ESPN Radio had (what I thought was) an interesting topic. If NFL QBs were Hollywood actors who would they be.

For example...

Brett Favre - Clint Eastwood (old timer still kicking ass)

Eli Manning - Toby McGuire (a good actor but it's not like anybody walked out of a McGuire movie and said that movie would have sucked if it weren't for Toby McGuire)

Tom Brady - George Clooney

I think Favre is more like Harrison Ford. Both did great things early in their careers (Favre with the Packers from 94-98; Ford with Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark); Both kind of lost some steam for a while, even though they were still viable properties and big stars; and both enjoyed a resurgence late in their career (Favre this season; Ford with movies like Air Force One and the new Indiana Jones flick).

And, with their mutual baldness, I'd have to say Matt Hasselbeck is equal to Telly Savalas.
 
Phillip Rivers and Bruce Willis - sure they can both be pricks but they'll walk barefoot on broken glass.

And I may be willing to upgrade Eli Manning from Toby McGuire to Kevin Dillon.

That's a downgrade. Toby McGuire is a pretty good actor. Kevin Dillon kind of sucks.
Now, Eli Manning and Casey Affleck (guy got out of the shadow of his older brother by having a big year...that's more accurate.)
Oh, and Aaron Brooks/Martin Lawrence. They look a little bit alike and they both suck donkey balls.
