2. Mark Lester
Oliver Twist
Oliver!

Role: Confused outsider
Identical Traits: Street urchin, pale, In a world I wasn't made for, quiet, scared.

I went into a high achieving convent school full of middle class girls who had been learning French since they were 2. Having come from the ghetto, I spent the first few years of school like a rabbit in the headlights.

3. Jack Wild
The Artful Dodger
Oliver!

Age: 13-18
Role: Loveable Rouge
Identical Traits: Street urchin, Cockney, Laugh-a-minute, Cheeky.

I soon realised that my working class routes were some what of a commodity among the middle-classers and cut my niche as the joker/cockney rogue.

4. Richard E. Grant
Withnail
Withnail & I

Age: 19-23
Role: Very English drunkard.
Identical Traits: Fully stocked wine rack, vast knowledge of liqueurs, annihilated liver, Thespian aspirations, unfounded snobbery, manipulative.

Too much of my time is spent in wine bars and pubs or drinking Co-op Prosecco in inappropriate places. I have also tried rubbing myself in deep heat to keep out the cold.

5. Maggie Gyllenhaal
Lee Holloway
Secretary

Age: Mid to late 20s
Role: Sexually deviant colleague
Identical Traits: Easily manipulated, sex crazed, power hungry, middle of the road job.

As I settle into a proper long term career, this is inevitable for me, considering how easily I get bored and my attraction to authority figures.

6. Winona Ryder
Susanna Kaysen
Girl Interrupted

Age: Early 30s

It seems a fair assumption that at some point I will be sectioned by my family, albeit short term.

7. Sandra Bullock
Sally Owens
Practical Magic

Age: Mid 30s

I'll head out to the country about this time and get in touch with my inner gypsy, maybe crack out a potion or two.

8. Anjelica Huston
Morticia Addams
The Addams Family

9. Julie Walters
Molly Weasley
Harry Potter

Age: 40s

The remainder of my life will be spent gossiping with chums over back garden walls, going on pensioner weekend breaks and making the most of an endless amount of free time.
