So I’ve heard my Mama G talk about a game that she and the other humans at her former workplace used to play in which participants would decide which actor or actress would play whom if ever there were a movie made about the place. Apparently Mama G’s coworkers thought Jamie Lee Curtis would be a fine choice to play her, and she was OK with that.

It got me to thinking about who I would like to play me in the hypothetical movie, and it only took me a second to come up with the answer: Sam Elliott. Why? Well, there’s the obvious: his voice! I mean, who can resist that, man or woman? OK, and he has a fine set of whiskers, too. But mostly, it’s the voice.

You see, I have this problem. On the outside, I’m as manly as can be. I look tough, and buff, but the minute I open my mouth, the jig is up! I let out this tiny little kitten squeak. It’s really embarrassing!

So when I hear Sam speak, my tail just tingles. Wait, is that a little too weird, as in “the love that dares not speak its name”? Oh well, whatever … it is what it is.

And for those of you who aren’t familiar with Sam’s voice, here’s a video of him talking about what else: his voice!

And just for the ladies, I’ll add this photo of him in his younger days.

Maybe if Mama G’s dream comes true and I’m famous someday, he can be my voice in the animated movie. Are you listening Sam?

I should mention, too, that Sam has a new movie out, The Hero. Go see it, and revel in that voice!
