Celebrities' Dream Jobs

TV Stars Dream Jobs

Bonnie Hunt
'The Bonnie Hunt Show'

"Definitely medicine. I was a candy striper as a teen and became an oncology nurse. I loved being with patients. Everyone has a story, their own movie. You're very selfish when you're a nurse. Everyone needs you, is so happy to see you, that you get a tremendous amount of fulfillment."

Lance Krall
'Free Radio'

"I'd want to be an assassin for hire. I'm not good at anything else other than this, but I do fantasize quite a bit about sitting up on top of a really high building in some foreign country with my scope on someone. I don't know why, but I just would love that."


VH1

Nathan Fillion
'Castle'

"It has to be one of those jobs where I make my own hours. I can work from home, but I have an office anyway. People work for me, and I make money. I would guess some sort of service I could provide, something where the demand on me is really low but the return is really high. I don"t know what that would be. Maybe someone reading this can tell me."

Sarah Chalke
'Scrubs'

"I always joked it would have been a barista. I have a cappuccino maker in my house, and I've sort of thought of that since one of my boyfriends in high school let me put on an apron and make cappuccino at his job. But serious answer? My parents have an adoption agency. My sister works with them. It's been part of our lives forever. It was interesting -- they'd take us to orphanages [in China] when we were growing up. If I hadn't gone into acting I would probably be working with them, too. Would I adopt one day? I would love to."

Ron Perlman
'Sons of Anarchy'

"I probably would have been a teacher of some kind, because I like to communicate. I enjoy the academic world. I still toy with the idea of starting a class here. I'm not handy. I can't fix things, can't balance a tray on my arm. I drove a taxi for awhile. The amount of things you rule out with a guy as untalented as me is bigger than the list of things you'd do."

David Spade
'Rules of Engagement'

"My father and my brother were in advertising, so I could say I would follow that same route, except I wasn't the brightest bulb on the strip -- I didn't get good grades -- and I don't think I could have succeeded in that field. I was a skateboarder, but I wasn't good enough to make it as a pro. Show business was the best solution. Once I could pay the rent, I was successful in my eyes."

Kathy Griffin
'My Life on the D-List'

"I wish I could be an interior designer. I have a great love for architecture and design. I don't have the talent to back it up but I would go to school and learn."

Harry Hamlin
'Harper's Island'

"I'd have two dream jobs. I would very much like to be a theoretical research physicist. The other would be to be a forest ranger. I might be able to do both at the same time. I could have wireless satellite hooked up to a laptop where I could do my physics and still be in the high Sierras at the same time."

Cheryl Hines
'In the Motherhood'

"I think I would be a psychologist. I really appreciate psychology."

Eriq La Salle
'ER'

"If you're an artist and you're blessed to work in that, there is no other job, you know? It's always going to come back to something creative. If you can't act, you direct. If you can't direct, you write."
