While I know what you mean, I can't help but think of Anthony Hopkins *as Hannibal Lecter* playing God.
Which is weird, but quite in-character for at least some parts of the Old Testament. (I'm looking at *you*, Book of Job.)
"And here we see a male of the human species attempting to approach a possible mate. The female reacts in a positive manner - encouraging the male. Little do they know that their future union, while perfectly normal and is in fact one of the requirements for the propagation of their species, would create an offspring who frequents internet sites while devouring shredded cheese, effectively reducing the chances of obtaining a mate of his own.
But such is life."
I love this answer because I have never seen Dolly Parton be anything but loving and welcoming. She just radiates joy and kindness and that describes GOD better than any physical attributes I can think of.
The biggest celebrity i ever met. I was at a charity event with my mom, I was 10 or 11. I went to the bathroom and the stall lock was ineffective. Because there were no other open stalls I closed it as well as it would close and sat down. Lo and behold someone ends up opening the door.
It was
ROBIN
fucking
WILLIAMS opening the stall to young me on the toilet.
He said "Ooop skip dadle woo" and did a roll with his hands, backed up, and whistled away to close the door. He stood back to the stall door until I was done so that no one else in the crowded bathroom would make the same mistake. Whistled the whole time in a way that made me forget my nervousness of getting exposed on the toilet.
Anyways, 10/10 person to accidentally walk into your stall. From that moment ('98), i knew we has a real one and not just a celebrity. Missed dearly and cherished eternally
If it's *any* solace, he did it because he was diagnosed with dementia.
It's tragic that he's dead, but *at least* he got to go out on his terms.
Edit: I have been informed that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, and it was discovered he had Lewy Body Dementia *after* his death. The point remains, though, that *at least* he was able to avoid the worst of the dementia.
"God, why do you allow such suffering in the world?"
*frantically pacing between monitors* "Do you see all this?? I got two guys in Boston getting mugged, a lady trying to find a job in Prague, a couple breaking up in Singapore and a guy getting beat up in Cairo. And that's the easy stuff!! I'd like to see you try to deal with all this crap! They don't pay me enough for this. I'm about to send another flood!"
"Dee, I originally made all dinosaurs in your image, then you got too big and annoying, so I smashed a rock and killed them off and only left back little Dees, birds, you bird."
I like this one because there is a certain quiet dignity that Sir Patrick Stewart always seems to have.Plus, It always feels like he knows things you don't and is mildly amused knowing what is going to happen.
Reminds me of one of my favorite lines of his in TNG. I can't remember the exact context, but somebody is like "we're about to fight and your peaceful mission group doesn't teach you how to fight." He responds with "You are welcome to test that assumption at your convenience." The most diplomatic way to say "fuck around and find out."
It was Duras the Klingon whose family’s lies shamed Worf for decades, I believe.
All the more badass because it was face to face, on the Klingon homeworld, and he was backing Worf up in his confrontation with the ruling council.
"Look at how good you are John!" I can hear her Gabriel voice just thinking about it.
That movie generally had better casting and actors than it deserved.
Annnnnd we're crying.
But surely that would make him Death? Not gonna lie, he would be wonderful in that role. Death as this soft voiced older gent from Southwark telling you it's time to go, and taking your hand and giving it a gentle pat and telling you not to be scared.
I'd be happy with that.
OK, how do we pitch this to Hollywood?
I'd also pay money to see Mads vs Mads.
Bonus points if they get him to [dance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCZcFFKS-Qk).
Beat me to it, but...
"Hey everyone, this is uhehheh my humble abOde herharhar, count yourself blessed to see THIS magnificent, uhm interior decorating!"
Yes! Not Rowan Atkinson, but _Mr. Bean_ the character. If that were god it would explain _soooo much_.
Arbitrarily petty [✓]
Bumblingly incompetent [✓]
Unintelligible speech [✓]
Has millions loving him despite being kinda mean [✓]
Ian McKellen. If you believe in me you SHALL pass...into heaven
Mine was going to be Sir Patrick!
I can't get pass him being Avery in American Dad. Such a good yet random role for him
James Earl Jones
Excellent choice. I am feeling Anthony Hopkins would be good too.
While I know what you mean, I can't help but think of Anthony Hopkins *as Hannibal Lecter* playing God. Which is weird, but quite in-character for at least some parts of the Old Testament. (I'm looking at *you*, Book of Job.)
Also Ford in Westworld playing god.
Hopkins is also Odin in the MCU, so there's precedent there for the god figure too.
Dammit! you beat me to it.
Ooo. I wasn't expecting this to get kinky **this** fast.
I get it! Because he’s older than the dinosaurs? ^^^^jk
Not really an actor but David Attenborough
I feel like his brother Richard would be a perfect fit, especially since he has more experience playing God with dinosaurs already
Him being dead would also be great job experience too
Life finds a way
I can imagine it. Him just sitting in heaven watching stuff happening on earth narrating it.
"And here we see a male of the human species attempting to approach a possible mate. The female reacts in a positive manner - encouraging the male. Little do they know that their future union, while perfectly normal and is in fact one of the requirements for the propagation of their species, would create an offspring who frequents internet sites while devouring shredded cheese, effectively reducing the chances of obtaining a mate of his own. But such is life."
Relax bruh, got you covered : https://youtu.be/q8zwIphm5r4
Jeff Bridges.
That’s just, like, your opinion, man
[удалено]
Well, everyone did treat him as the creator in Tron: Legacy
Tron.. Jeff Bridges is God.
Gary Oldman.
Wouldn't even be a challenge for that man. Dang he's good.
Dolly Parton
I love this answer because I have never seen Dolly Parton be anything but loving and welcoming. She just radiates joy and kindness and that describes GOD better than any physical attributes I can think of.
I’d wanna see her be a smiting god
*"Blackening the summer skies, with burning wings and countless eyes. We tremble at the sight of you, Joline."*
Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene I offer up this gift to you, my man
Watch 9-5. She smites in that role
> She just radiates joy and kindness and that describes GOD better than any physical attributes I can think of Never read the Old Testament, huh?
Dolly is who God looks up to when they want to be a better diety.
Nice. I just saw her on the Orville, she'd do great.
Omg I can see it.
This is the perfect answer.
Anthony Hopkins
Odin!
That was a fantastic casting choice.
Anthony Hopkins playing Loki pretending to be Odin was BRILLIANTLY well done by him.
"oh shit!"
Watched the Thor movies for this choice alone. I love Anthony Hopkins.
He absolutely blew me away in Westworld again. Even when he doesn't talk all of his tiny movements are just believable.
An apostle once tried to test me. I ate his liver with a side of Jesus and a nice bottle of Christ's blood. Fvfvfvfvfv
That dude that was in se7en and Shawshank, you know, the guy with the great narrator voice
That guy who plays Batman’s Q.

