I disagree on John C McGinley, and that last picture made me shriek and drop my drink. Scary.
You're spot on about Parsons, though, and I love it.

At first I thought, "John C. McGinely? What?" And then I thought about it. Yes. I agree. And he calls R2 girl names all the time.

Jim Parsons was the first person I thought of when I read the title.
McGinley seems like an unusual choice, though he IS pretty fussy on Scrubs.

Looks aside, Hugh Grant acts like C3PO in most of his movies.

Oh my god, Doug Jones looks very similar to Benedict Cumberbatch.

"It's Richard Dreyfuss!!!!! DAMN YOU! I told you I didn't want to wear the DAMN MASK!"

Also, David Hyde Pierce voiced Doug Jones.

Danny Pudi!

@John G: Do look up all the things he's been in though. It'll blow your socks off.
But... virtually all of them, he's completely covered in make-up and prosthetic
appliances. Really cool stuff!

AgileBeast: Brilliant, and perfect! I wish I'd thought of him.
Posted by: Dustin Rowles at January 25, 2012 3:21 PM
Dear Lord! Doug Jones is terrifying!
Posted by: Helcat at January 25, 2012 3:30 PM
From Doug Jones' IMDB filmography:
Pretend Time (TV series): "Gay Robot"
We have a winner!

What????
John Cleese!
Posted by: Natalie Pomerantz at January 25, 2012 3:34 PM
He looks like the saddest Cassidy brother ever.
Posted by: Mrs. Julien at January 25, 2012 3:34 PM
Definitely Jim Parsons. I also agree with Hugh Grant or Danny Pudi. Also I'll throw Tilda Swanson out there
Posted by: Colin at January 25, 2012 3:40 PM
Of the Swinton Hungry Man Dinners Swansons, bien sur.

Anthony Daniels?

What the holy hell is happening to David Hyde Pierce's chin?
Posted by: Jerry at January 25, 2012 3:50 PM
Doug Jones is an amazing actor. His movements are so fluid that even under the makeup and prosthetics there is a real performance. He was both The Fawn and The Pale Man in "Pan's Labyrinth" the Gentlemen in the stellar Buffy episode "Hush", and Abe Sapien in Hellboy to name a few. It may not always be his voice in those roles (if the character speaks at all) but the characters come to life through him.
Playing 3PO would be a step down at this point.
Posted by: TylerDFC at January 25, 2012 4:08 PM
I always thought Abe Sapien was David Hyde Pierce.
Posted by: mswas at January 25, 2012 4:11 PM
Mswas: Just his voice.

John C. McGinely as C-3PO
(Loud attention getting whistle) R2-D2 reels back in alarm...
Didja understand me that time you rolling Simon game? I'm so sick and tired of translating your Melblanceese. Either learn to speak for yourself, or stop rolling off on your own spouting off vague three chirp answers like a wanderlust collie with chronic gas...I might be an interpreter droid but I don't speak fluent moron.
(turning to Leia) ...And by the way Princess Ballbuster, while I appreciate you not squealing when you're in trouble like Nancy O'Whineypants over here. The fact of the matter is that it really doesn't help your cause to act like a stuck-up bitch to everyone- including the people who came here to save your bacon. We get it, you're pissed off about the Empire and all the things they've done. Understandable. But if you don't learn to sweeten the tone there, folks who would have otherwise helped you will leave you in the garbage heap and fend for themselves.
(turning to Luke) ...And as for you Junior Space Cadet, Dontcha think its high time you stopped playing with the glow-in-the-dark butter knife that you only took up about an hour ago and put on your big boy pants? The galaxy is a mean and nasty place and I can assure you that if you intend to be taken seriously, you either need to get some real training or just stick with what you know, And am I to understand you had Lord Badass in your gunsights and passed on shooting him even after he made like Paul Bunyan on your mentor? If you pass up on such opportunities now, don't be surprised when it comes back and bites off your hand later.
(Han and Chewie snicker, Threeepio whips around) ...That's it! Listen up Captain Big Head Todd & the Hairy Monster. I know you think sitting around, working on your hot rod and occasionally muling sticky-icky-icky for Sluggo McFattie for beer money makes you bad to the bone let me put that fiction to bed like a Dr. Seuss tale. You got swagger, you got attitude but you got no substance. Oh and by the by I'm just not buying the bull-dinky tough guy act. Maybe you can be a mean ole hombre, but until I see it up front and not just under the table, you're less Eastwood and more Steve Miller. And if you don't get that reference, I suggest you look it up Mr. Unit of Distance in Place of Unit of Time.
...Shuffle off in a huff with accompanying guitar riff.

How is Tim Gunn not on this list? I mean, he's not really an actor, but neither is Mittens.
Posted by: Siege at January 25, 2012 4:37 PM
Alan Cumming!
Posted by: BitterKitten at January 25, 2012 5:28 PM
Best. Star. Wars. Post. Ever. Bluejayone. That's EXACTLY what I imagined when I saw McGinley's name up there.
Posted by: lubeg at January 25, 2012 5:41 PM
You realize that Anthony Daniels' image truly and rightfully belongs in this post.

Can't believe no one mentioned Roddy McDowall.
Posted by: chris at January 25, 2012 11:40 PM
Tim Gunn would be my choice.
Posted by: Az at January 26, 2012 12:09 AM
Jaleel White. No, seriously.
Posted by: Virgo47 at January 26, 2012 12:49 AM
Malkovich

C3PO would definitely be a red-head.

Holy Demons from Hell, what IS that last picture of? Hide your eyes. It's not human.
