What celebrity do yall think could be, or possibly have been a projectionist?

Brad Pitt, played a projectionist in Fight Club, and he seems like he would be good at the job, but he was most likely just acting. I think Jeff Goldblum looks like he would make a good projectionist. I dont know what it is about him, he just has a certain look about him. Or maybe its the characters he has played. Who's youre pick?

Kramer - Kenny ( that flying reel killed Kenny!!)- Buster Keaton - Herman Munster - Marty Feldman - Eric von Stroheim - Benny Hill and his cousin Phil.......

My vote is for Richard Dean Anderson, as the character he played in the McGyver series! Keeping a show on screen at all costs and actively thinking during problematic times would be his most valuable traits in the booth- who wouldn't want him in their booth??

Jennifer Aniston. Well she would probably make a poor operator and even keep the best ones in the theatre from doing their job. But who wouldn't want her in your booth. [thumbsup]

Steven, in that case, I pick Jessica Alba!! [evil]

I'm already a good operator, so as soon as I develop some kind of talent in a field other than projection, I can become a celebrity and end up with my name on this thread.

Given the physical appearance of a number of operators, Danny DeVito would fit right in

Scroll to the bottom of John's first link and look at the role "Akio Shinguji" played. Interesting.
