More likely a lack of really ugly famous people. ---

The first photo I uploaded gave me Meryl Streep (61%). Which would be awesome, but she’s about 30 years too old to play me (and always will be). I scanned a second one with both my husband and I and it gave me Shannen Doherty (63%). Better age-wise, but she’ll have to dye her hair blonde. I’m also 57% Owen Wilson, if anyone is interested. My husband, on the other hand, had some bizarre matches. His first match was Nils Gustaf Dalen, and his second Morihei Ueshiba. Um, okay. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > Funny how so many SDMBers are to be played by drop-dead gorgeous actors. Things that make ya go “hmmmmm.” I was thinking the same thing. Even when I posted mine (Pat Benetar)I was thinking “I should have mentioned that I’m not hot, I just have very similar type looks”. Kudos to those that are submitting photos of themselves, as it makes this game more fun. I would / will do it myself as soon as I figure out how! 🙂 And just to dispel the myth that we all look like the beautiful people, I’ve been told **a lot** that I strongly resemble [Rosie Perez](http://www.nndb.com/people/979/000025904/perez3-sized.jpg) whom I find as ugly as she is obnoxious. I assume some people mean it as a compliment, but it makes me weep. ---

Things that make ya go “hmmmmm.” But Kevin Smith and I are about the same size, age, appearance and geekiness. I can’t help it if you think we are gorgeous. Hell my wife doesn’t even think I’m gorgeous. 😉 Jim ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > I have no idea how to link to a larger one–in fact, I have no idea that a larger one exists-such are my computer (lack of) skills/knowledge. I sent that pic to someone on the nursing site I frequent and she scanned it in etc–I have no clue how to make it bigger etc. Ah, didn’t realize you didn’t know it was there! 🙂 The filename was “Liberal1.thumb.jpg”, and the word “thumb” would indicate that it’s a thumbnail file, which is a smaller picture usually used in an index of smaller versions of the pictures, to use as links (for shorter load times). But I tried taking “thumb” out of the filename – just “Liberal1.jpg” – and it’s a larger version of the pic. (I noticed that a long time ago when you posted that to a photo thread). Anyways, if you want to link to it in the future, here’s something you can copy/paste: \*\*[\*\*url=http://www.thenurseslounge.net/albums/Graduation/Liberal\_001.jpg]eleanorigby Paste this text into a post, and it will produce the following link: [eleanorigby](http://www.thenurseslounge.net/albums/Graduation/Liberal_001.jpg) You can change the text “eleanorigby” in the above to whatever you want the link’s underlined text to actually be. ---

Dayum! That’s big! It’s the best pic I ever took, so I’m riding on it for the rest of my natural life. I figure in my UNnatural life, I won’t care what I look like. I may have more pics online soon, if husband ever gets a site for our digital pics from our vaca to London/Paris. Who knows who I look like now? Roseanne or Diane Keaton? Katherine Hepburn or Rosie O’Donnell? Enquiring minds went to watch TV long since… 🙂 ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > the young you is **Topher Grace**! So if we do a flash back to 80’s or early 90’s Topher will play me, then current times will be Kevin Smith. Topher definitely has the Geek thing going. Close enough. I even did a little recreational toking back in the day. Jim ---

You mean _ **whom** _ do you look like ? Well, I don’t think there’s any resemblance but my above correction would probably qualify me as Tony Randall. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lets-cast-sdmb-the-motion-picture-or-who-do-you-look-like/351431.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lets-cast-sdmb-the-motion-picture-or-who-do-you-look-like/351431.md?page=7)
