I was watching the movie Criminal last night. I was shocked by an actresses’ appearance in the film. Turns out I am dating Maggie Gyllenhaal’s double. Anyone else have this sort of thing happen? It was creepy “in a good way”.

Dude, you need to watch the movie Secretary. Preferably with your girlfriend.
One of my close friends looks an awful lot like Miguel Ferrer.
And somewhat similar, but not quite:
I kept seeing this guy on the train and could not, for the life of me, figure out why he looked so familiar. Every time I saw him, it bugged me. Until one day, he sat down, under an advertisement for AMC. There, over his head, was an ad showing a guy looking for a girl to watch “Working Girl” with. And I am 99% certain that the guy sitting under the ad was the guy FROM the ad. Was a little bizarre.
And there is also a guy who rides my train who looks so much like a cast member of Guiding Light that I’m not entirely convinced that he isn’t.
You are like the 1200th person to say that. Everyone I work with has een the movie and they all agree my gf is a dead ringer. Netflix will have it to me in a few days. 
(That was to Lou.)
A few years ago I took a Bar Review class which was taught by various law professors but administered by a handful of law students (who thereby got to take the class for free, I guess). Anyway, on of them looked almost exactly like a brunette Reese Witherspoon.

I once dated a girl who looks like a 75/25 mix of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jennifer Connoly.
My first serious girlfriend (the infamous Stacey) was DEAD RINGER for a young Bernadette Peters.
:Drool:
Be careful, there. It may not be her kind of thing. Or, worse yet, it might be. :eek:
Just sayin’, thas all.
I keep seeing this guy who looks like the lead character on The Pretender at the gas station. It took me a couple of times to realize it is actually The Pretender dude. (I still can’t remember his name.) I guess he doesn’t get much work these days.
Robert Forster (Medium Cool, Jackie Brown) looks like every high school principal I’ve ever seen.
At the time The Doors came out (when I had longer hair and was somewhat thinner that I am now) I was repeatedly accused of looking like Jim Morrison and/or Val Kilmer. I don’t see it, myself, but there you go.

Hit the jackpot with that one, didn’t you?
Some guy who looks like Liam Neeson takes the same tram as me each morning. I keep trying to come up with a Star Wars fanfilm idea I can put him in.
Oh yeah, and another guy, who gets on my tram sometimes, looks like Rowan Atkinson in full Mr Bean rubber-faced grotesquerie.
I used to have a counselor who looked remarkably like a thirty-something Bernadette Peters.
That’s Michael T Weiss. Now if you’ll just send me the address of this gas station I will gladly go there and verify this sighting…
ahem
I used to go to school with a guy who was a dead ringer for Freddy Prinze Jr and, he’s not an actor but a guy I keep seeing around campus looks an awful lot like a blonder Bono (of U2).
Another train double: I ride the train with a guy who is a ringer for Andy Dick.
Anyone know ‘The Chuckle Brothers’?
No? It was bad kids tv from when I was still a kid (just). I think it’s still going. Anyway my geography was the spit of the smaller one.
I think there’s a word missing from this sentence. I hope it’s “teacher”.
:smack:
You’re right. I’m doing that a lot lately. It’s ‘teacher’.
That reminsd me. Back when I worked in a mail room, one of the women I delivered mail to had a son who’s a dead ringer for Howard Stern. Until the young man got a haircut.
There’s an old family friend who looks so much like Tony Geary (Luke from General Hospital) that on a trip to Las Vegas in the early 1980s, he was mobbed by screaming fans.
I’m often told I look like Joyce DeWitt, from Three’s Company. My husband looks a LOT like Tim Robbins. And our daughter is often told she bears a striking resemblence to Drew Barrymore. Celebrity lookalike-ism runs in the family - my Mom looks like a cross between Stockard Channing and Bette Midler.
