When I was young, I was told I looked like Kyle MacLachlan (although not as handsome): [https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/8b/ef/28/8bef285a36cf42f2c268865a2ed30cab.jpg](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/8b/ef/28/8bef285a36cf42f2c268865a2ed30cab.jpg)

These days, I take more after Louis C.K. (although better-looking): [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Louis\_CK\_2012\_Shankbone.JPG](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Louis_CK_2012_Shankbone.JPG)

Right now, tan and with longer hair I was recently told I look a lot like Omar Sharif. The celebslikeme link tends to think more Dennis Farina (54%) with some John Cleese and Patrick Duffy thrown in for good measure.

I’m torn between being somewhat pleased, and depressed that half the dudes I look like are dead.

That site told me I look like [Kareena Kapoor](http://data1.ibtimes.co.in/en/full/586321/kareena-kapoor-khan.jpg), which I don’t really see, myself, but it’s not wildly off-base. We both have dark hair, a square face, square jaw. The only other celebrity I’ve been told I resemble is an older, heavier Kylie Jenner, so I’ll stick with Kareena, tyvm.

When I was younger I was told I looked like him. Now that he’s decomposing, I look more like him.

I have been told for years that I look a lot like Barbra Streisand. I can see it too but nowadays, my hair is red instead of my natural dark blonde, so I don’t hear it as much.

There’s a Facebook group just for people who have appeared on “Jeopardy!” One member asked, “Who did viewers say you looked like after your appearance?”

As far as I knew, I never made any impression on anyone. I said nobody had compared me to anyone. Another member said, “Google it a bit, and I guarantee that people compared you to some celebrity. But don’t Google it unless you’re prepared for some unpleasant comparisons.”

I should have listened. I looked at some Jeopardy! fan websites, and found I was being compared to… CHRIS FREAKING FARLEY???

When I was young, people often compared me to Dan Aykroyd. But come on, I’m 6’4" and only 230 pounds. I’m not THAT fat!!!  
Of course, I shouldn’t complain. I know a very attractive, tall, slender Jewish woman who was on the show… and she says some viewers compared her to Geddy Lee and Howard Stern!!!

At 20, like Mick Jagger at 20. Not so much anymore.

When I wore my hair longer and had my contact lenses in, I looked like Nigel Terry in “Excalibur.” But heavier.

Many have commented on my startling resemblance to:

When I sport the shaved-head-and-goatee look, people tell me I look a lot like Bryan Cranston as Walter White. When _Breaking Bad_ was wrapping up and everyone was talking about it, I got stopped routinely by people telling me I looked like Walter. I’ve only seen a couple episodes of the show, but I see the resemblance. I briefly considered trying to cash in on the resemblance as a celebrity impersonator, but I never went forward with the idea. I don’t shave my head anymore, and the resemblance is gone now.

Computer said Julian Sands. That is very very wrong. More like Vladimir Kulich.

Of course I look just exactly like Marilyn Monroe!!

I have very blond/silver hair and beauty mark. That’s really all I got that’s comparable. I can dream all I want, thank you very much!
