Transformers (doesn't matter which one)
An odd question to ask screenwriters. I'm a writer not an actor, I wouldn't want to play the lead in ANY movie or TV show.
Neither, I am no actress. The stage scares or cameras scare me. Although learning how to do it properly is supposed to improve your writing a lot.
Buffy, definitely. She's a kick-ass character!
First two seasons of Weeds!
I think it'd be cool to be a zombie in The Walking Dead or any George Romero film!
I am more a character actress and can play Grandma to perfection. So I totally would have loved playing Sally Fields role in Brothers and Sisters. It would have been family day ever day.
Never gave such a question a thought. As a screen writer that has also given acting a shot... I have a hard time playing anyone. I stand too tall for most actors to be in the same frame with. I am 6-5, 240 pounds, very solid build, I am past 60 but clearly look 40, in excellent shape -- no wrinkles. I do not look like the 'warrior' type or 'athletic' type. I suppose I would love to give the part of Valentine Michael Smith a shot (if they ever made Stranger in a Strange Land)... It is really hard for someone 6-5 with my build to be in a movie when most actors are under 6'.
Definitely would love to play a role in Mad Men-love that series, so well written!
Bowfinger.
Oh , hands down I'd want to be the next great masked slasher. At 6'6, I've got the height and physical presence. I could have a lot of fun with that sort of Michael Myers/Jason Voorhees action. Bring on the meat cleaver and machete!
