if you have someone bad at acting your character in the movie is going to look stupid and wacky.
Jennifer Snyder period #1 English
I think that Walter Mitty might imagine himself as Robert Pattinson(Who portrays Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga). If a movie were made about my life I would want to play the part of myself. I am good at acting and would love to play myself. However considering playing myself wouldn't take much acting I hope that they would fantasize my life as to make bearable to watch for at least an hour and a half. Thus I am in a bit of a similar situation as Mitty but I don't think my life is as monotonous as Mitty's life is. Also, most movies about a person's life hardly have a grain of truth in them except for the main idea and the persons name.

I would agree that it is indeed conceivable that Walter Mitty often pictured himself as a movie star. However, the concept of which movie star he would imagine himself being has completely deserted me. I think Walter would imagine himself as actually being the movie star. Of course, this would only apply if he actually was a movie star, but he is not, so just imagine that it is so. He would be playing in this action-packed movie in which he would be the "handsome" (because most movie stars are either handsome or pretty) hero that saves the world or prevents a classified, documented, government secret from being either revealed to the public or stolen by villains. If Walter imagined himself as a movie star,he would likely picture himself--Walter Mitty--as the star (I think most people would rather this than being called by a different name in their daydreams).
It would be odd if movie producers all of a sudden decided that they wanted to reenact my life through a movie. To tell the truth, when I watch a movie, I do not particularly care whom it is that is playing the lead roles. I mostly just shut of the television or vacate the theater unless I just want to read the incredible tiny names for fun. To tell the truth a second time, I would not want anyone to make a movie on my life, but if it was so, I would not care whoever played my part (it is also likely that I had never heard of the person who was acting as me, anyway).
Kate, Period Two
I think that they should have Walter and his current wife divorce. Then he would get remarried to a younger "chick". They then should show him on his wedding day. He would be daydreaming during the service of how his life will be with his new babe.When its time for him to say his vow, he would still be daydreaming. His new chick would take it the wrong way and dump him.
If I had a choice to have a movie made about me and I said yes, I would act as myself because who better can play me than myself? Plus it would be cool to star in a movie and be the dream guy for every girl.
Dylan Snyder Period 3
English is a provocative subject and is tantalizing for every student every day!
(PS. I used www.m-w.com to find provocative and tantalizing!)
I think that Walter Mitty should be...I dont know but since Mike Myers is going to play him in the moive I guess Mike Myers would be my choice. For me, if someone had to play me in my life for a moive it would be Emma Roberts. She is very pretty a good actress and funny. She is fun and really has character. (She can fit into her part) that is my choice. KATIE PER 5
Mr. Mitty would most likely imagine himself as someone like Zac Efron because he is very good looking. Mr. Mitty would probally imagine himself winning the Oscars Award his great acting skills in that movie. Maybe his talent will start a new award called the "Walter Mitty Award" for all those great actors out there! If someone had to play me I would want her to be pretty and really famous. I might have someone like Ann Hathaway because she is a good actress. Or maybe someone that will have their first movie debut playing ME!!! For example ME or one of my friends.
The actor that Walter Mitty would imagine himself as is George Clooney. I say that because George Clooney is an actor that can play many different types of genres. He can play "The Fantastic Mr. Fox"[Family] to "Oceans 13" -action/gangster- to "ER" - drama-from romantic leading man to action hero and many more. Walter Mitty often imagines himself as many different things and George Clooney also plays many different parts. In most movies George Clooney is the main character ans is the cool with the gun. Walter Mitty thinks that if you have a gun you are very cool. George Clooney always does that kind of stuff.
If there were a movie about me I would want the actor to play me to be Johnny Depp. My mom used to always tell me that I look like him. In first grade and fourth grade I was really into "Pirates of the Caribbean" For Halloween I wanted to be Captain Jack Sparrow. My mom usually makes my costume (any ways in October 2003 there was no six year old Pirates of the Caribbean costumes.) I was him for Halloween I was him and I looked exactly like him. Same as when I was in Fourth grade. He is a very good and deep actor. He is also very musical, and so am I. In fact he really wanted to be in a band but he needed money so he started acting in a bit part in "Nightmare on Elm Street." Then they asked him to be in "21 Jump Street" where he became a TV star. He left TV to become a "serious actor" and starred in movies like "Edward Scissor Hands". He could have easily just been a pretty boy TV star, but he fought to break out of that mold. He chose to just do the movies he wanted, even though they are a wide variety of things, and sometimes not popular things. He hates the paparazzi so he lives in France and lives his own life. He is not like one of those people who do anything to be in the news. He is his own person and he doesn't want to be something else other that what he is. Also he can play young people when he is much older.(-:
Jacob R per 2
I think Walter Mitty would want to be superman, because he would save people from certian dangers. If my life was a movie I would want Spongebob because he is awesome!
