I’ve never figured out [who I look like.](http://www.geocities.com/bigbadvoodoolou) Attitude-wise, I could maybe see a bald, bearded Zach Braff or John Krasinski, or just about any male actor from any Joss Whedon show (I exhibit traits of most of the characters), but nobody has ever said I look like anyone famous. ---

[Emile Hirsch](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0386472/) shall play **middleman**. I’m about ten years older and about 15-20 lbs heavier, but that guy looks JUST like I did when I was 20 (he’s in better shape, but I was thin back then…) When I watched him in The Girl Next Door, it was distracting how much he looked like me. My wife, if she appears in this film, is a near Doppleganger of [Anne Hathaway](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004266/) of the Princess Diary. ---

Kevin Smith could play me. He’s a little tall but close enough. [This shot in particular looks close to me in the winter when I wear my Beard](http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Music/9901/26/alanis/link.kevin.smith.jpg). Jim ---

Only Bruce Willis can be **Mr Bus Guy**. The physical resemblance is fleeting, yet still there. (squint) But only Bruce can capture the combination of sublte humor, and rough and toughness that exists in the belly of my soul. (squint more, and again) Plus, lately we have the same hairline. ---

That’s flattering, but they’re both way too pretty. When I saw Liberty Heights, I thought David Krumholtz looked a little like me.

Maybe Scott Lowell of Queer as Folk. [http://imdb.com/name/nm0523116/](http://imdb.com/name/nm0523116/) . Though he’s 10 years older then me, I think he could pull it off. 😉 ---

I’ve several times been compared to [Steve Buscemi](http://24ur.com/media/images/large/Mar2004/2040136.jpg). At seventeen years of age, I wasn’t sure whether to laugh, growl or take off and nuke the club from orbit. (Though it _would_ be the only way to be sure) Now that I’ve matured a bit (at eighteen) I’ve recently been favourably compared with [Guy Pearce](http://images.contactmusic.com/images/reviews/memento.jpg) à la **Memento**. Hooray! ---

Once upon a time, I would have picked Alyson Hannigan, but I don’t feel I look anything like her anymore. People used to say it all the time, but the more I look at the differences between us now, the gap has widened: I got fatter, our faces both matured in seperate directions, etc. I need a new look-a-like. So, today, I would choose… hmmm… using [this interesting site](http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/face_recognition.php) (which isn’t terribly accurate) to scan my several of my recent pictures… the highest hits I get back are: #1 Marcia Cross (?! - must be the red hair and pale skin? _Jeeeeze_!) #2. Calista Flockhart - (I’m thinner. No wait, that’s backwards. _She’s_ thinner.) #3. Tyra Banks - (…) I always _did_ tell my husband I was a Victoria’s Secret model while he was at work. He’d be thrilled to see my co-worker, Tyra Banks, play me on the big screen. 😃 ---

Apparently, [Sara Rue](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0749081/) no longer looks like me, so we’ll go with [Janeane Garofalo](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000413/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9amFuZWFuZSBnYXJvZmFsb3xmdD0xfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxjbz0xfGh0bWw9MXxubT0x;fc=1;ft=9;fm=1) with her hair dyed red (and maybe an extra pound or fifty).
