According to Anastaseon’s site, I get Johann Cruyff, Rocky Marciano, Kofi Annan, and Viggo Mortensen. I guess that sort of leaves me with Viggo as he’s the only person within 20 years of my age. ---

I never saw the resemblance between Bob Denver and myself, but some people at college called me [Gilligan](http://grumpygamer.com/images/gilligan.jpg), while an usher at Cleveland Stadium during my time as a vendor there referred to me as “Beatnik” because my facial hair reminded him of the goatee sported by [Maynard G. Krebs.](http://www.dslretorts.com/Paladin/images/MaynardGKrebs.jpg) More recently, I’ve been told I look like [Chef Paul Prudhomme,](http://g.notmc.com/g/oct01/s.chefprudhomme.jpg), even though the only real similarities I see between him and me are the beard and girth. Prudhomme looks uncannily like [Dom DeLuise,](http://www.eatzucchini.com/images_gallery/img14_big.jpg) but that comic is older than my father. Hmmm, Dom’s son [Peter](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://rdanderson.com/stargate/scenes/deluise1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://rdanderson.com/stargate/scenes/deluise.htm&h=480&w=640&sz=60&tbnid=_pHLWsaDD43_xM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=135&hl=en&start=2&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPeter%2BDeLuise%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26c2coff%3D1%26sa%3DG) is only seven years younger than I am, and could look like me with the right makeup. However, my hairline (although I’m not a redhead) is more reminiscent of [Ron Howard’s.](http://images.usatoday.com/life/_photos/2005/07/28/inside-ron-howard.jpg) If a snapshot of me is ever posted on the web, I’ll link to the picture so you can see how accurate these assessments are. I don’t know if I have an “exact double”, but there is a guy in New York who comes closer to fitting that description than anyone else I’ve seen. I only know of him, however, because he was in a church congregation filmed as part of a History Channel documentary on Christmas traditions that I happened to see last December. If he’s an actor, and he shows up for the audition, he’s got the part of **Sternvogel**! ---

I look pretty close to a combination between these [two](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004755/) [guys](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000625/). ---

Well, I’ve compared a few times to the kid on the cover to [Baby Geniuses](http://www.dvdvcdplaza.com/cdimages/eng_baby_geniuses.jpg). Apparently the movie and it’s two sequels are all on the IMDB top 100 worst movies of all time-list. Does not hinder facial similarities. My ears are straighter, however. Now don’t you dare make any comparisons to Jonathan Lipnicki! Hate that kid.
