I heard Christina Ricci from damn near every single person, total strangers included, back when Casper came out when I was 12 years old. This continued until around 14-15 years old. There are still people in my life who haven’t gotten over it and will obnoxiously call me Wednesday (there is absolutely no resemblance between us now, if there ever was) from time to time. ---

A long time back, I also got Enrique(singer) a couple of times. But I am an average looking person, not a particularly good looking one. ---

In High School I got Elvis Costello or sometimes John Cazale from Dog Day Afternoon. More recently I’ve been told I closely resemble Ira Glass. ---

I’ve been told fairly frequently that I look like Ernest Hemingway. Not just the beard, or my virile robustness (chunkiness actually), and not drinking or being abusive - apparently I actually do look facially like Ernest. This changes yearly around Dec 1st, when suddenly I’m Santa’s doppelganger. ---

Melissa Gilbert. And although this is not a celeb, the gal on the cover looks like me a bit (her face, anyway): [http://www.amazon.com/Larissa-Emily-Devenport/dp/0451452763/ref=sr\_1\_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1375337879&sr=1-1&keywords=larissa++++emily](http://www.amazon.com/Larissa-Emily-Devenport/dp/0451452763/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1375337879&sr=1-1&keywords=larissa++++emily) ---

David Bromberg. And Richard Dryfus or was it Richard Benjamin? She wasn’t quite clear who was who, but I looked like one of them. I think it was probably Dryfus. ---

I’ve had people tell me Boo (of Monsters Inc) instantly reminded them of me, but I was in my early 30s! It was meant as a compliment so I took it as one. ---

From an [older thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=389440&highlight=paul+prudhomme&page=2) that may interest **KaylaLynn** and other recent arrivals to this board, I present [my contribution](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7806875&postcount=63). In case the links don’t work, here is the gist: > [@](#): > > I was called “Gilligan” at college by some people who thought I resembled Bob Denver as the clean-shaven first mate of the S.S. Minnow. A few years later, I had a beard, and a co-worker started calling me “Beatnik” because I reminded him of another Denver character, Maynard G. Krebs. > > More recently, however, my girth and added facial hair have led me to be declared the spittin’ image of chef Paul Prudhomme. I’d provide a picture of myself, but the only known online photo in which I appear is in the “pay to access” archives of the local paper… ---

I’ve only ever gotten Julianna Marguiles. We both have dark hair and fair skin. That’s about it. Mostly people think they know me. One of my friends, though, is a dead ringer for Al from Toy Story 2. 🙂 ---

When I was in junior high school (yeah, way back before all this “middle school” nonsense), there was one guy on the school bus who always called me “Lou” because he thought I looked like Lou Ferrigno. My face, not my physique. ---

In my 30s and 40s, it was Christopher Reeve and Dean Cain (when I wore glasses). Now, it’s that actor that Clint Eastwood shoots in the opening scenes of his movies. ---