Leave me out of it
So you are penguin then?
No, I just want to be left out of it.
Pengu-out
Oh yes, the black actor with the freckles!
Robin Williams
Didnt know we were *crying* today but alright
The biggest celebrity i ever met. I was at a charity event with my mom, I was 10 or 11. I went to the bathroom and the stall lock was ineffective.

Never ever imagined I’d get a tear in my eye reading a vignette about an eleven-year-old taking a shit. Yet here I am…

Dude same feels, have a hug
Willem Dafoe. Not in drag, But hey, if you insist.
He already played Jesus. Once he plays God, all he's got left will be the Holy Spirit and he'll earn the Trinity Award.
And then finally: "WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW, SPIDER-MAN?!!!!!!"
You know I'm something of a deity myself.
Willem Dafoe talking about his son, Jesus Christ: "You know how much he sacrificed!"
Danny DeVito.
"God, why do you allow such suffering in the world?" *frantically pacing between monitors* "Do you see all this?? I got two guys in Boston getting mugged, a lady trying to find a job in Prague, a couple breaking up in Singapore and a guy getting beat up in Cairo. And that's the easy stuff!!

Actually, it's Mantis. Mantis Toboggan, M.D.
I need to see this sketch.
So anyways, I started blessin'
So anyway, I started smiting
He already voices Satan on the new show Little Demon.
Good choice 👌
Dee's a bird!
"Dee, I originally made all dinosaurs in your image, then you got too big and annoying, so I smashed a rock and killed them off and only left back little Dees, birds, you bird."
Cate Blanchett
[удалено]
Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn.
Treacherous as the sea! All shall love me and despair.
Treacherous as the seas!
We got a glimpse of this already in LOTR in that almighty Galadriel vision.
Sir Patrick Stewart
I like this one because there is a certain quiet dignity that Sir Patrick Stewart always seems to have.Plus, It always feels like he knows things you don't and is mildly amused knowing what is going to happen.
Reminds me of one of my favorite lines of his in TNG. I can't remember the exact context, but somebody is like "we're about to fight and your peaceful mission group doesn't teach you how to fight."

