Who is/was your role model(s)/hero(s)/idol(s)?

Post Reply New Topic

John Walsh from America's Most Wanted was my idol when I was 11 and 12 years old.


My father was my idol throughout my childhood.


I don't know if my others would count as idols, or simply people I fell in love with!

Bender from Futurama, hands down

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were my childhood heroes.

Anita from 101 Dalmatians when I was 11 and 12.
Dottie and Kit from A League of Their Own when I was 14.
Sam from Benny & Joon.
Christopher Robin when I was 5 and Alice too from Alice in Wonderland.

Phil Lynott... a lot of interesting history surrounding this guy - a great character.

Also, for some strange reason, Lyon's (football team) Juninho Pernambucano.

Haha I love them, my favorite was donatello, mainly because he had a purple bandana(obsessed with the color purple when I was a kid), that movie was on the other day, mad good haha!

My all time heroes and idols.... hm I would have to say are my brother Jarrett(whom got killed from a car accident 7 years ago at the age of 19 and half) and my father(whom also passed away due to cancer last year)... My brother because he taught me everything, including affection, understanding, what is right and what is wrong, he was literally the only person in this world who didn't ever lay a finger on me, never hurt me once. He also showed me there are sweet guys out there, and to be happy.
My father, because he taught me never to give up, even though he was dying, and he got weaker and weaker, he wouldn't stop going until the day he died. He was a vietnam veteran, so he also endured a lot of pain in his life, but he never let it stop him from doing what he really wanted to do in life. He basically told me never to stop believing.

Austin Powers was my role model, ten years ago.

Sid is more of a twin.

Yes, in the abscence of a real father, I had to pick my role models from the television,
so my role model is the cybermen from Dr Who.

Actually that was a joke,

My real role models where Batman, (Adam West), Tarzan, and I quite liked Norman Wisdom.

I pity the kids of today who have had the strong but moral role models of the 1960s, replaced by violent criminals and thugs, but they banned Andy Pandy?!

Katharine Hepburn because I am named after her and because she was so strong willed and bloody minded...very strong lady.

Karen Carpenter because I could identify with her suffering and she had the most amazing voice.

My mother & father.

First three childhood heroes/role models that come to mind:

> Nichola Tesla
> Carl Sagan
> Michael Faraday

I was a strange kid. (Ha, "was". )

Good fortune,

- Icarus is a mad scientist...

Susan Sarandon because she's strong, intelligent, and a great role model for older women.

Alan M Turing

Albert Einstein

J Robert Oppenheimer

All three of them had minds WAY above mine and all three were misunderstood.

Ed Almos

Rudolf Nureyev

Jesus of Nazareth was, is, always will be my hero.

George Washington Carver.
