Louise Brooks. Not so much any more. But then, hell, I probably still look like her when she was my age. ---

The only person who has ever told me I look like someone else was an artist who had just come back from Comic-Con. He cornered me in the hall and said, “Do you know you look just like [Chris Ware](http://www.niemworks.com/else/im/sf_cware_show/chrismarnsf.jpg)?” (Chris is a moderately famous alternative comic artist.) Well, I really do. He’s got a little less hair and I’m a little fatter, but the bone structure of our faces is almost identical. I even wear the same glasses. It’s kind of spooky to see photos of him. (Sorry … no photo of me for comparason … .) ---

Ok, I look like: Winnie Mandela Hee Seop Choi Jay Chou Alan Tam Alec Guinness Mena Suvari Anjelica Huston Serena Williams Zhang Yimou Kanye West …WHAT? I am either an Asian or black man, or a woman. I’m actually a Whitey McWhiteyson male. ---

[QUOTE=FriarTed] Myself- over the years: Orson Welles, Richard Masur, Burt Lahr (sp?) [/QUOTE] Add Ralph Fiennes to that list. Over the decades, I’ve been compared to Peter Frampton, Elton John, Kelsey Grammer, and – get this – Denzel Washington. ---

[QUOTE=Carlyjay] I’ve heard everything, and pretty much none of it true. I was told I look like Nicole Kidman, Marcia Cross and Shirley Manson. I look like none of these people, but people’s insistence that I look like these people is part of the ARLA Syndrome (All Redheads Look Alike). I’ve noticed this does not seem to happen with other hair colours. I’ve also been told I look like Uma Thurman, though I mainly heard that when _The Avengers_ was released, which is when she played–surprise!–a redhead. [/QUOTE] Hello, I love you. 😃 ---

I’m a fat bloke with a beard. I always hope that one day somebody will say I look like Orson Wells. No such luck. I passed a couple of American tourists the other day. one of them did a double-take as they came up to me and after I’d gone by, I heard him say: “Hey, wasn’t that the Farenheight 911 guy?” ---

Elton fucking John. Who I personally think is hidesou, so that makes me an eyesore. Although several times last year, separate people said “you look just like…” and I thought, “fuck’s sake, here it comes again…” then they surprised me by saying “Russell Crowe”. Others say Kenneth Branagh. ---

Clint Black - My eyes can’t take bright light, so I wear dark black glasses outside. The only hats that fit me are cow boy or stocking, so I wear the cowboy hat to cut glare. I get the Clint Black comments when dressed like that. I had long curly hair that seperated into ringlets if not combed while drying.so at one point I was told I looked like a greek god. That only was in reference to the hair, not other body parts. I lost a lot of hair when sick, so I can’t claim either of the above now. ---