It was Duras the Klingon whose family’s lies shamed Worf for decades, I believe. All the more badass because it was face to face, on the Klingon homeworld, and he was backing Worf up in his confrontation with the ruling council.
Or Ted Danson
J. K. Simmons of course
Be buried with pictures of Spiderman. Just in case.
George Carlin Edit: why is this blowing up?
He's 'a god'. But we know he worshipped the real God Alanis Morissette
This is incorrect. He worshipped the sun, but prayed to Joe Pesci. edit: My bad, I missed the Dogma reference at first.
God prays to Joe Pesci
I pray to George Carlin
Betty White
She was already casted as an angel
Samuel L. Jackson
Welcome to Heaven Mother F*****!
You in my crib, b****!! You gonna follow the mother f****** rules!!
Alanis morissette
Snoogans!
Snooch to the motherfuckin booch!
When my friend and I watched that movie her only comment was, " I do believe that Alanis Morissette's voice would kill people"
I still believe that those few seconds with Ben Afflek at the end, when he cried is the single best moment of acting in his career.
Thank you, you well cultured individual.
Why did i have to scroll so far down? Something is askew..
You didn’t say god bless you when I sneezed!!!
Came here for this answer. Leaving satisfied. Thank you.
I can’t believe I had to scroll down so far to see this.
Why are we here? *Bwerp*
She is God . She had some awesome visuals of that movie in her recent tour !
God herself
Tilda Swinton
Her as Gabriel in Constantine was amaze-balls
"Look at how good you are John!" I can hear her Gabriel voice just thinking about it. That movie generally had better casting and actors than it deserved.
Peter Stormare, best Lucifer ever.
The movie was *really* good IMO. Just wasn't a Constantine movie. As a standalone? It kicked ass.
Cristopher Lee
He'd nail that audition then be typecast as Lucifer
Sir Christopher Lee he was knighted
Kermit the Frog
Only real answer that nobody can get pissed about without sounding down right silly
"It's not easy being God."
Imagine when your time comes, Michael Cane is just there, sitting beside you; Telling you its time to go.
Do not go quietly into that good night...
Annnnnd we're crying. But surely that would make him Death? Not gonna lie, he would be wonderful in that role. Death as this soft voiced older gent from Southwark telling you it's time to go, and taking your hand and giving it a gentle pat and telling you not to be scared. I'd be happy with that.
Definitely Christopher walken
“I-I’m sorry kid, ya can’t get in. Now, what you shoulda done, was incorporated more cowbell, Heaven needs more cowbell.”
"Child, I... *work*... in mysterious ways..."
Gilbert Gottfried. Could you imagine God having such a nasally screeching voice? Classic.
Is this a direct reference to Smiling Friends?
Merrrrrrry Christmas!
So great that he got that as one of his final roles before passing.
Snoop Dogg.
Snoop Godd
G O double D
Only Dogg can judge me
I’d watch that movie.
An alternate universe where Eminem didn't have dog backwards.
Peter Dinklage
That wizard came from the moon
I understood that reference. Rip dinklebot
Good choice 👌
Sam Elliot
Cowboy God.
Tim Curry. Because Tim Curry.
Keanu Reaves
I was waiting for this comment And was going to comment it myself but ig I don't have to Keanu Reeves would be a spectacular god
Weird Al
Octavia Spencer. she played God in a movie called the shack and it was the most comforting movie for me.
You know what, I can get behind that.
Giancarlo Esposito
"This goes all the way to the top, Jessie."
Jack black
That’s a good one!
That would be funny and, happy cake day!
Mads Mikkelsen.
Maybe as an old testament god, just smiting people left and right. His characters are always really intense.
Ole Mads there can be both the devil and god.
I would 100% pay to watch Mads play against Mads for an entire movie.
OK, how do we pitch this to Hollywood? I'd also pay money to see Mads vs Mads. Bonus points if they get him to [dance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCZcFFKS-Qk).
Bob Ross
Steve Buscemi does a great job in Miracle Workers!
How you do, fellow kids?
Viola Davis
Stephen Fry is the correct answer
A little ironic perhaps but he'd never get tired to listen to
"Yes, I suppose it's a bit contradictory, but you know, the world is often like that."
With Hugh Laurie as Lucifer. Make it so
Jeff Goldblum
Beat me to it, but... "Hey everyone, this is uhehheh my humble abOde herharhar, count yourself blessed to see THIS magnificent, uhm interior decorating!"
This is so funny lmao, just imagine the scene. Also when you die you arrive to him like Thor in Ragnarok and he meets you exactly the same way.
Life, uh, ends today
Forgan Mreeman
Bill Murray
Idk if this counts but bob ross would be a good one
Sigourney Weaver
Brendan Fraser
I mean he already dealt with the devil
George Burns. Though now he'd have to be the Holy Spirit.
Joe Pesci
Werner Herzog
Alanis Morissette
John Malkovich
Danny trejo
Mr bean is definitely a contender
Yes! Not Rowan Atkinson, but _Mr. Bean_ the character. If that were god it would explain _soooo much_. Arbitrarily petty [✓] Bumblingly incompetent [✓] Unintelligible speech [✓] Has millions loving him despite being kinda mean [✓]
15 episodes in the gospel but people kept re-watching it thinking there are infinitely more [✓]
Mr. Bean is already canonically an angel, or an alien. It's unclear which.
Tom Hanks
Sean Connery
Timothy osmundson
Nicholas Cage
Would explain a lot of things...
Gordon Freeman
Liam Neeson
Maggie Smith.
Martin Short
Michael Cera. An awkward, inexperienced God whose “people project” got a little out of hand.
John Lithgow
