When _The Hi-Lo Country_ came out, people often compared me to [Billy Crudup](http://www.geocities.com/bc_2001us/bcruprincessmononoke9901psm.jpg), except I’m a head taller and (according to them) much better looking. Still, he’s a phenomenal actor, and most adept at complex, interesting, difficult roles. 😉 So for the part of The Cid: Billy Crudup. On stilts. ---

Aww, I wanted to be Jim Carrey. I don’t know any actors that really look much like me off the top of my head. But Nicholas Brendan could play me, I suspect. ---

To paraphrase Zero Mostel: “Also on this Board lives **silenus**. **Silenus** is probably my favorite character in the piece. A role of enormous variety and nuance, and played by an actor of such versatility, such magnificent range, such…let me put it this way…\*\*I \*\* play the part.” 😃 ---

Total strangers on planes have said I look like Rick Moranis. Did you know the windows on those things don’t open? ☹ I see myself more like William Shatner early in the season of ST:TOS - pre-stomach. Except I have more hair. ---

I have _no_ idea. I don’t know anyone famous who looks like me (although one woman was absolutely convinced I was an _overweight_ Sarah Michelle Gellar - I do NOT see it (overweight, yes, SMG, no) - and of all people, friends have likened me more to Alyson Hannigan, but I think it’s the quirkiness…) Maybe that’s who: **Alyson Hannigan**. ---

**«Ðëëp¤F®ïêd»™** - starring Viggo Mortenson. Actually I have been likened to a combination of Charles Manson and James Hetfield of Metallica. I suppose if they had a son that was an actor he could star as me. And get this… Billy Ray Cyrus!!! thems fightin’ words, hoss! I mean, come on, the “achy breaky” guy? sheesh… ---

> [@Homebrew](#): > > I had a guy tell me I looked like Newman once. While I was in a bar. I was devastated. But I get told I look like Stephen Root often. In fact, my ex-brother-in-law used to call me Jimmy James It’s actually more like Star-Trek-Mirror-Universe Newman with the goatee beard. But still Newman. And can I just note that every time _Newsradio_ is on and I don’t realize it, but I hear someone talking about Jimmy James, I have this sudden WTF moment when I wonder how a [drag queen](http://www.jimmyjames.com/) with a cabaret act got a network sitcom… ---

Could be worse. I’ve been told I look like Ralph Macchio and Richard Marx. That’s why I grew the beard when I could. For me, I’d prefer Pierce Brosnan (with no accent), but the budget will be gone by the time my part is cast, so I’ll get stuck with some guy who knows a friend of the producer in a walk-on. ☹ ---

Ah, I know the problem. Nobody here knows what I look like! Well, I finally have a PhotoBucket album, so next time we do a picture thread, I’m set. [This is me.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/MarleyS/Guitar/PJ2132.jpg) (I was told the photo looks like a Clapton album cover, but I don’t think it’s because I look like Clapton) [This is also me, just the other night.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/MarleyS/Me/Marley_Dan.jpg) In another one of those photos, I’m dressed up as Groucho Marx, so maybe that’s the answer. ---

Nicholas Cage could play me. I don’t resemble him, but that look he has in\* Raising Arizona\* when the grocrey store man blasts at him with a shotgun, that’s me.
