sorry meant to quote this post. the guy looks more like Hugh Lurie to me…
He really DOES look like Kevin Bacon! Any pics of your dad in Pacino garb?
At my first “real” job, I worked with a guy who looked a lot like John Malkovich, and a woman who looked a lot like former SNLer Mary Gross.
I went to the campus print shop to get a photocopy of a picture of my dad as a young man for an art project. I handed the pic to the guy, and he asked, “Is that Leonardo DiCaprio?”
I hadn’t noticed before, but yeah, there was kind of a resemblance, there.
Nowadays, he’s a dead-ringer for Johannes Brahms.
When I was younger, people constantly asked “has anyone ever told you that you look like…” and I’d rudely cut them off with “yeah, Bette Midler. I’ve heard.” Later, when my face became slimmer due to age, Bette was replaced with Glenn Close. Before Bette, when I was a teenager, it was Annie Lennox. I wish, but I think that the AL thing was about my haircut. I’ve never had her lovely bone structure nor her flawless complexion.
When I looked like (a taller, less curvy) Midler, I dated a guy who was the image of Chevy Chase. We got several autograph requests any time we were out in public.
I also have a maternal aunt who looks enough like Emmylou Harris that people stop her in public to ask for autographs.
I knew a guy named Neil who looked exactly like a 5’4" Neil Young.
lol, yes. He has one at his house though that really captures the facial expression better.
Reminds me a little of Seth Green.
I used to work with a guy who resembles Seth McFarlane.
My dog’s leg was operated on by Peter Sarsgaard and I went to high school with Anna Paquin.
I always thought that Duncan Moore (onetime president of the Optical Society, onetime head of the Institute of Optics, and lots of other things) looked like Groucho Marx. But he appeared at a Halloween party as Father Guido Sarducci, which seemed a better fit. He didn’t wear any makeup.

Speaking of Past Presidents of the Optical Society, Warren J. Smith’s picture on the dust jacket of his Modern Optical Engineering looked like George Reeves as Clark Kent. When one student said so (and word got back to him), he took her copy of his book and autographed it “Clark Kent”
She got back at him, though. She presented him with a Superman costume. I’ve seen a picture of Smith wearing it.
The old Warren Smith still retained some of his Clark Kent looks:
Many years ago, I worked for a company that had a guy that resembled a
well known classic T.V. show character. When he wasn’t around some
of the employees would refer to him by using the character’s name - “Lurch”.
My BIL took the family to Germany to meet the relatives that hadn’t immigrated; showed me pictures when they got back and there’s ol’ cousin Emperor Palpatine sitting on the couch. My family knew who he looked like, they were giggling so hard waiting for me to see that pic. It was so uncanny.
I worked at a bookstore with a guy that was the spitting image of a book cover, we even doctored a cover so it said ‘Nick’ instead of Brian, the character’s actual name.
When I was in high school, I dated Gregory Peck…dumped me for a girl that lived closer to him…sigh
According to me and a lot of other folks, Acid Lamp looks quite a bit like Apolo Anton Ohno. Much to my delight, as I still find myself oohing and ahhing at both of them.
We met a woman right after moving to Portland. She brought over her husband to meet us, and George Costanza walked in the door. I mean a dead ringer, not just a resemblance. Right down to the balding and the glasses, short and stocky. And they were from NYC, also.
Oh, and when we were posted to the embassy in Lisbon, my wife worked with a woman who looked exactly like Demi Moore in her young, sexy days. Now that wasn’t hard to take at all.
I knew this woman who had a very strong resemblance to Sally Field. She even talked a lot like her. And her personality was pretty bubbly, too. She took the whole thing with good humor.
In 1977, I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled. The oral surgeon I went to was John Denver’s missing twin brother. When I went in for the procedure, he asked if I wanted to listen to music through headphones as we got set up. First song that came up was “Rocky Mountain High”.
I hung out a few hours ago with Burt Lahr and our waitress was brunette Heather Morris (Brittany on GLEE). I used to work with Harry Potter’s twin sister (she was a big HP fan & won look-alike contests) & joked with her husband that there had to be a fetish-porn way for them to make big money. She affected a fake-traumatized look when he shared that with her.
