Who Are You?

So, this is what sometimes goes on during a slow morning at BookPeople; conversations about favorite books/music/films that spur into more interesting lists about who we are and how we perceive ourselves. One such list was this: Create a sort of "biography" of yourself based upon 5 different characters from film. The combination of these 5 characters ought to create as clear a picture of you as is possible in such an exercise. My personal feeling is that one character ought to reflect you at your best and one should reflect you at your worst. My five:

Rowlf the Dog (The Muppet Movies)

Rob Gordon (High Fidelity)/Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything) -tie

Sister Helen Prejean (Dead Man Walking)

Jacob Elinsky (25th Hour)

John Keating (Dead Poets Society)

Who would your 5 be?