Alex W period 5 :]
I would play victorea stilwell a fames dog trainer becase she is an isperation to me and she is amazing and cool to. She is a wonder to all dog trainers. I wish i could be her. That is the movie star i would play.
Broc gilbert period 5
If i were to star in a move roll i would want to play an outgoing character because i am a very out going person i love to try new things and accompish them. Accomplishing stuff makes me fell good about my self there for makes me try harder knowing i can accomplish what i set my mind to. As far as who would play me in a movie would be tylor swift because shes amazing at everything lol
Jasmine Reed
It think that Walter Mitty would want to take the place of Sylvester Stallone in the Original "Rocky" or "Rambo the first blood". I imagine walter wanting to be him in real life also.
As for me I would want to be Ben Stiller because he is funny in many movies but mostly "zoolander" because tropic thunder is ronch
Ian p.2
I think that Walter Mitty would be portrayed by the role of Costas Mandylor (known most formally as Mark Hoffman). Costas plays the role of Mark well and he makes things very suspensful.And i would play the role of Betsy Russell. she keeps thing very suspensful also and is a good lier like me.
Katie Kleban Period 2
Sarah-Period 3
I agree that Walter Mitty most likely daydreamed of being a movie star. Most people do dream of being a famous, dazzling hero(ine). It is only natural that Walter Mitty would fantasize such an inconceivable scheme. In my opinion, Walter Mitty would pick James Stewart to play himself (Walter Mitty). Stewart was a superb actor. (He played "George Bailey" in "It's A Wonderful Life," as well as acting in many other films.) Stewart is now dead, but I believe that Walter Mitty still would have picked him because he was such a marvelous film star.
I'm not particularly keen on someone making a movie about my life. But, if someone had their heart set on making this movie, I would pick Anne Hathaway. I think that she is extraordinary talented. She has been able to convey everything from a frivolous film about a teenager who finds out she's a princess (Princess Diaries), to a more action-packed, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat movie about a spy who is working undercover (Get Smart). She has been in various other films as well. I think that she would do an excellent job portraying me. I would be easily entertained by both of these movies.
I think Mr. Mitty would see himself as superman (George Reeves) in the movies. In the movie about my life I would want Jim Carrey to play as me because he is one of my favorite acters and he could act out my life perfectly.
Thomas Period 1
i think walter would have himself play himself because walter is the best, in his mind so in the movie he should play himself.
i would have jonah hill play me because he is really funny like me.
william a period 1
I don't know I don't know who would play me best but if I had to pick it would be one of my friends because they would be able to play me best.
JP Gertz
I would chouse Jim Carry because he is very funny! And he is good at what he does.
Rvd 1
I would pick Harrason Ford because he is very good at acting. He also played in one of my favorit movies series Indeana Jones.
Lyman Townsend per 2
If they made a movie about my life I don't know who I would want to play me in a movie about my life. Maybe Janette McCurdy or Selena Gomez
Emily
Period 1
I imagine Walter imagining being a hero by going on an adventure going to save a crashed helicopter on Mt. Everest. He encounters a village of yetis and he needs to help them get rid of a gang of yetis that are terrorizing the village. If he helps them they will help him save the downed helicopter. If they did a movie about my life I would want Tom Hanks to play as me because he is my favorite actor and a lot of people know about him so my movie will be famous.
Will period 1
Walter Mitty would probaly chose to be Arnold Swarzenegger because he is strong and is always shooting something. But if I were to pick someone I would pick David Spade because he is funny and is a good actor.
Jimmy period 3
Forgot to put my name on the other one
I think if Mr. Mitty was making a movie the perfect actor would be Brad Pitt. He is a really well known actor and has a good reputation of being an amazing actor. ( I don't really agree with that) If Brad Pitt was in it, many middle age woman would go see it. If they made a movie about myself I think I would want my actress to be Hauke Haien. She doesn't look like me but has a resemblence with hair and skin. Another actress I would chose is Freida Pinto. She doesnt look anything like me but she is a good actress plus there is no rule saying they have to. They always exagerate the actress anyway.
