While I used to get compared to the late Stephen Gateley (from Westlife or Boyzone) in my twenties/early thirties, a friend who I hadn’t seen for years told me recently that I resembled Julian Assange, of Wikileaks notoriety. And when I see his face on TV I get the uneasy feeling of looking in the mirror, or of looking at a relation. Creepy. ---

When I was in my 20s, a couple of people said I somewhat resembled Jack Cassidy (but younger, of course) . [http://imgc.allpostersimages.com/images/P-473-488-90/59/5931/CB4RG00Z/posters/jack-cassidy.jpg](http://imgc.allpostersimages.com/images/P-473-488-90/59/5931/CB4RG00Z/posters/jack-cassidy.jpg) Personally I thought the resemblence wasn’t all that close. ---

I used to get both Robin Williams and Bill Murray a lot. I’ve had strangers come up to me at random and say “Robin Williams!” Lost some weight which slimmed my face down so I haven’t heard it in a while but I can still see the resemblance, especially to Bill Murray. Just noticed that one of my cousins is a dead ringer for Sarah Silverman. ---

On hundreds of occasions, I’ve been told I look like Brittany Murphy. I’ve been stopped on the bus and in restaurants (when I lived in Chicago) to tell me so. One woman sat by me on the bus and said “I feel like I am sitting next to Brittany!”. It’s creepy. Since she has died, I don’t get that so much anymore. Two other people I get a lot are Mira Sorvino and Clare from Modern Family. Obviously, those women are much thinner and more attractive, I think it’s the eyes. ---

I was once told that I look like Jesus from South Park. I’ve also heard Kid Rock. 40+ year olds from Chicago may remember a man named Gary Dotson. Not much of a celebrity, but I’ve been told that I resemble him. ---

Back in college I took a Renewable Natural Resources class and when we got to the chapter about Teddy Roosevelt many of my classmates noticed that I’m practically a splitting image him…Cool! ---

Bob Dylan, at least once. Probably twice. Kevin Rowland (Dexy’s Midnight Runners) once. Rowan Atkinson (actually, she said Mr. Bean) once. Tom Cruise, never, exactly, but he was proposed as the one to play me in the movie. ---

When I wore my hair up for my daughters wedding, I was compared to Sarah Palin. I don’t like that much. The only other one was Adrienne Barbeau way back in the 80’s. I should google her, haven’t seen her in awhile. ---

> [@not\_what\_you\_d\_expect](#): > > When I wore my hair up for my daughters wedding, I was compared to Sarah Palin. I don’t like that much. Still a compliment, Palin is a looker. Now, if someone had said “You’re smart like Sarah Palin” or “You have great ideas like Sarah Palin,” then I can understand getting upset. ---

I’m a slim middle-aged guy with wire-rimmed glasses, goatee, and shaved head. I have a wrinkled brow and crow’s feet. You know where this is going, right? Especially last year when the show was coming to an end and everyone was talking about it, I got “Walter White!” about once a week. My beard is darker that [Walt’s](http://goodwillwatching.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/474488.jpg), and he has a few years on me, but otherwise the resemblance is not bad. I’ve never actually seen the show. ---
