I usually wear my hair pulled back, but when I wear it down, I get Kid Rock a lot, especially when I’m hanging out in Detroit. I can tell my friends have noticed someone staring because they’ll start calling me “Rob,” which is Kid’s real name. My fear is that people think I’m _trying_ to look like him. Now if only I could run into Pamela Anderson. ---

When I had long hair, heard that I looked like [Bono](http://grammy.aol.com/images/press/bono.jpg). When I started shaving my head, I heard [Patrick Stewart](http://www.digitalsingularity.com/photography/images/madame_tussands/Tussands-Patrick-Stewart-11.jpg) more often. Lately it’s been about half & half. Actually, I think I look more like Bono. ---

Depending on the light, my haircut and my weight: Father Guido Sarducci. I went as him one Halloween and had an interesting time with a lapsed Catholic girl. Edward James Olmos Beat Takeshi Obviously, women rarely hit on me for my looks. ---

Turns out there’s a Richard Burgi fan club and fan site – oddly enough, [http://www.richardburgi.com](http://www.richardburgi.com). I think there’s a resemblance, **Zanshin**. ---

Well, when I was overweight and had a goatee, I was told several times that I looked like “that big guy on ER”. Subsequently I discovered this was Abraham Benrubi, and looking at pictures of him on the net, I can see some resemblance. We have similar eyes, I think. Here’s a comparison. [Abe Benrubi](http://www.csh.rit.edu/~phbob/Benrubi/abgoj.jpg) [Me, in 1997, when I was overweight and had facial hair](http://members.cox.net/genseric/images/goodyear.jpg). There is not a lot of visible detail in this picture, but the resemblance is there. [This](http://members.cox.net/genseric/Me-Hawaii.jpg) one is a clearer picture of my face, and I can see some similarity, even though I hadn’t grown the beard yet. Once I lost weight, I started getting comparisons to Drew Carey, which is seen in [this](http://members.cox.net/genseric/images/xmas.jpg) picture. I don’t really think I look like Drew, it’s more of an angle thing. [Here’s](http://members.cox.net/genseric/images/Darin2.jpg) one of the better pictures of me taken recently. Strangely enough, in my most recent driver’s license [picture](http://members.cox.net/genseric/NewDL.jpg), I think I bear a passing resemblance to David Letterman. Additionally, when I was in [college](http://members.cox.net/genseric/images/college%202.jpg), I was told several times that I looked like Meat Loaf. I think all fat guys with long hair get that one, though. ---

**Genseric** that’s actually kind of amazing. None of those guys look like one another, yet in each photo you do look like whichever celebrity is named. ---

Yeah, I’m pretty sure if I was still heavy, and had a beard (and wore contacts) I could easily pass that picture of Abe Benrubi off as myself. I think even my mother would be fooled. He has more hair than I do, but he is wearing a hat in that picture, after all. ---

I get [Wallace Shawn](http://www.ufp-terminal.de/pics/wallace_.jpg) a lot, which bumfuzzles me because I’m underweight and still have all my hair. [I don’t see it, myself.](http://216.232.71.251/~larry/miscpics/mudd_schmoe.jpg) For some reason, folks don’t seem convinced when I say “Wallace Shawn?! _Inconceivable!_” Whatever. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by B.Pants \* > \*\*Both friends and strangers randomly exclaim, “Hey! You look like Renee Zellweger!” Oddly enough, part of her name is part of my name. Personally, I don’t see it. I see myself as looking more like Thora Birch. \*\* Are we twins? Seriously I have been told that on occation and my middle name is Renee! Also when I was younger my mom thought I looked like Molly Ringwold. ---

This year I think I’ll go with a cleft chin, and maybe, aside from the look, I’ll add a British accent. ---

When I was younger, thinner, and dreadfully more melodramatic and gothy, I often got compared to [Robert Smith](http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/ChainofFlowers/robfleurdelis.jpg) Now, after years of working desk jobs and being happily married to an outstanding cook, I looke more like [Kevin Smith](http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Music/9901/26/alanis/link.kevin.smith.jpg) Maybe I should change my last name to Smith… Oh yeah, here is a current picture of [me](http://home.armourarchive.org/members/woeg/images/me.jpg)…slightly grungy, since it was taken at the armoury I work at, after I had finished polishing a ton of armour. I’ll let you decide… ---
