My memory is that it was from a William Gibson novel. I’m pretty sure it was Idoru, but I can’t check right now.
I think it was from another book in that series - “Virtual Light”
I remember a website where you gave them a picture to analyze and it would say which celebrity you most resembled. My best match was Dennis Quaid, though Eleanor Roosevelt and Audrey Hepburn weren’t far behind.
Hard to imagine a more diverse set of “lookalikes”
Comedian and regular on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, Colin Mochrie.
In fact, in the past year, I have, twice, been stopped by people who were certain that I was him. 
I actually think it’s a great idea. I know I constantly, almost involuntarily, try to figure out who people remind me of. It’s like I see a face and I automatically try to match it to another face. Don’t most people do this to some extent?
I’ve gotten “Omigod, you totally look like Stephen King!” ever since I was a teen.
A past-his-prime Bruce Willis.
People have said I look like Richard Dreyfuss, Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart, and Woody Harrelson - you tell me: http://www.nouilles.info/sdpix/14540.html
It’s hard to say, not having met you in person. I don’t see a resemblance to any of those, except perhaps the hair. The impression I formed in the first split second when I opened the link is, and don’t get mad because it *is *just a photo so I can’t really tell, but a younger Gavin McLeod, like in his Captain Stubing days. You also kind of remind me of my brother but he hasn’t been in anything you would have seen ![]()
The only person I apparently resemble is Larry Bird, who I’ve been told I look like on two occasions.
Both times by African American men.
Leading to my brother-in-law’s line, “Oh, so they can’t tell us apart either!”
[FTR, I don’t think I look at all like Larry Bird. So it goes.]
Here’s an excerpt from “Virtual Light” which mentions the “Celebrity ID” system Virtual Light - William Gibson - Google Books
When I was younger, and had much more hair, I got “Larry Bird” a few times, too. Despite being a foot shorter than him. ![]()
I’ve been told I look like Tom Hanks, Weird Al Yankovich, and Mr. Noodle. I can sort of see the first two, but on the third, all I can conclude is that those kids have never in their lives seen any other man with a moustache.
I thought a stronger-faced Larry David.
If Jonathan Frakes fucked Kevin Smith, then 49 years later the baby would look like me.
So…Bruce Willis. ![]()
Depending on how I’m dressed, Troy Aikman or Ron White. Thanks a lot!
At least my wife thinks I resemble Indiana Jones. Not Harrison Ford. Indy.
In my pre-beard days I got a couple of Tom Cruise comments; we are about the same age, so that would mean that they were comparing baby faced me to baby faced Tom. I suppose if he grew a beard he would look like me.
I can’t recognize faces, so I don’t see it.
