In an old entry I wrote last year (now deleted, so don't bother looking for it), I speculated on which actor I would choose to play me in a movie about my life (These are the things we speculate on in our idle moments here in Oxford. Politics? Sport? Bah! We prefer to indulge in ego-stroking exercises, proposing extremely handsome and rich celebrities as our alter egos.)

The topic came up again last night, and we tossed around names like Matt Damon for Mr. "I'm going to Yale Law School so I must be a superhuman", Edward Norton for Chris, Drew Barrymore for Marina, Eddie Izzard for Chief and Nicole Kidman for Steph. However, given that I'm not terribly familiar with many Chinese actors, I'm still drawing a blank as to who would play me. I can easily identify people to play my family- Ti Lung for my father, Rosamund Kwan for my mother, Leon Lai for Ming.

But who would play me? My first thought, off the top of my head, is that the actor I would love to have play me would Alfonso Ribeiro. His portrayal of Carlton embodies much of the same spirit in which I try to live my life, and at the same time his physicality, his smugness, his elitism, his insecurity and his love of Tom Jones all suggest aspects of myself. He was always my favourite character on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

But there's the small problem of, he looks nothing like me...

So this is where you come in, readers of Confucius at Oxford. I want to hear your suggestions for who should play yours truly in a movie about his life. Feel free to suggest anyone who comes to mind. I would prefer if you justified your choice, but it's up to you. Let's hear your ideas!
