Let's cast SDMB: The Motion Picture (or, who do you look like?)

Not odd at all. It's a sign of healthy self esteem.















(or delusional traits-you decide!)

[Dung Beetle]

More likely a lack of really ugly famous people.

[yellowval]

The first photo I uploaded gave me Meryl Streep (61%). Which would be awesome, but she's about 30 years too old to play me (and always will be). I scanned a second one with both my husband and I and it gave me Shannen Doherty (63%). Better age-wise, but she'll have to dye her hair blonde. I'm also 57% Owen Wilson, if anyone is interested.
My husband, on the other hand, had some bizarre matches. His first match was Nils Gustaf Dalen, and his second Morihei Ueshiba. Um, okay.

I was thinking the same thing. Even when I posted mine (Pat Benetar)I was thinking "I should have mentioned that I'm not hot, I just have very similar type looks". Kudos to those that are submitting photos of themselves, as it makes this game more fun. I would / will do it myself as soon as I figure out how!

And just to dispel the myth that we all look like the beautiful people, I've been told a lot that I strongly resemble Rosie Perez whom I find as ugly as she is obnoxious. I assume some people mean it as a compliment, but it makes me weep.

But Kevin Smith and I are about the same size, age, appearance and geekiness.
I can't help it if you think we are gorgeous. Hell my wife doesn't even think I'm gorgeous.

This is my only recent picture I have online, unfortunately without Beard.
This is the young guy my wife fell in love with. Big difference in Years and Weight unfortunately.
I don't know who would have played the young me.

[Beware of Doug]

In the role of Beware of Doug, we have secured the services of John Cusack. Eyebrows and mole by de Niro, voiceover by Christian Slater.

Ah, didn't realize you didn't know it was there!

The filename was "Liberal1.thumb.jpg", and the word "thumb" would indicate that it's a thumbnail file, which is a smaller picture usually used in an index of smaller versions of the pictures, to use as links (for shorter load times). But I tried taking "thumb" out of the filename -- just "Liberal1.jpg" -- and it's a larger version of the pic. (I noticed that a long time ago when you posted that to a photo thread).

Anyways, if you want to link to it in the future, here's something you can copy/paste:

[url=http://www.thenurseslounge.net/albums/Graduation/Liberal_001.jpg]eleanorigby[/url]

Paste this text into a post, and it will produce the following link:

eleanorigby

You can change the text "eleanorigby" in the above to whatever you want the link's underlined text to actually be.

[eleanorigby]

Dayum! That's big! It's the best pic I ever took, so I'm riding on it for the rest of my natural life. I figure in my UNnatural life, I won't care what I look like. I may have more pics online soon, if husband ever gets a site for our digital pics from our vaca to London/Paris. Who knows who I look like now? Roseanne or Diane Keaton? Katherine Hepburn or Rosie O'Donnell? Enquiring minds went to watch TV long since....

And a damn fine picture it is, but YES, get something more recent would ya'?

[RancidYakButterTeaParty]

Most often told I look like Rick Schroeder. I'll have to post the evidence later.

the young you is Topher Grace!

[Scumpup]

Think of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now, subtract a couple hundred pounds and you'll have a very good idea what I look like.

So if we do a flash back to 80's or early 90's Topher will play me, then current times will be Kevin Smith. Topher definitely has the Geek thing going. Close enough. I even did a little recreational toking back in the day.

What, am I going to admit that I really look like a baboon's ass? This is the internet! Lying about what I look like to strangers is the whole reason it was invented!!

Anyway, here, y'all tell me. Be gentle.

WOOKINPANUB: You look like my third husband

pravnik: Really? How many times have you been married?

WOOKINPANUB: Two


How about Christopher Knight ? That's not the best picture of him, but it could work.

[pravnik]

Bobby Brady? That's a first.

[DianaG]

Peter Brady. And too old, I'm pretty sure. As evidenced by the fact that you can't immediately identify each Brady!

[wolf_meister]

You mean whom do you look like ?

Well, I don't think there's any resemblance but my above correction would probably qualify me as Tony Randall.

Erm...whoops. You're right, he's got almost 15 years on me.

Skeet Ulrich is more age appropriate. And not so much with the busy these days.

I ask again -- you sure you're married?

If we're going for our younger selves, Peter Frampton could once have played me.

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

Umm..who for me?

As I really don't keep up with actors much.

Y'all white people won't be able to tell the difference, anyway.

Heh. Funny, that's exactly what my chinese co-worker said when I showed him a picture of my brother holding his new son.

'Course, no one believes it isn't me.

