What character would you want to be from Terry Pratchetts Discworld?

If it were a live action film or TV series, I would love to play Esme Weatherwax, it's the headology you know!

Update:

Mellors-read the whole question, d**khead, in a live action TV series, like if you were an actor!

Update 2:

No, No, No, Please keep David Jason out of anything, as an actor he makes me cringe, certainly not Rincewind, a tall skinny underfed man? Hardly, David Jason was in Hogfather over last Christmas, unwatchable, YUK

Update 3:

No Carrot, Angua, Nanny Ogg?

    I'm nanny ogg!that role was made for me,but knowing my luck id be cast as magrat!i also didn't watch hogfather for the same reason as you didn't like the actor,don't watch the programme,my little kid liked it.i don't know his name in real life but the actor who plays nick in my family would be a brilliant rincewind.

    Lord Vetinari, or maybe Sam Vimes. I share their combination of cynicism and dogged hope that maybe despite all the evidence, preserving civilisation is worth the effort! But my friends tell me I am really Mustrum Ridcully!

    BTW, have you heard the rumours that David Jason is to play Rincewind? I love him as an actor, but physically he is just wrong for the part!

    I think I'd like to be either Death or Moist Von Lipwig.

    Death because I can see the existence of humanity but don't quite see the point.

    And Moist Von Lipwig because it would be a fun character to play. A con man playing it straight but with all the con tricks still available.

    Leonardo d'Quirm

    Cos he's brilliant, way ahead of his times and often thoughtto be bonkers.

    It's either him or 'bloody stupid' johnson, the inventor of things that don't quite work right. Though as he never actually makes an appearance in the books, just his inventions it may be a tad tricky playing the role!

    I'd love to voice Gaspode "Woof bloody Woof " has some great lines especially as Deep Bone or Sergeant Colon .

    Hmm... well I haven't read too many Discworld books (only about 1 and a half...) so... I want to be Death! That would be cool! He's a really funny character too.

    I'd play The Librarian!!

  • 1 decade ago

    I think either Susan (cos she's cool and still gets to be DEATH sometimes) or Angua (cos she kicks the rest of the police around)

    The librarian. I'm built for the part. Ook.

    William de Worde, or the vampire photographer.
