So! Michael Cera! What career-changing role should he take to break the "George Micheal" typecasting?

→[More:]

I'll go first.

A FTM transman with anger issues.

A Con-Man using the dopey twee-heart schick as a cover.

A violent serial killer who targets magic pixie dream girls.

Hardnosed wunderkind Wall St. type, climbing over his elders and betters to reach success.

Pensive bookish cub reporter on the trail of a particularly grisly killer. It turns out that --- gasp! --- he is the killer!

Rainman remake: he plays both parts.

He could play the same stereotype over and over again for the rest of his career, and I'd never stop loving it. Also: Clark and Michael.

Also: Michael can sometimes be difficult to work with.

He should play ColdChef in "ColdChef: The Movie".

I read his wikipedia entry and I still don't really know who he is. I figure I am about ten years behind the times before the good stuff pops up on my netflix radar.

Me, too. It's great to be old.

Seth Rogen has gotten too skinny to play my fat ass.

OMG the role I want to see him play is totally the character from ColdChef's link!

BTW, I may be old enough to be his mother, but I still have a movie star crush on the guy. Michael Cera, not ColdChef. Sorry, ColdChef.

You can just hear it, can;t you?

"I like, when it's red."

"When-"

"the blood. When the blood is red-red like that. It means they're healthy. Dark blood is diseased, or, or bad, inside. And black blood is from the ..the stomach. It's been digested. I like it when it's red. Feels cleaner. Better."

I wish Michael Cera would stop making movies altogether. I wanted to slap the shit out of him in Juno, and he's making me pine for Wiley Wiggins, whom I loathe with a white-hot passion.*

*all hyperbole about current actors and how much I loathe them is simply hyperbole meant to ironically indicate how much I don't enjoy their films.

I'm looking forward to his new movie with Edgar Wright
