Did anyone ever tell you that you look just like <insert famous name here>?

I was told years ago that I look quite a bit like Melissa Gilbert. I still do, to a degree.

One of my high school drama teachers said I reminded her of a young Baryshnikov. No linky because (a) she didn’t say I looked like him and (b) what, you don’t know what he looks like?

Someone once told me I looked like Al from Home Improvement. That was when I had hair, though.

I think I look a little like Bob Wickman, but Soon-to-be-ex-Mrs. ToKnow is still kind enough to say I don’t.

No, although my mom used to wear her hair long and wear lots of turtlenecks.

I used to get Jodie Foster ALL the time. Then I gained some weight no one said it for a while. Now that I’m losing the weight I guess the resemblance is coming back, ''cause I’ve had more people ask me in the last few months than in the last year or so.

Here’s me.

And this is Jodie.

Depending on who you ask, some people see the resemblance and some don’t. Either way I consider it a compliment.

My roommate looks exactly like Molly Ringwald. I won’t share her pic without permission, but she gets it often enough that it’s gotten really annoying for her.

You’re cuter than Jodie.

I was just told last night that I look like Kate Winslet.

This is me.

I’m pretty sure she was just making things up. Scratch that, very sure.

I was at a party and a girl said I looked like “the guy from Superman 2.”

Superman? No, no. General Zod? No! The other guy. The one who doesn’t talk.

I sought out some pictures later, and I’m not sure I appreciate the comparison.

I always thought my mum looked like Audrey Tatou.

I’ve gotten: that chick from Jag and Katherine Heigl.

People tell me I look a lot like Quasimodo.

Jeez I don’t half get the hump at that

Ever see the 1970s movie TRILOGY OF TERROR where the woman is chased by the knife-wielding African demon-doll? That woman was Karen Black. A remake was done a few years ago by USA Network with someone else.

More recently, Karen Black played Mama in HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES (tho not in the sequel THE DEVIL’S REJECTS).

Btw- for me, Richard Masur or a “cross between Orson Welles and Santa Claus” or Victor Buono.

I see it.

When I have long hair in a ponytail I’m “Penn and Teller”, no-one knows which one I am but I’m “Penn and Teller”. When my hair is shorter but really curly I used to get called Jack Osbourne. I suppose yes I am fat and do wear glasses but really I look nothing like either of them especially now since Jack got all super-buff.

Aye you kinda do but you’re far better looking than Ms Winslet.

In my 20’s = Don Novello (Father Guido Sarducci)
In my 30’s = Edward James Olmos (Miami Vice)
In my 40’s = Robert B. Parker (Novelist)

I am not aging well.

When I was in my early 30s, at least two different people told me I looked like Harrison Ford when I took my glasses off. I never could see that myself (naturally; not wearing my glasses :D). I think I’ve grown out of the resemblance, though, if it really ever was there.

Once my father got to be about, oh, 60, he started bearing a striking resemblance to Jack Lemmon.

Tom Cruise. Twice, about ten years apart.

I don’t get it either. Me.

When I had long hair and goatee, I did get Jesus occasionally.

Seconded and the motion carries.

Aw, shucks.

Thanks :slight_smile:

I’ve been compared to Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), but I find the fact that it’s always coming from creepy old men to be influential. I’ve got the dark hair, forehead scar, abundance of chest hair and… the green eyes Harry is supposed to have? Might post a pic later on today (not of the chest hair).

And here we go: Me
