Several years ago, when I was a security guard at the L. A. County Office of Education in Downey, CA, someone told me (I was in the uniform at the time) that I look like Malcolm Forbes, Jr.!

Diane, I always thought that you looked like, well… Diane! You know, from Cheers? If you never saw the show, Diane was a beautiful, smart woman in the first few seasons.
People often tell me I look like (insert current “People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive”)
But seriously, I’ll have a newer pic on my web site soon (the picture on there now is from last year. Since then, my hair has curled, for some strange reason. The pic on my site kinda shows you what the waves are like). Oh, and I’ve lost the braces since then.

When my hair was short and spiky I got a lot of Charlie Sheen. Some drunk girl kept swearing I was at a bar one night. Very strange. She kept asking how working with Michael Douglas and William Dafore was
When I had my hair very long and straight, I kept being told–but random strangers as well as friends–that I looked like Madeline Stowe (of Last of the Mohicans). I never did see a resemblance, except for the long, dark, straight hair and dark brown eyes. Once I chopped the hair into a bob, the comments stopped.
I’ve started growing it out again…and just a month or so ago, the comments started returning.
I was also told–very frequently–that Jaime’s (Helen Hunt) sister on Mad About You was reminiscent of me. Not so much looks, they said, but her brash, direct, whatever personality (and her sense of style). This horrified me–she’s a flaky freak! Now that the show’s popularity has died down, though, those comments have finally stopped.

At the office, people have remarked that I look an awful damn lot like Billy Bob Thornton (one person even goes so far as to call me Billy Bob. Sandy, if you’re reading this… pfffffrrrt! ). Whatever. I don’t personally see the resemblance, but it could be worse.
Yes, I AM an agent of Satan… but my duties are largely ceremonial.
When my hair was chin length, I got Leonardo DiCaprio. When my hair was about 5 inches, I got Tim Robbins. Now that it’s about 3 inches, I get ‘hottie’ or ‘stud’ more than anything else.

We are the children of the Eighties. We are not the first “lost generation” nor today’s lost generation; in fact, we think we know just where we stand - or are discovering it as we speak.
I used to hear that I looked identical to Kendall from “All My Children” - this was, say, 8 years ago when she and I both had long dark hair. Now she’s Buffy from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and we’re both blondish, but I don’t hear it nearly as often.
The big comparison I get now is Topanga from “Boy Meets World” - I’ve never really followed this show, and the only times I’ve ever seen this character she’s been about 12, so I have NO idea if it’s even close. It may just be because she’s a blonde with blueish eyes and has a tendency to look somewhere between sullen and pouty at times. There’s this expression she makes every once in a while that looks like a face I’d make, but other than that I don’t see a real similarity.

to ME? To something I

abundantly clear over the
tenure of our friendship
that I don’t know shit?”
Diane from Cheers? Really? Naw, the only thing we have in common is the name and color of hair. Other than that, I really don’t look anything like her, but thanks.
Heath - Charlie Sheen? DAAAAAMN! I think Charlie is HOT!

Coffee, chocolate, men . . . Some things are just better rich.
Back when I graduated college and my hair was longer, I was told I looked like MacGuyver and, once, some football quarterback who played for the Redskins – I can’t remember the name.
Now, with short hair, all I get is: “Are your eyes really that blue or are you wearing blue contacts?” Lots of people ask that. If I was wearing blue contacts I’d be pretty embarrassed.
