Help me with my lazy tuxedo costume

May 16, 2009 2:01 PM

I'm supposed to dress as a movie character for an event. My lazy plan is to wear a tuxedo and say I'm James Bond. Who else can I be?

I figure there must be many characters I can be with just a tuxedo, and I'd like to be able to tell different people different things when they ask me who I'm supposed to be. I'm tall and skinny with medium length brown hair, if it matters.

Nick Charles. You must carry a classic martini with you all night, though.

Most of these guys.

Danny Ocean (the Sinatra/Clooney character from Ocean's Eleven).

With a pencil-thin mustache, you could be David Niven.

You could make this more of a point by sticking something egg shaped on your shoes.

Oh. Sorry - that's not really a movie character. That's just what I usually go as to any costume events.
