I don’t look like anyone; not anymore. Still, I’ve grown accustomed to the skin I’m in and i honestly don’t mind shaving who i think is cool, even if other people think, “oh, _dramatic-pause_ that’s just average.” > [@dada2fish](#): > > I’ve gotten: > Jamie Lee Curtis > Helen Hunt > Terry Garr > Bonnie Bedelia > Melissa Etheridge > Lisa Kudrow For very different reasons, I’ve honestly liked every single one of those women. For obvious reasons, I’m sure absolutely NONE of them would ever like me, even if I was covered in chocolate, bearer-bonds, and Thousand Dollar Bills. Promise us all that you will do Something important with your ‘good looks’. If you look that good but squander it foolishly, I’d have to hate you with a passionate heat usually reserved for re-lighting the dying suns of massively populated solar systems… ---

More than once was told I resembled William Hurt. Probably a considerable compliment to me, and insult to him. In some pictures I saw the resemblance. Moreso back in the 80s. Now, I look like every other old man. In other words - invisible! ---

I have to take it back. I was told once that I looked like Bronson Pinchot. I didn’t take it as a compliment then but I would now. He seems to be [aging very well](http://www.hippoquotes.com/img/bronson-pinchot-quotes/Bronnie-P_thumb.jpg). I never saw it myself. ---

People say I look a bit like Brian Cranston as Walter White (but really, anyone bald, with glasses and a beard does) ---

I just looked at my old library card, when I had a mustache and packed a few more pounds – that was my Wilford Brimley period. ---

No one. For kicks, I loaded some pics into a few of those “Celebs like Me” sites and I matched (39-40% so barely), with several exotic, non-Caucasian actresses. That is HILARIOUS, because I am no where NEAR exotic, and am so white I practically glow in the dark. ---

Back when my hair and goatee were all black, several people called me “Evil Spock.” Now that I’m deep into my salt-n-peppa phase, I occasionally get compared to The Most Interesting Man In The World. Edit: NOT that I’m claiming to be interesting! Just because of the look. ---

> [@Maastricht](#): > > Meryl Streep, in my twenties. But my nose kept growing and now I look like Meryl Streep with a - umm- nose full of character. All of my character is in my nose, now. So you’re saying you look like Pinocchio now? ---

_Dead_ ringer for David Carradine. I get it here in the US, but in Asia, its worse. I guess Kung Fu was a big hit there. One time at the airport in Taiwan, the head of security pulled me out of the immigration line and asked me something like, “Mr Carradine, what brings you to Taiwan?” He wasn’t thrilled when I showed him my passport, but at least I didn’t have to wait in that long line! ---

I had a few people say I look like Joan Baez . I was met some of my ex husband and the husband said I looked like Joan Baez and got all excited ,his wife got upset . I guess the husband really liked Joan Baez. ---

Back in my 20’s I resembled Weird Al. About a year ago, a youngster told me, “You look like George Lucas.” Thinking he was referring to the 1980’s George Lucas, I just smiled and said “Thanks.” I did a Google image search for Mr. Lucas, and much to my consternation, he wasn’t referring to the 1980s version. He was comparing me to a modern George Lucas, and he was right. ---

When I was much, much younger, and had both long hair and a beard, I got “Vincent from _Beauty and the Beast_” a few times. ([Um, thanks?](http://www.blastr.com/sites/blastr/files/images/assets_c/2011/09/BeautyandtheBeastVincentRonPerlman-thumb-330x220-71029.jpg)) But ever since I was a young man, I’ve been told I’m a dead ringer for Stephen King.
