Of all of the actors that have played God in the movies, which is your favorite?

Scribe: Marla3174 asked "Of all of the actors that have played God in the movies, which is your favorite? Which came closest to portraying the real you?"

God: VERY INTERESTING QUESTION. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLAYED ME IN THE MOVIES.

Scribe: I bet.

God: STARTING JUST WITH THE ONES WHO LENT THEIR VOICES, YOU'VE GOT EVERYONE FROM ED ASNER, JAMES GARNER, JOHN GIELGUD, GENE HACKMAN, CHARLTON HESTON, ROBERT MITCHUM AND MARTIN SHEEN.

Scribe: That's quite an impressive list.

God: AND THEN YOU HAD THE VOICES OF "FUNNY" GODS -- PEOPLE LIKE RODNEY DANGERFIELD, BILL COSBY, KEVIN SMITH, TREY PARKER, MATT STONE. EVEN FLIP WILSON.

Scribe: Anyone that struck you as odd?

God: BOTH ROGER MOORE AND VAL KILMER HAVE VOICED GOD CHARACTERS. AND ALANIS MORISSETTE PLAYED ME IN THAT "DOGMA" MOVIE.

Scribe: So how about your favorites?

God: IN TERMS OF ACTORS WHO ACTUALLY PLAYED A PHYSICAL EMBODIMENT OF ME, THERE ARE MANY ON THE TELEVISION SHOW "JOAN OF ARCADIA" THAT DID AN ADMIRABLE JOB. BUT THE MOST FAMOUS IS PROBABLY GEORGE BURNS' PORTRAYAL OF ME IN THE "OH, GOD" MOVIES. THOSE WERE CLASSICS.

Scribe: What about Jim Carrey in "Bruce Almighty"?

God: JIM CARREY PLAYED BRUCE. IN THAT MOVIE, MORGAN FREEMAN PLAYED ME. HE IS ONE COOL CHARACTER. TO ME, IT'S A TOSS-UP BETWEEN GEORGE BURNS AND MORGAN FREEMAN AS TO WHICH ONE WAS MY FAVORITE PORTRAYAL OF ME.

Scribe: Which of them came closest to the real you?

God: NEITHER. I'M TOUGH FOR ANY ACTOR TO PORTRAY.

Scribe: Tom Hanks could probably do it.

God: I DON'T THINK SO BUT I'D LOVE TO WATCH HIM TRY.

Scribe: I'll call his agent.

God: YOU DO THAT.
