During my teens I was told many, many times that I looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger; in fact, I even once convinced a guy I knew that he was my cousin. (We were watching **The Running Man** at the time.) I’m now rather more overweight and bearded than back then, so doubt the resemblance still holds. –Cliffy ---

I have been told that I look like Angelina Jolie. I, personally, don’t see it, but hey, if someone wants to compare me to her then they can be my guest. I don’t mind. ---

I look like a cross between Matthew Perry and Oliver Platt. I tried uploading my pic to the SDMB People Page but it looks like the page isn’t being maintained anymore. **Shera:** How you doin’? ---

For me, in my early 20’s, (pre-beard), I looked like a young George Harrison. \*\* Double huh. In my 20’s, without a beard, I looked like John Lennon. Maybe we should get together with **ringo** and start up a rock band? ---

I’ve subsequently shaved, lost 100 pounds and started wearing glasses instead of contacts, so I don’t look much like him anymore, but there is a slight resemblance. ---

When I’ve got a beard, as I do now, I’ve been told that I could be Richard Karn (Al from Home Improvement). Sigh. Always the sceond banana. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by techchick68 \* > \*\*So it’s up to you all, who do I really look like? \*\* Well, the People Pages picture makes you look kinda like [the woman who played Kat on Lois and Clark,](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Scoggins,+Tracy) but the other picture looks to me like [the woman who played Kathryn Janeway.](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Mulgrew,+Kate) ---

Kind of like **Mike McShane** of _Who’s Line is it Anyway?_ fame: [http://any-app.tripod.com/mm/](http://any-app.tripod.com/mm/) Just add a full beard, take off the glasses, and add shoulder length hair. ---

All the girls at my school say I look exactly like [Rachel Leigh Cook](http://mmmgraphics.fanforum.com/other/wpwomen/rachel_leigh_cook01-a.jpg). ---

All through high school, college and even several years after college, I was told I was a dead ringer for Justine Bateman. People would walk across rooms to tell me that, but I never really saw the similarities until I just started watching “Family Ties” re-runs on Nick At Nite. Now I can see the resemblance, but she’s WAY shorter than me, by about 7 or 8 inches! Needless to say, my nickname for a long time was Mallory, there was even one group of people I hung out with who thought that was my real name and that I was the girl from the show. That’s what drugs will do to you… ---

I think (and have been told many times) that I look like a young Bruce Springsteen. Right now my hair is pony-tail length, so it’s not quite as obvious, but when it’s a bit shorter and kind of unruly I’m a dead ringer (the fact that I often wear jeans that fit and white t-shirts helps too). ---

I think it’s the chin. I’m not too familiar with Tatum O’Neal, so I couldn’t really say. ---

When I was young, babyfaced and had a full head of curly brown hair, I was sometimes told I resembled Chris Makepeace of _Meatballs_ and _My Bodyguard_ fame. As for now, well, a couple of years ago TV Guide had actor Jerry Doyle, from _Babylon 5_ on its cover. One of the secretaries at my workplace tore off the cover, stuck a Post-It note on it with the words “It’s you!” and gave it to me. The cover is still on the wall of my cube and many people who see it claim to be amazed by the resemblance. I’ve never watched _Babylon 5,_ so [judge for yourselves](http://www.mindspring.com/~glenn5/images/pages.jpg). ---

The closest I ever got to looking like a celebrity was when the employees of Super Subs & Pizza on Mace Ave. told me that I look like Jane, that girl who used to work there. You can click on the web link at the bottom of my post to see me; who do you guys think I look like? Or am I truly one of a kind? ---
