Contest: ENTER TV & Media Avatar Contest - Actors Playing Actors

[od0_ital]

First off, thanks for all the votes in the Christmas contest.

Secondly, thank you to Saint John Talbot for the suggestion for this contest.

The new contest will be "Actors Playing Actors". Examples would be Michael J Fox in The Hard Way, half the cast of Tropic Thunder, or anyone who has played John Wilkes Booth in a movie about Abraham Lincoln. Actors playing themselves in cameos do not count.

With the holidays coming up, entries will be accepted for a week, the poll will go up next Thursday-ish.

Entries must conform to board rules, up to 200x200 and 140kb if animated (that's still the limit, right?).

Good luck!

For my entry, I'm going with Robert Downey, Jr playing Kirk Lazarus playing Sergeant Osiris in Tropic Thunder

I haven't watched Fargo, so I don't know how Campbell played the role, but I suppose I'll allow it, since he was an actor before he was the president.
