Turbo, I’m really hoping that you’ll let me use this as my sig for a while.
Well, I see that as nothing to be sorry for. 
Actually, I had a checker in the grocery store look at me the other day and say “you are so adorable! You look just like that actress.” So, it’s not a bad thing-it just happens a lot.
Man, oh man, I don’t want to hear any complaints from you guys about being upset about being mistaken for a celebrity (well, OK, I can understand the David Koresh and Jeffrey Dahmer problems).
I have been told since before the guy was famous that I look like Garth Brooks (and no, not in the Chris Gaines incarnation). We’re both big guys and I used to wear my hair very short like he does and I’ll admit, the resemblance is pretty strong. What makes this so bad? Guess where I went to high school. Yep, Yukon, Oklahoma. They even named the street that runs infront of Wal-Mart and the high school after him. When I lived in Yukon, I had people asking me if I was his younger brother.
What makes it even worse? I hate country music.
Of course, with a big mustache and a shaven head, I don’t get that much anymore.
I am regularly mistaken for Matthew McCona… McConaughe… that guy from Vertical Limit. Mainly by myself. In fact no-one else has ever commented on the resemblance unsolicited, and I often have to spend up to five minutes getting people to see it. But it’s definitely there. Except I have big sensitive blue eyes belying my sensitive artistic nature. Obv.
However people do occasionally accuse me of being SOMEONE well-known, but are unable to put their finger “on it”. I seldom exploit these moments for all they’re worth.
My frinds & I are a great ol’ buncha dopplegangers…

I’ve had people tell me I look like 3 different celebrities, all of them musicians, so I think I might have missed my calling in life. The first one, and the only resemblance I can truly see is Iggy Pop, I’ve also been compared to the drummer from Crowded House, and Lou Reed.
Now if I could just find a bunch of groupies to mistake me for one of those guys, I’d be happy!
You are aware that she died, yes? I would hope no one is confusing your friend for her. “Hey! You look like a corpse.” Just the words every woman wants to hear.
awwwwww. She was the Julia Sawalha of her day.
TV really seems to mees some folks up, huh?

Rob Lowe’s brother is the (IMHO) very talented and underrated actor Chad Lowe, best known for being married to 2000 Oscar winner Hilary Swank and being filmed weeping copiously as she forgot to thank him. Here’s a photo gallery.

I myself have never been mistaken for a celebrity.
Might have been Craig “The Walrus” Stadler.
Can’t say I’ve ever been mistaken for a celebrity, but I did have a weird experience once in Wal-Mart. Some girl (looked to be about 17) came up to me with a pen and paper and very nervously asked me for my autograph. My first thought was that her friends had put her up to it, but the way she was acting, I really think she thought I was somebody.
I, of course, didn’t skip a beat. “Sure,” I said, taking the paper and signing my name. “Stay in school,” I said.

Okay, this IS embarrassing for me and it took a few minutes of self-coaxing but here it goes… A couple of winters ago when I was wearing a beard I had two different people ask me if I was Steven King. Needless to say I quickly shaved my beard. I’m not saying he is an ugly guy but I don’t feel like I want to be “him”. I was also mistaken for Kevin Mitnick although I don’t see how considering how he looked when I saw his interview on some news magazine.
On a related note, my wife is constantly thought to be either Helen Hunt or Bridget Fonda. I wish I saw the resemblance better!

One of the fellows who staffed a cafeteria in college kept remarking how much I looked like Malcolm McDowell, as Alex from “Clockwork Orange” days. I never saw the resemblance, myself. And to be honest, I don’t think he was ever fully…sober (to put it legally).
I’m told I bear a striking resemblance to Country&Western
star Vince Gill.
The exectives at the A.C. Casino where I work gave me looks of consternation when the real Vince Gill arrived to give a
concert.
People Slortar has been compared to:
Cliff Burton
Lee Dorian or Gaz Jennings from Cathedral
Fred Rogers (?!)
Guy Smiley
Anthony Kiedis
Probably more I’m forgetting. I get compared to a lot of people for some reason, as people can’t seem to grasp the idea that I look an awful lot like myself… 
I’ve never been mistaken for a celebrity, but I’ve been compared to:
- Dustin Diamond (“Screech” from Saved by the Bell)
- Neil Patrick Harris (TV’s “Doogie Howser”)
- Ben Savage (“Cory” from Boy Meets World)
- NASCAR driver Tony Stewart
- Someone from the group N*Sync (Justin, I think is his name)
- Some guy on the show Sports Night (Never seen the show myself, so I don’t know who he is.)