I ask you do we look that much alike?

[Jet Jaguar]

People are always telling me I look like Ultraman.

[Cartooniverse]

The role of Cartooniverse will be alternately played by Jabba the Hutt and Wallace Shawn.

Depending on how much articulation is required for the given scene.

I know this would work because when I had long hair I looked exactly like Alice Cooper.

Well, hello [B}RobotArm![/b]

When Iwas a bit younger, I used to get told I looked a lot like Barbra Striesand. I'm not sure that's a goodthing...

[Caractacus Pott]

If White Guy #2 was standing at the bar in a roadhouse, the Generic Big Biker Dude in the background holding a pool cue under the neon beer sign would be me. Later when the bar fight breaks out I'd toss White Guy #2 onto a round table that shatters into splinters just before I get knocked out by a captain's chair to the upper back. Sorry, Rodgers01, that's the part I look like I should play. At least in my mind.

I've been told numerous times I bear more than a passing resemblance to a young...I dont' know if I can admit it...naah, I can't...a young...no, I can't...a young...OK, gathering up all my courage...young Santa Claus. Personally I don't see it. Ruddy complexion, nose like a cherry, belly like a bowl full of jelly, twinkle in my eye, red stocking cap when it gets cold. But my beard is white only when it's below 10 degrees.

[garygnu]

The site says Matthew Broderick.
What do you think?
Can't say I disgree, plus Matthew is my real first name. (Shhhhh.)
Or, for the literary-minded, H.P. Lovecraft.
The only person anyone has ever said I look like is Jimmy Stewart.

[aside]
Did anyone else notice that site matches more on the angle of your head and the expression on your face than anything else?
[/aside]

[jackelope]

The part of jackelope will be played by the late, great Joseph Cotten.

[HPL]

Napolean Dyamite(the character) looks suspicously like HPL.

[Shirley Ujest]

The role of Shirley Ujest will be played by Rosalind Russell and since she is not available, ( being dead since 1976) Joan Cusack has the comic timing to match that pleases Ms. ujest to no end.

Attitude-wise, I could maybe see a bald, bearded Zach Braff or John Krasinski, or just about any male actor from any Joss Whedon show (I exhibit traits of most of the characters), but nobody has ever said I look like anyone famous.

You've got a bit of the Brad Pitt goin' on...you lucky dawg, you. Come 'ere...give us a hug...

[norinew]

All I can say is damn Roseanne Barr for getting all that plastic surgery and getting un-funny and stuff. Cuz now I don't know who will play me!

However, by this time next year, I expect to be down by 100 pounds or so, so I'll have to see who I end up looking like. Strange.

[BrainGlutton]

People have told me I look like Dan Aykroyd.

[MizGrand]

OMG this thing said Paris Hilton. Ummm, no. I think I'm much smarter!
Me

[anyrose]

smarter and much more human looking (Paris is SO fake)
I think I see a little Victoria Jackson in you as well.

[Charlie Tan]

He's ten years older than me, but Stellan Skarsgård could be me older brother (we're the same height [6'3"], hair coloring, build and with very similar faces). Or his son could play me in the movie about my younger and crazier days.

[irishgirl]

I flatter myself by thinking Penelope Cruz orJennifer Love Hewitt.

Someone short and brunette with big boobs- a pic ofme anyway.

Sorry to burst the bubble of anyone who still thinks I'm a red-haired pixie!

Penelope Cruz looks like a good choice.

Jim

[irishgirl]

That site said I most resembled either Kim Hee-sun or Audrey Hepburn (both 51%).

[Improv Geek]

***BREAKING NEWS FLASH***

Adam Baldwin (no relation to the drunken brothers) has just signed on to play the role of Ronincyberpunk, he is excited for the opportunity and believes he will be able to settle into the role quite nicely.

[Walloon]

Eve said I looked like Ewan McGregor and Dylan McDermott had a baby.

I got 60% Brian Eno and 52% Kohl. I noticed the Kohl pic had one eye slightly more closed than the other and so did mine. So anyone whose eyes go slightly squidgy when a flash goes off is obviously related to Herr Bundeskanzler.

I'm also 53% David Duchovny and 50% Alyson Hannigan!
And I'm just learning to play the flute! How did they know?

[Elendil's Heir]

HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Kyle MacLachlan has just inked a multimillion deal to play Elendil's Heir, according to studio sources. "He'll have to lose some hair and gain ten pounds, but otherwise it's perfect casting," said one insider....

Yeah, Penelope Cruz could work. I think you're more attractive than she is, though. Her face is kinda squarish.
