\*Every Single Time \* I see this photo, it’s like WTF is Mike Rowe doing in uniform and why is he on trial? [https://images.app.goo.gl/FskPEYv9SnpymdRRA](https://images.app.goo.gl/FskPEYv9SnpymdRRA) Mike Rowe. It’s like he has a twin. [https://images.app.goo.gl/u6awQKUMVo5yC3W36](https://images.app.goo.gl/u6awQKUMVo5yC3W36) They use that photo in nearly every news article about Gallagher’s trial. ---

Brothers at least, yep. Maybe someone’s grandfather traveled a lot? I had a couple of coworkers, one from the UK (east coast of England ancestry as far as he knew), one from southern Sweden. We remarked on how similar they looked. Then at one point someone said something to which both of them reacted with the same exact, complicated gesture: frown, hands interlocked behind head, tilt chair back. There was a general exclamation of “they’re TWINS!” The similarity became one of the project’s in-jokes. ---

There’s a guy on YouTube with the channel “[Human](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXBtIJBzUZtgaBdVkcCOMnw)”. His videos are mainly about his tree felling job but he also covers other tool/job/vehicle stuff. He reminds me of Rowe. Not so much in the face (esp. since he has grown that stupid neck beard), but in terms of style of talking and doing [fun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBTw1sq4-TQ) guy stuff with tools. NSFW caution: drops the occasional F-bomb in some videos. Got a GoPro? You too can be the next online Mike Rowe. ---

Twin? No. Older brother, maybe. But it seems to be mostly due to the long, square face and the big features. I’ll bet if the military guy has a a big smile that shows a lot of [big] teeth. Yeah, they have a similar facial structure, at least as portrayed in the picture(s) you presented. You could toss Ron Perlman in as their dad.
