... and remembering that film is a media that specializes in a) visuals, and b) typecasting based on who you've been in the past....
What kind of character would you be playing?
For instance, me being "of medium height" and generally acting more like the type of man that women are going to ask for advice about JUST the right handbag, I'd probably be cast as
-The male secretary of somebody powerful, and who only gets more than a scene or two if he stumbles upon some damning piece of evidence (and either helps save the day, or gets greedy).
or
-The librarian or clerk of records who helps the leading man or leading lady find something in the card catalog or in the stacks. They'd probably show me eating a sandwich on the job at some point.
****
And yes, yes, we know already you WANT to be the leading man, but if you ALREADY LOOKED or ACTED like one of those guys, would you be posting here? 
So, be honest, look yourself in the mirror (physically and psychologically) and tell us who you would be cast as.
(And remember that this is 1946, so you're not going to be a programmer, a life-coach, or teaching skateboarding.)

I'd be the Philip Marlowe of the novels; they never did get anyone who came even close to capturing the guy of Chandler's novels. Kind of like how James Bond remains elusive to every actor who's ever played him.
And please tell us why they would cast you as him....

I'd probably be cast as a nut shrieking in a straitjacket being dragged past the private dick when he visits a sanatorium.

PS - I can't wait to see Preston in this picture!!!!
Having met him and having seen that cane he wields, I'm venturing it will be a colorful role.

I'm the leading goon's attorney. You're not really sure whether or not I'm on the up and up.

Yes, I think this works.
The guy with the double-breasted suit and the too-big, too-quick smile and your straight hair slicked back out of the way (I phrased it that way because if he ever gets in trouble and is on the lam from either the law or the wrath of his crime boss, his hair would become wildly mussed-up).
