If you could have anyone who ever lived narrate your life, who would it be?

It has to be either Morgan Freeman (bet you 9700% of the people here said him too, I ain't reading through all the post to make sure) or (if they can somehow bring him back to life) Kurt Cobain.

Now that I think of it, the guy who played Rorschach in the Watchmen movie narrated using his Rorschach voice, that'd be pretty sweet too. (wouldn't help make my life sound any more interesting though.)

I read this entire thing to find no one has picked my choice: Sam Elliot [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000385/].

He would make even the most inconsequential parts of my story seem important and sound good doing it.

Of course Morgan Freeman, Ron Perlman and Stephen Fry are great choices, but to everyone who mentioned JD from scrubs, there are an endless number of people whose voices are more appealing on that show... I would particularly say I'd love to have the janitors clipped, to-the-point cool style or his counterpoint (which to me is amazing because they so infrequently interacted), Dr. Cox's over the top exaggerated frustration and exuberance that makes words three times as long as they ought to be.

Oh, I just thought of another. Patrick Warburton. He was made for voice-overs.

Dylan Moran.

"Oh and what are you doing now?! Sleeping? That's SO boring! Go jet-ski or something."

Finally. Dylan Moran gets mentioned. It's about time I made a Black Books thread. Anybody care to help?I'm highly inept at writing.

Stephen Fry and Somegreybloke [narrator of..narrator] would work, too.

I'd have Sean Connery do it. Hellz yea

george takei ^^

 

[Malkure]

Christopher Walken for sure.

 

[Nargleblarg]

Morgan Freeman his voice could put a baby to sleep in the middle of a active war zone.

 

[shadowelancer]

Morgan Freeman

 

[Nickflip]

James Earl Jones, of course.

 

[LilGherkin]

Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, John Luvits (If I feel like having a funny day), James Earl Jones, or Mark Strong.

i'm not sure why you'd want him to narrate your life though. he'd make everything depressing, and describe everything from 6 different view points and it would still be boring.

That's the point, to see how much my life can be overnarrated. Having someone - anyone - narrate your life is gonna get boring pretty soon anyway, why not make it a challenge?

 

[Gado911]

Patrick Stewart

 

[hopeneverdies]

James Earl Jones or the announcer/narrator for movie previews

 

[stiver]

Edward Norton.

"I am Jack's monotonous life."

 

[Plauged1]

Sean Connery. Yahtzee.

So many good narrators...

Edit: Stephen Hawking as a narrator would be weird...

I have a friend who talks and writes in a very similar way to Rorschach. So I'd pick him. Assuming he never got tired of it, and was always at his peak. Oh, and preferably if he'd be quiet while I had sex. That could be awkward, considering he's about 50.

 

[RobbPWNS]

I'd have either Dane Cook or Yahtzee do it. I mean, if I could get both to do it, then I'd have the most pwnage life ever!

 

[jp11]

I'd have Ron Pearlman narrate my life
