Acting : What roles are on your bucket list? by Doug Kayne

We've all got them: The roles we're dying (not literally, but who can turn down a good death scene?) to play. Some of us are lucky enough to get to cross one (or more) off our list of roles we want to play before we die. Michael Chiklis, for example, was a huge Ben Grimm fan growing up, so it was a dream come true to be able to play The Thing in Fantastic Four.

I've got a few, though some are more concrete than others. Here are some specific roles that are on my actor bucket list:

Hines in The Pajama Game

The Dentist in Little Shop of Horrors

Zac in A Chorus Line

Ted "Blue Beetle" Kord

I've also got a few more nebulous, open roles I want to play:

I'm perfectly suited for a lawyer role.

A tropical detective

A superhero

A supervillain

Virtually anything in the Star Wars universe.
