Movies with my Name

I love watching films that have my name in them. Its not a common name so there isn't to many movie that feature it. Ones that I can think of are 'Message in a Bottle', 'Terms of Endearment', and 'Quest for Camelot'. So I've been played by Kevin Costner, Jack Nicholson, and voiced by Cary Elwes and have been a widowed shipbuilder, a retired astronaut, and a blind hermit. I also remember back in 97' the show 'Extreme Ghostbuster' has a Garrett character who was in a wheelchair. I was even tempted to buy the figure just to have the name on the box. I remember that I originally watched these films just b/c they had a Garrett character. It's cool hearing my name on screen. Although I think in Terms of Endearment they called Garrett mostly by his last name. It seems that my name is used more as a last name for people on film or TV. I did a IMDB search and it mostly came up as last names. The one famous last name is Pat Garrett the one who shot Billy the Kid.

    Yeah, your right it's cool when the character has similarities to yourself. I can see a bit of myself in all three characters.

    Hmm - I haven't really done any of that, but then again 1/3 of all women born the same time I was are named Jennifer, so I suppose it would be a little repetitive/overwhelming.
