I have regularly been told that I look like a much younger [Ron Jeremy](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000465/). I’m not sure if being compared to a porn star is a good thing or not. -Belz ---

I know what his penis looks like thanks to working in several porn stores over the years, his face isn’t why he was so popular, let me just tell you. So… if you think about it, that could be a huge compliment! 😃 ---

I constantly am told I resemble Richard Dreyfus. To the point that I end up finishing sentances that start… Them: “Hey, ya know who you look like?” Me: “If you say Richard Dreyfus, I will kill you.” Them: “Gulp. Never mind.” ---

I’ve heard Molly Ringwald, Liv Tyler, Isabelle Adjani, and when I was in highschool, Alyssa Milano…It’s crazy what other people see you as looking like! I look like none of these people. ---

Sigh…a woman told me I look like Mimi on The Drew Carey Show. I have straight brown hair and wear very little makeup and conservative clothes, but if you’re plump, some people don’t even really look at you. And she really thought she was paying me a compliment…was a little insulted that I wasn’t delighted by the comparison. ---

Once, someone said I look a little like [Julia Stiles](http://us.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1028/Events/1028/stiles_julia2.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Stiles,%20Julia). Certainly not anything to be ashamed of, but I’m not so sure. Maybe if I did my hair/makeup like that, sure … hmmm … I should try that. ---

In my younger (military) days, I was told a couple of times that I looked like Tom Cruise (in his younger, _Taps_ days). Tom’s gotten a lot uglier while I have simply improved on his former good looks. :rolleyes: ---

**Sauron** gets told every so often that he looks like Jim Carrey. I DO NOT see it at all. I used to get the Alyssa Milano thing when I was in high school and had the really, really long dark hair. Not so much anymore.
