I have been mistaken for Dr. Demento repeatedly at conventions. Granted, I was wearing a tuxedo and top hat at the time. ---

Johnny Depp (when I had a beard), Jack Black (when I didnā€™t). Itā€™s important to note that these comparisons were made by drunk people. ---

No one has ever likened me to a celeb. I have a friend, tho, whoā€™s a dead ringer for Liam Neeson! ---

Best: Ed Helms Worst: Fred Gwynne Iā€™ve gotten Ed Helms quite a bit recently, but thatā€™s probably just because these kids today donā€™t know Fred Gwynne. Random strangers will tell my fiancee she looks like Jennifer Garner. ---

I was repeatedly told I looked like Paul McCartney when I was younger. I havenā€™t been told that since I hit the big 4-0. I suppose either Paul or I have not aged well. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Iā€™ve been told many times that I was a dead ringer for baseball player Keith Hernandez. Not sure how much of a celebrity he counts as, since he hasnā€™t played in years, though he was on Seinfeld a few times. ---

Best: Omar Shariff (when we were both much younger). Worst: Dennis Franz (with a little more hair on top, plus a goatee). ---

I look like [this](http://i.imgur.com/6jAqCW1.jpg) and [this](http://i.imgur.com/MRtLlSr.jpg)ā€¦ My ex thought Ethan Hawke. Coworker says a younger Tim Robbins. ---

An artist I modeled for as a young teen said I looked like a Titian painting. More recently, lots of people (I work at a public service desk) have told me I look like the Ruby Sparks actress Zoe Kazan. The first was flattering. The second I actually somewhat can see the resemblance. ---

I have heard Liev Schreiber and Mark Wahlberg both from my wife, and Michael J. Fox from her mother. My retort when I hear ā€œYou look just likeā€¦ā€ is invariably ā€œNo, he looks like ME.ā€ ---

Not so much now, but when I was in high school, I looked a bit like Alan Ruck (Cameron from Ferris Buellerā€™s Day Off.) Looking at some pictures of him now, though, there is no resemblance. Heā€™s aged a bit better. šŸ™‚ ---

I have been told [Elaine Irwin](http://cdn-0.motorsport.com/static/img/mgl/0/20000/28000/28400/28490/s1_1.jpg) and [Sienna Miller](http://www.moviepilot.de/people/sienna-miller/images)- but I donā€™t see the resemblance at all (these ladies are both gorgeous and while flatteringā€¦COME ON) and I suspect these people were hammered or perhaps have very compromised eyesight. I am also older now, so no one recently. ---
