However, media is already quite a boozy working environment and I don't think the industry could quite cope with another self absorbed, self righteous alcoholic. Other potential candidates include Martin Sheen (hero and all round nice guy), Dr. Manhattan (he can literally do anything) and the T-800 from T2 (for protection, like).

What is interesting is the different ways these obsessions manifest themselves - in the States celebrities generally seem to be glorified whereas in the UK we seem to love nothing more than to cut them down. Basically it would have to be someone who earned their fame, rather than being a manufactured icon. That said, I could probably handle going to work on, sorry , with Jessica Alba for a good few years. Socrates and Da Vinci are definitely good calls. I'll go for someone living though - Richard Branson. He's tried his hand in about every industry going so work would never be a bore. He has a healthy sense of adventure, two private islands, is doing lots of good humanitarian work and who wouldnt want to be on that first commercial flight into space with him on Virgin Galactic??

Kurt Vonnegut (so it goes) because of his wry, humourous, humanist take on life - everything would always be in perspective. Or, perhaps, Voltaire in a Candide mood.

Or, one of the great Philosophers: Socrates, Kant, Humes as we would have great conversations Da Vinci would be one crazy guy and always coming up with innovative ideas that could spill over into media. Undecided as of right now.
