The Hapsburgs? Yes, when I was walking out of the main art museum in Vienna, by another American that I knew. When I was in high school my right eyelid was a little “lazy” giving me a slightly Asian appearance, so people told me I looked like the character from _Kung Fu_. Yes I am that old. ---

[QUOTE=bouv] The only two people I’ve been told I look like are George W. Bush (blech! And I don’t see it at ALL, though that was just one guy who thinks that,) and a few people told me I look like [Liev Schreiber](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000630/) (he played Cotton in the Scream movies, and that CIA agent that goes to Russia with Jack Ryan in “The Sum of All Fears.”) [These](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/axpauction/PICT0078.jpg) [two](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/axpauction/1.jpg) photos are the only ones I seem to have online at the moment that don’t involve me giving a goofy face, or have some facial hair (which would muddy up the comparison,) or both. [/QUOTE] Yup. The second one would make me think of Liev Schreiber, too. ---

I get told I look like Keanu Reeves or Christian Bale occassionally, but my dentist threw me for a loop a few months back when she told me I looked like Texas Governor Rick Perry, which I think she meant as a compliment. :smack: I went and got a haircut as soon as I left. ---

(a) obligatorily, DAMN you dopers are an attractive bunch. Time for another flirt thread… (b) I don’t resemble any famous real person, afaik. But I’ve been told repeatedly that [I](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/maxthevool/detail?.dir=4dfc&.dnm=e871.jpg&.src=ph) look like [Artie Ziff](http://www.answers.com/topic/ziff-gif), Marge’s ex-boyfriend from **The Simpsons**. Also, I’ve been told that I look like [Napoleon Dynamite](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0374900/Ss/0374900/0025.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0374900). Clearly, it’s the JewFro. ---

[QUOTE=Clockwork And Candy] .

[QUOTE=malkavia] I had a friend a year or two back that insisted I was the spitting image of [Julianne Moore](http://love2lovegwen.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/julianne-moore-22.jpg) . [I’m not.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/97804399@N00/251495780/) Aside from that, my mom ran across a Paul Mitchell add in a magazine 10 years ago and insisted that the girl in the ad could’ve been my twin. I did see a tiny resemblance, but I have no idea who she was and I haven’t seen her since. [/QUOTE] Wow… BETTER than Julianne Moore! ---

When I have dark red hair, I get Alyson Hannigan & once I got “that girl from Six Feet Under” (I don’t watch the show, so I’m not sure who that is - a redhead, though). Now that I have my natural brown hair, I’ve been getting Tina Fey a lot, especially since I’ve lost weight. Hey, I’ll take that! [This](http://www.flickr.com/photos/badbadrubberpiggy/161787110/) is the only current picture I have, and I’m all squinty and making a funny face. ---
