I was a big Michael Jordan fan growing up. I don't feel my game resembles his though.
Kristin Chenoweth had been my personal idol since I was, like, 6 or 7.
Not a lot of people get to meet their role model and idol in life, and I've been really lucky that way.
The best part appearing in 'Jersey Girl' was meeting my idol Jennifer Lopez.
On a personal level, my mom is my biggest inspiration. She's always been an idol for me. I used to dream about growing up and being like her.
I am not Spock. But given the choice, if I had to be someone else, I would be Spock. If someone said, "You can have the choice of being any other TV character ever played," I would choose Spock. I like him. I admire him. I respect him
My biggest hero, Gregory Peck, was my birthday present on April 14, 1973. I just sat and stared at him.
James Brown was my favorite, my absolute idol. Every time I played with him was like a music lesson, and I never thought I could be so funky! I mean, a white boy from Canada - a Jew - getting down with his funky bad self!
Elvis was a major hero of mine. I was probably stupid enough to believe that having the same birthday as him actually meant something.
Kim Gordon is my biggest style icon.
Annika's my role model, and I wish in the future I could be like her.
I've patterned myself after my musical heroes.
D-Wade is my favorite player of all time.
George Best was my idol. I got a chance to meet him once.
I'm such a big fan of Woody Allen. I once tried staying at the same hotel as him, hoping I would bump into him!
When I was 17, I read a profile of Carol Leifer. Since then, I wanted to be her. I still want to be her.
When I found out that I was going to be singing with Jennifer Holliday, I literally freaked out! I grew up listening to her, and I was going to cry because I sang with someone who is a huge inspiration to me.
Joe Mauer, as a local guy, I've looked up to him.
I am a big fan of Chad Johnson. I think that I would compare myself to him as well.
For as long as I can remember, my acting crush has been Meryl Streep.
Since I came an adult - for more than 45 years - Marcus Aurelius has been my great idol.
But Stacie Orrico was my childhood hero. I was about 12 when I found her music. She is a contemporary Christian artist, and I can honestly tell you that I don't think I'd have a soulful voice if I didn't listen to Stacie. I wanted to sound just like her growing up, and to this day I STILL think I sound a little bit like her. But she is AMAZING!
I just wanted to be like my dad, Jesus. He was a good shortstop.
Bill Bennett really became an idol for me. I listened to him every morning from 6 to 9 for, oh, years.
When World of Dance came around, what I really liked about it was it's from dancers for dancers. For me growing up as a dancer and becoming an actress, Jennifer Lopez really was this icon in that world to me.
