Picture George Clooney in his prime, right around the time ER was popular. I’ve been told I look nothing like that. ---

My daughter tellls me I look kinda like Walter White _BEFORE_ he started chemo. At work there’s a guy who looks like Ron Jeremy, another who looks like King Tut (as porttrayed by Victor Buono on _Batman_), a woman who reminds me of Geena Davis, and another woman who could be Will Ferrell’s sister. Or his cousin. Or him, in drag. ---

Dan Aykroyd and Jonathan Silverman, one of the two shmoes in _Weekend at Bernies_. When Silverman was in one of the failed post-_Friends_ 8:30 shows, The Single Guy, I got it a lot. ---

My wife thinks I look like Jerry Garcia (except I have pony tail, and I’m still alive AFAICT), but when I saw Richard Dreyfus in _Nuts_, I said to myself, “I don’t recall making a movie.” ---

According to [CelebsLikeMe](https://www.celebslike.me/), Peter Jackson. According to my wife, they asked Robert Downey Jr to play Iron Man because I wasn’t available. I’ve also been tagged as a skinny Judge Lance Ito during the OJ trial days. ---

I got a **Tom Cruise** once from some random old lady when I was delivering pizza in college. ---

I do a joke where I say I look like a cross between Charlie Sheen and Rowan Atkinson. Which, before I had a beard and Sheen lost a ton of weight, was true, at least except for the fact I’m taller than either man. Now I have a beard, which kills the resemblance to Atkinson, and Sheen is frighteningly skinny and suddenly looks way older than me, and that’s completely gone. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > None - really. When I’ve run a pic of me thru software that supposedly can tell you who you resemble, it pretty much always comes up as a balding, jowly man. OK, my hair is thinning and jowly isn’t too far off, but still, I’m a dainty flower of womanhood, dammit! 😃 I get similar results from those apps that claim to show you which celebrity you resemble. I am female, 60-plus, with graying but not thinning hair, and I wear glasses. Some gadget that was on Facebook thinks I most resemble [Truman Capote](https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/99n_36_huty_13303_28.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=978&h=652&crop=1).

I think everyone in the world agrees that I look like [Sarah Silverman](http://www.self.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/sarah-silverman-870-820x518.jpg). I’ve also gotten [Mila Kunis](http://www.theplace2.ru/photos/Mila-Kunis-md761/) quite a few times. ---

When I was in college, I was called “Gilligan” by some guys who thought I resembled Bob Denver. A few years later, a co-worker called me “beatnik”, but I don’t know if it was because he thought I looked like Denver’s Maynard G. Krebs character or just because I had (and still have) a somewhat unruly little beard. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-celebrity-do-you-closely-resemble/758087.md?page=3)
