When I was young, I got, “He looks like a young Donald Sutherland.” “More like a young Donald Duck!” So, I’ve got that going for me. ---

> [@Andy\_L](#): > > I think it was from another book in that series - “Virtual Light” I’m kind of disappointed that you beat me to the book ID. In the US I don’t think anyone has ever told me that I looked like a celebrity. When I was living in Japan I was most often told that I resembled Drew Barrymore and once Uma Thurman, but I think this is just a case of all white women looking alike. ---

A couple of different people have told me I look like Matt Damon, not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. ---

Oh geez, the celebrities I’ve been told I look like run the gamut, from Pauly Shore, all the way to Vin Diesel (ftr, _i_ don’t think I resemble either). ---

Marc Maron. His looks are kinda distinctive, I think I look innocuous. ---

There was a time when I kind of looked like Fisher Stevens. This is no longer true, for him or me, and now I don’t think I resemble any celebrities. Which is one reason why I also am not a celebrity, because they didn’t get where they are today by looking like me. At a stretch, maybe a cross between Fred Armisen and David Cross, but beardy and without glasses (anymore). ---

I impersonated Dr. Demento at a convention he was attending. The convention staff repeatedly confused the two of us, and had me stand in for him at one point. ---

Most people say I look like Dan Aykroyd, and occasionally Jack Nicholson. I do frequently wear cheap knockoff RayBans. ---

Well speaking of Pee Wee…this summer I was compared to a cross between Pee Wee Herman and Dolph Lundgren. ---

Thankfully I resemble him in no other way, either physically or in disposition, but I just noticed yesterday that I wear the same glasses as [the infamous Subway Rapist](https://flic.kr/p/BqrRiR). ---

I have been compared to both Louis C.K. and Kyle MacLachlan (the latter, esp. when I was younger), but think I look only a little like either.

In my younger days when I had a mustache I was told I looked like Avery Schreiber. After I grew my beard it was Jerry Garcia. Then I lost my hair and I just look like me. ---