Aisling5
I think that if he was a movie he would pretend to be a movie actor as that is what people in Los Angeles like because people are a little nutty in California in my opinion and i don't know the names of any actors
-Andrew B.
Walter mitty would probably be tom cruise because he is very heroic.I would want Ned bigby to play me because I like his TV show and his amazing tips. They help me get though school every day and he is a very good actor I think.
Grant 5
First, I believe that Walter would always imagine himself as the hero of the movie and would have supermodels flinging themselves at him. ATherefore, I think he might imagine himself as George Clooney. As for who I would like to play me, I think either Robert Downy Jr. or Ryan Reynolds. I think we share a sense of humor.
Sky Gann p3
P.S. Sherlock Holmes was awesome!
Walter Mitty would imagine himself as the main character probably.He would save the world and be the hero. I don't know who I would want to play me in a movie.I don't really know any movie stars right now that aren't crazy in someway.
Grace period 2
Well I think that Walter will picture himeself saving a small child from a burning building and then he will be the top hero of the world!If I was Walter I would dream that I was saving hundreds of animals from a HUGE FLOOD at the county fair!!!I would either want JAKIE CHAN or that girl from Wild Harts to play my part!!!(I have no clue what her name is!)
Helen-5
I think that Hugh Jackman would deffinetly be Mr.Mitty. He is extravigently stroung and that is what he imagines him self in his day dreams.
I also think that if I was in a Hollywood move the actor that would play me would be a woman named Traylor Howard in the beautifully magnifacent show Monk.She plays Monks assistant. This is because she is very stroung woman and she will always stand up for herself. In this show she would not tallorate anything that she did not aprove of.She is my idol so is monk but i am not male anyway. I chose her because of all those resains also because she kinda,kinda looks like me.
Sarah.H.5
I belive he would want to play a hero in the movie because in all of his daydreams he is always doing something heroic. I would want someone who is my age and a good actress to play me. I would want someone like this because I would like the actress to represent me in a good way.
Emma-1
Johnny Zhang Period 2
If I where to pick a movie star to play it be Jackie Chan
1. Because he chinese.
2. He alsome.
3. he is one great actor.
and that why if anybody was to play me in a movie it be Jackie Chan.
Walter would probably be will smith because will smith could handle his action packed dreams. For the movie about me I would choose Leonardo Dicaprio, I would chosse him because he is a great actor he started in the highest money earning film the titanic and I think he could handle my action packed life.
Jack P2
I think that George Clooney would do a great job acting as Walter Mitty. I think this because George is a very good actor he did a really good job in the movie Oceans 11. He is really good at doing action movies. He would be perfect for the part. If they made a movie about me and my life I would want the actress to be Lacey Chabert. I would pick her becasue she is a really good actress she also has brown curly hair and big brown eyes like I do. Also in the movies that she's in she is really funny and a great acrtress.
Bella period 5
i would definetly pick tom hanks to play me even though he is not a girl. i would want him to play me because i think that he is the best acter to ever walk the planet!!!!
brittany period 1 :)
I would have Chelsea Staub play myself. I would have her play me because I admire her work in many TV shows and in movies. In her movies she acts as if she really is the character, like even if I met her in real life she would be like her character. (Her character is nice so that’s a good thing) As for Walter I think her should be played by Dane Cook because He is buff and smart and funny. I think I’m going to go a litter deeper by……. If I could make a movie about my life collaborated with Walter Mitty, it would be hilarious and everybody would watch it.
-♥Serena♥ Peri☺d 3
If walter dreams of being a super star I don't know who he would be, I think He would make up his own super star. and for the last question I don't have a favorate actor so I don't know who I would want to be.
-Noah 1
I think that Harrison Ford would be a good actor to play Mr. Mitty. The actor that should play me is the kid who played Dennis the menus.
Jere .5
I would want Jim carry to play me or Larry the cable guy because they are one of the funniest people that make me laugh they are my most favorite movie stars
lucas
I think Walter Mitty would imagine himself saving a little kid falling from a high building in the city. The famous person i would want to play me is a person that is new at being famous and not a dramatic person. I choose this kind of person because that person would be able to be in a movie. (i don't really no who i would want to play me)
Sara Per.1
Renee - Period 3
I think Walter would imagime himself as being Georges Reeves who played Superman in the black and white films since Walter imagines himself as a superhero. If they did a movie about my life, I would want Sandra Bullock to play me. She is a really good and well-known actress. I think she plays whatever roles she has very well. She was great in The Blind Side, a new movie about Michael Oher, and she has been in several movies so she has a lot of experience.
