If you were making a movie, who would you get to play God?
I was watching the Biography channel and this question came up. Whether you believe in God or not, what actor or actress would you get?

10. Yes, she would be a good choice.
A kind face, but could be stern if needed.

14. If Chris Elliot was God, that would explain a lot.....
...all those questions people always have about how fucked up the world is, and why God allowed X to happen, etc.

15. Alanis Morrisette
She already perfected the role and since Fundies hated Dogma it would be fun to make that a running joke in Hollywood. When I run Hollywood I will make that a rule.

my cousin Mark Dailey, the lead anchor at CITY-TV in Toronto. He's also the VOICE of Much Music, City TV and Bravo in Canada.

28. Lots of people...
I would make God be like that demon in the Denzel Washington movie "Fallen", where He transfers His spirit into another being just by touching them. Really play on the concept that God is Everywhere.

Just kidding! I think I agree with Maya Angelou, although she's not an actress as the question was posed. What actor/actress? Tough one. Can't answer.
