It is! But I’m referring to the hat. Erm, sock cap? Knitted hat, sometimes with a pompon on the top?

Sounds like what we Canucks call a Touque.

At which point I left the bathroom, went into the bedroom where my husband was and said, “Omigod. Tell me who I look like.”
Husband looked up and said, “Jay. Jay and Silent Bob.”
That was a lowering moment.

He told you you looked like Jay and Silent Bob? Ooh. Burn.
Jim Carrey.

Once on a job interview, I was asked whether I was related to Angela Lansbury. The interviewer said “You look just like her.” Auggh. I hope not.
I’m constantly told that I look like a mixture of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Colin Farrell, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, James Dean, and Cary Grant.

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.

Yeah, same situation here. I used to get Molly Ringwald a lot when I was in high school (this was in the 80’s). I look nothing like her but I have red hair.

I’ve been told that I look like a lot of people (and these people don’t look very much like each other).
What do Bernadette Peters, Carrie Fisher, Stockard Channing, and Swoosie Kurtz have in common? Apparently they all look like me.
[/QUOTE]
I can see the Carrie Fisher comparison!
I’ve been told a few times that I look like Tom Hanks, and once Weird Al. Bad as I am with faces, I’m not going to try to dispute either.

Molly Ringwald- No.
I dare you to deny your resemblance to Cynthia Stevenson.

Myself- over the years: Orson Welles, Richard Masur, Burt Lahr (sp?)
I used to get Christopher Reeve back in the day.
At a conservative estimate, I have been told several hundred times that I look like Steve Martin. I don’t.

I sure do see a resemblance to Richard Masur. Which, IMHO, is a good thing.
I don’t look like anyone, but my parents, when younger, bore a passing resemblance to John and Yoko.
Back in the day when my hair was darker, a lot of people told me I looked like Clark Kent.
Funny, when I took off my glasses, nobody thought I looked like Superman.
I was walking across the campus on Orientation Day as a college freshman when a very pretty girl came up to me and said,
“Are you coming to the party tonight?”
“Ummm…I…uh, don’t know…what party?”
“David, stop playing around! You said you’d bring hot dogs.”
“I’m sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone else. My name isn’t David.”
“Oh, knock it off will you? Are you coming or not?”
“No, really, I’m not David”.
“You’re serious, aren’t you? Oh, freak out! You look exactly like a guy named David who’s a junior here.”
“Small world, I guess.”
“Well, maybe I’ll see you around…”
She walked away, mumbling about how embarrassed she was. I walked in the other direction, thinking a) Hey, I look like some guy who’s apparently popular with some sweet young things. Cool. and b) How the hell did I let myself come away without an invitation to this party? Bummer.
Half an hour later I saw a different girl pull the same trick on some other unsuspecting noob. It was a sorority gag. :smack: 
As for famous people, I got nothin’. I kinda look like Billy Bob Thornton…only different.
Prince Edward Windsor - I used to get this a lot, less so nowadays.
And one time when I grew a beard, Tsar Nicholas Romanov
I used to get compared to Alyson Hannigan back in my younger, skinnier days.
These days, not so much. I’m looking much older and fatter.
Though most days I feel like this.
People tell me I look like the Prince of Wales. And when they say Wales, they mean Wales. They know a whale when they see one.
