People used to tell me I looked like a brunette Molly Ringwald.
I’ve gotten Malcolm McDowell, from A Clockwork Orange, and James Spader, from sex, lies, and videotape.
I’ve been told several times I look like Meatloaf, especially when I had long hair. It’s been short for several years now, and the comparisons slowed down until Meatloaf cut his hair too. 
A guy who was flirting with me and thought he was complimenting me told me I looked like Sarah Jessica Parker. When I made a face and asked him why, he said we had the same chin. :mad: I do not.
Several years ago my Mom thought I looked like Annabeth Gish, which is better.
Annabeth Gish is sexy!

Back in the heyday of Roseanne, I was occasionally told that I looked like a young John Goodman, which didn’t bother me much.
More recently, however, I had someone say I reminded her of Wayne Knight (who has apparently lost a lot of weight). She meant it as a compliment, as she thought Knight was a hottie. :dubious:
When I was a teenager, some girl at school told me I looked like Loretta Lynn. I don’t look like Loretta in the least, so I puzzled over that one quite a while until I realized the girl may have meant Sissy Spacek, who played Loretta in Coal Miner’s Daughter.
And dammit, I was a goofy-looking little waif…
I get Jack Black a lot. Never a good thing under any circumstance.
Unflattering? Velma from Scooby Doo.*
Better than Velma? Lisa Loeb. I don’t really care for her one way or the other, but dammit, at least she’s not Velma!
- It doesn’t help that I hate that damn cartoon.
When I was younger, I was often compared to the fat kid from Stand By Me or Piggy from Lord of the Flies.
Once I hit high school, and got a job, the first thing I bought with my first paycheck was a new pair of glasses… since, the plastic black ones made for effective birth control.
Now, especially when I’m unshaven, I get comparisons to Seth Rogen. This I don’t mind much, since like NAF, it’s been the start of some pretty good conversations with the opposite sex.
Really? I think Jack Black is quite attractive, especially in “The Holiday,” and he’s hilarious, which goes a long way for me!
Someone once compared me to the awkward weirdo catholic schoolgirl character(I’m drawing a complete blank on the character and the performer’s names) from SNL skits.
Also, Daria. A LOT. But I LIKED her(and totally agreed with the comparisons, even when they were meant to be insulting.)
A girl at a party I was at while in college said I reminded her of Jack Black. I was a bit indignant, but it sure seemed like she meant it in a good way.
In High School I was told I looked like Noah Taylor, I guess I still do a bit.
Oddly, I don’t think Jack Black or Noah Taylor look much alike.
Back in the day I used to get told I looked like Kate Jackson from when she was in Scarecrow & Mrs. King.
Yah, I wasn’t impressed. If I was going to choose and Angel to look like, it wouldn’t have been her.
When I was a little kid (6-10 or so), I was told I looked like Horshack. Even then I knew that wasn’t such a good thing.
But I grew out of it … and into Peter Brady :rolleyes:
But that too passed. My hair grew out, a goatee grew in, and for years and years and years I couldn’t get on a subway or walk down the street without someone telling me I looked like Jesus. 
I was once told by a clerk that I closely resemble Alfred Hitchcock. I turned to my right, harumphed, and slowly walked away.
Here’s another Jack Black doppelgänger.
I work in middle schools all week so anytime another shitty movie is released it’s all I hear about!
In high school, a “friend” told me that I looked like a combination of Conan O’Brien and a Cabbage Patch Kid.
I’ve been told a couple of times that I look like Adam Savage from Mythbusters.
Because I’m male and have dark, curly hair, while in high school, I was compared to either Russell Hitchcock from Air Supply or Richard Simmons.
