[See the Roman Centurion? (“Obsession” by Animotion video)](http://www.animotionlive.com/video/obsession.html) (Give it about 10 seconds, the guy in the grey suit) For years after that video came out, people said I looked like that guy. I’d say somewhat. I used to have his hair, in the eighties. Yes, I was new wave\* versus heavy metal or punk (although I liked punk music and some metal also). My hair is shorter now. My forehead has expanded slightly around the sides. I’m not _that_ skinny. His nose is different. I know, “celebrity” in this case might be a stretch. I liked that song though. Other people say I look like [Huey Lewis](http://www.hln.org/) (but not the News). Aaah… I used to have Ray Bans like his. I have several jackets like his (Farging useless around here. Formal should be shorts and a golf shirt. I digress). Maybe from a distance. His chin cleft is similar to mine. If Huey and the Animotion guy had a love child… :eek: 🆒 \*IMO, laid the foundation for techno and lots of other things. Keep Feeling Fascination!😉 ---

People used to tell me I looked like Meryl Streep. Could be worse I guess. ---

I’ve been told Anthony Michael Hall somewhere between _16 Candles_ and _Johnny Be Good_. I think they’re lying. ---

Well, recently I was told that I look like John Candy - and I was crushed. But no one who knows me thinks this… ---

So many people have told me I look like **Christina Ricci** that it must be at least a little bit true. But I must be starting to show my age. After a decade of being called “Wednesday”, someone told me recently that I look like “Kat” (Christina’s character from _Casper_). 10 years as an 11-year-old, and now I look like I’m 15. 🙂 Not that I’m complaining. (I’m 27, BTW.) Personally, I think I look a lot like **Janeane Garofalo** (especially when we both have that Too-Much-Eyeliner look). ---

Keifer (Kiefer?) Sutherland. And some hockey player that used to be a goalie for one of the New York City hockey teams sometime around 1996, who looked like Kiefer (Keifer?) Sutherland. ---

I’ve been told I look like Drew Berrymore. I got that from a few friends after Scream came out although I think her look in Never Been Kissed suites me a bit more. A little old lady once told me I looked like “that one Dixie Chick. the short one.” one day while I was looking around in Claire’s. That one I still don’t understand. I’m not short, I’m a lot bigger than Natalie Maines and I don’t have a big mouth. ---

Rachael Leigh Cook. I get it almost weekly. Actually–I get “Hey, you look like that girl from She’s All That.” It annoys me because I really, really hate that movie. 🙂 ---

I tend to think I look like [Joan Jett](http://www.therunaways.net/images/joan.gif), but hubby says I’m more of an [Audrey Hepburn](http://images.art.com/images/PRODUCTS/large/10056000/10056615.jpg). He’s such a sweet man! Definitely more Joan than Audrey though, as my nose is bigger and my hair is much uglier. ---

Jack Nicholson. Especially as he appeared in _Five Easy Pieces_. (1970) Except, I’ve aged a hell of a lot better than he has. 😉 ---

Okay, so I kind of answered this already in the “Who’d play you in the movie” thread, but I’m answering again with [Gabrielle Union](http://www.gabrielleunion.net/chrome/photos.html). Wouldn’t say we _look alike_ look alike, but it’s good enough. Plus **Davebear** says there’s a close resemblance, so it must be true! ---

When I’m at my ideal weight, people frequently tell me I look like Craig T. Nelson. When I’m a bit over, I look frighteningly like Bill Murray. I once had a young boy approach me in a public place and say with absolute sincerity, “Hey, you’re that guy from GHOSTBUSTERS! Can have your autograph?” ---

I got Molly Ringwald a lot when I was in high school because I had short red hair… Lately I’ve gotten Alissa Milano (rolls eyes), Isabella Rosalinni, Isabelle Adjani, Liv Tyler…must be the dark hair and pale skin. I don’t really see it. ---

Sort of like [Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands](http://coco.raceme.org/films/edwardscissorhands/images/edward.jpg), but with blond hair, blue eyes, slightly larger lips, and fuller cheeks. I’ve also been told that I look like [Billy Corgan](http://www.undercover.com.au/billycorgan2.jpg) of the Smashing Pumpkins, but with hair. I don’t see the resemblance.
