My coworker looks like Jeremey Renner, and he actually took it as a compliment. ---

Woody Harrelson, Bruce Willis, Partrick Stewart. See a trend? ---

Decades ago, a friend told me I reminded him of Jack Nicholson. Mostly attitude, I think, but there was some resemblance. ---

When I was younger, I looked like a President’s son. That was not welcome by myself in the least because I’ve read all about famous people and what nuts do to them sometimes. Note the REAL President’s son would have body guards - I did not! Anyway I did what I could to not look that way (as I am sure the real Presidents son did as well!) ---

I don’t look exactly like Kathy Bates, but we resemble each other, and could be sisters. I’d want her to play me if a movie(hah!) was ever made about my life. ---

Back in the 1980s, people would say I looked like Harrison Ford whenever I took off my glasses. I could sort of see it, but these days we’ve definitely parted ways. My father ended up looking pretty much like Jack Lemmon in later years, although he didn’t resemble him in the slightest as a younger man. ---

Ed Helms. People in my classes point it out often enough that I keep a side-by-side photo handy on my laptop. When someone says “Hey, know who you look like??” I shush them and just pull up the pic. My wife looks like Jennifer Garner, enough so that strangers regularly point it out. ---

People have told me I look like Ben Affleck, but I don’t see it myself. Edit: It doesn’t help that I remember the _South Park_ episode all too well wherein they constantly referred to him having a butt-face. ---

When I do the shaved-head-and-goatee look, I get a lot of comments that I look like Brian Cranston as Walter White. I’m 43, so a little younger than him, but I have similar features, wrinkles, and glasses. When the show was wrapping up and everyone was talking about it, I got “Walter White!” comments every couple of days. Now that I’ve let my hair grow out a little, the resemblance is gone. ---

I don’t look like anyone, but I’ve been told on three separate ooccasion that I _sound_ like Kermit the Frog. ---

Years ago when I had long hair, some friends found an old copy of _Rolling Stone_ with Alice Cooper on the cover. Even I had to admit it looked like me. They scanned it into a computer (cutting-edge tech at the time), changed his name to mine, and printed it. I had it framed. [Alice](http://www.glenbuxton.com/collection/magazine/rs_ac02.jpg) My hair is shorter now, and I have a goatee, but I can still see the resemblance.