Walter Mitty probably did picture himself as a movie star, since movie stars frequently act out exciting and daring characters.
Which movie star? Well, I don't think he'd picture himself as somebody else, just himself, Walter Mitty: famous movie star. He wouldn't have another name, though he'd probably picture himself LIKE a real movie star. Which star, though, I don't really know.
I also don't know which movie star would even WANT to act out me. I can't even think of an actress's name right now.
Claire 2nd
If Walter Mitty was daydreaming about being a movie star he would be daydreaming about being Tobey Maguire the actor who played Spiderman in the movie Spiderman. This would be because Spiderman is a superhero and this is how Walter Mitty often thinks of himself in his daydreams. If I was going to select an actor to play me in a movie about me I would choose Tom Cruise because he is dyslexic and he also played a disabled person in a wheelchair. I think he would do a good job of playing me because of his experience playing disabled people who are in wheelchairs. A movie with Tom Cruise in it as me would tell the story of my life very well.
Patrick period 3
I think Walter Mitty would imagine himself being Tom Cruise. He is a great actor who is really well known. He is one of the most famous movie actors to date and has also stared in some famous action movies. Tom Cruise is most famous for his "gorgeous looks and acting abilities." If there were someone to make a movie about me I would probably want Emma Watson to play me. She is a really great actress and is young and pretty. She really gets into her character in the movies she stars in like Harry Potter. Even though she doesn't look really anything like me, I still think that she should be the one to play me.
Elizabeth, period 2
I would picture Walter Mitty being played by Jack Black because he is well known for being crazy , funny, and unfocused and that would match to Walter. For me i would have Seann William Scott even though he isnt as well known as other actors but he is really funny and he is one of my favorite actors. Kevin f per 2
I dont know who I would want to play me. There arent very many femal actresses that i really like. But if i had to pick i think i would pick Camerin Diaz. I think that Walter should picture himself like Edward Cullen from the Twilight Saga, i Think he should be Played by Robert Pattinson.
McKenna 1
If I had to pick a person to act me in a movie like in Walter Mitty it would half to be the Rock since he is a very good actor and also many movie directors want him in the movies that they make. But the reason I would want to be the Rock is because he is a very strong man and he uses his emotions just right in the movies that he plays so if I had to pick a movie actor or a person to play me in the movie it would half to be the Rock.
Quentin P:3
I would pick harrason ford for waler mitty because he is a hero and he playes in very good movies such as Indiana Jones. I would pick harrason Ford because he is one of my favorie movie stars and I think im a little like him
Lyman Townsendper 2
I think that the acter of walter mitty should be arnold shwartsinager because he should amagin himself as a huge body builder. The acter that i would have for me is chuck norris because hes cool.
Mike perrino
Walter would imagine himself being played by Gene Wilder. His character is extremely imaginative. Gene Wilder played in many movies his most notable being Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where his imaginative brain conquered all but Charlie.
Ellen DeGenenous is the actress who would portray me in film for her quick wit, sense of humor and always looking at life with the glass half full.
Ms. Potrikus
I think Walter would imagine himself being like jim carrey becuase he is most loony and some times day drems in some of his movies. As for me, I really don't know who would play me in or for a movie.
Alyssa
Period 3
I think Walter would think of himself as a movie star who is strong and brave,because that is what he is like in all of his daydreams. The actor, I think, would be Robert Downey Jr., because he is strong, and almost always knows what to do. As for me, I would want to be played by Freddie High more, because he seems to always be happy, like me, he has blond hair, and is very curious and inquisitive.
Robert 5
I think that Walter Mitty should be either John Conery because he has that amazing voice and he is the perfect person to be calm and have a second life were he is anything and anybody. I think the best person to play me in real life would be Vern Troyer because everyone respects mini me.
Alex P2
I think that Walter Mitty would fantasize about being Daniel Craig because he is such a cool guy and he is strong, handsome, and urbane, and he always gets the girl. I would want Peter Sellers to play me because he is hilarious and he can play numerous roles in the same movie.
Max Ofer per. 3
I think that Walter Mitty would imagine him self as Sean Connery because he played a famous spy. I would want Emma Watson to play me because she is a breakout artist and a very talented actor.
-Rebecca 1
i think walter will imagen him self as will smith becasue he is funny and i dont know who would play me
