A little while ago, Michael D’Agostino, of A Life Examined, brought up the idea of a new blog hop called Question of the Month. He thinks blog readers would like to know a little more about us, the bloggers. So we’re all gathering to show you guys who we are by taking part in the Question of the Month blog hop. On the first Monday of each month, we answer the question that gets posted here.
This month’s question is: “Who would play you in a movie of your life?”
This is actually a question I’ve thought about; not because I’m an egomaniac or anything, but because of a question I often ask other authors when I interview them. On a past blog anniversary, I interviewed myself asking the same question, “Who is so you (or me) and why?”
Of course as time passes by, this question becomes more and more difficult to answer. There are so many new, up and coming, and undiscovered talents out there; should my story ever be told on the big or small screen, I might not even be familiar with the person taking on the role. As long as they are relatively cute (I see myself as relatively cute), have dimples, and brown skin, I’ll be happy…
Although, we may be reaching a level of technological advancements and make-up artistry where anyone could play any role regardless of their natural skin color, but that’s a discussion for another day.
I’m trying to start a new bookish blog hop for anyone who might be interested. Please check it out. BooktagsBlogHop
Please check out the other participants in this hop and even join in if you’d like.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

I had a tough time with this question as well since my life, thankfully, is not the stuff of great film. I will check out your new blog though.
Thanks, I apprecitate it.
So, someone like Abe Vigoda playing you is out of the question? That’s fair.
Always so hard to pick someone…
If Abe actually gets the part, he deserves it.
I had thought about this question a lot too before it became the topic for this month’s QoM.
I’ll check out your new blog. 🙂
Thanks, I appreciate it.
You know, I’d never considered this before this blog post. My life will never be interesting enough for a movie haha .. but way to not pick anyone 😛
I figured I’d leave it up the experts. I’m no casting director.
Well, I hope if they make a movie of my life they pick someone much better looking than me to play me. LOL
I didn’t think about that. I like it.
Yeah it’s a pretty standard question. An oldie but a goodie 😉
Yeah, I liked this one. Can’t wait to see next month’s question.
Yeah, there are so many unknown actors that you just never know who could show up to play you. Probably do a better job than the well known idiot ones too.
Yeah, some actors are so well-known that they aren’t very talented anymore.
Viola Davis? She’s so talented. I think she’s beautiful, and I bet you are beautiful, too. Is she too old?
Love,
Janie
Yeah, she’s much older than me, but gorgeous enough to still probably be able to pull it off.
Hi Toi and thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I appreciate your comment and I think your answer to the question was honest to say the least. You have a beautiful smile and I bet they could find someone to play you without any trouble!! Hope to see you again!
Thanks for the compliment. It’s always nice to get one.
I have a hard time with this one as well. I was thinking, I have white skin, I don’t dye my hair, so it’s brownish/greyish, and I’m middle aged. I just went off of who other people have said I look like, and who I like.
That’s typically how it goes. Thanks for stopping by.
