Ken Burns is filming a documentary about your life. What Celebrity do you want to narrate your story

[LynneSin]

After what Morgan Freeman said about the Tea Party - he can narrate any documentary about my life!

[ohiosmith]

1. Sam Elliott

[rurallib]

2. George Carlin

[LynneSin]

4. Not sure how good his voice will sound since he's been dead awhile

but sure!

[rrneck]

3. Gilbert Gottfreid

Clip from The Aristocrats. Definitely not safe for work. Or most anywhere else for that matter.

[NewJeffCT]

5. James Earl Jones

everything sounds better when he says it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Ditto for Avery Brooks.

[steve2470]

39. another vote for JEJ nt

[Chan790]

6. Colin Meloy.

Singer/Songwriter of the alt-folk balladeers The Decemberists and the alt-country quartet Tarkio. Meloy has one of the most distinct voices in music today but is more renowned for his wordplay and vocabulary, intricate story-telling and the randomness of his references. ("Neopolitan Bridesmaid" may be the only country song ever written to reference Camus, the essentialist theory of free will and anti-miscegenation laws)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjF75aJU5BA&feature=related Here is an interview he did in promotion of his second-to-most-recent interview, The Hazards of Love.

The Divine Miss M, herself

18. Kathleen Turner, with just a hint of a Southern accent.

Puuuurrrrr, y'all.

[sammytko]

19. George Cloony

20. David McCullough.

Good enough for so many others (The Civil War, 23 episodes of The American Experience, etc.), he's good enough for me.

It would, of course, be his most important work

[charlie and algernon]

31. same here, I want McCollough

[Graybeard]

21. Mike Malloy

Fans will remember when he read the entire George Orwell "1984" on the air. It was great and Mike has done other readings over the years.

She doesn't even have to use her "Galadriel" voice.

[Beer Snob-50]

37. morgan freeman

he can make watching a bowel movement seem educational!

[frogmarch]

38. Harvey Fierstein

I've been mulling it over ever since this thread first appeared, and I have made my decision. Harvey Fierstein. I used to sound rather like him when I talked, except for his accent, but my reason for picking him is that I like him and respect him.

[jobycom]

40. Ronald Reagan

I just want to hear him say "Joby's proudest political moment was casting a vote in the 1984 election against me."
