[Here is a picture of King Edward IV of England.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Edward_IV) Who does he remind you of? He reminds ME of someone, very distinctly - I just can’t put my finger on who it is. A celebrity - somebody famous and recognizable. [Here is another picture of him](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_IV_Plantagenet.jpg), this one much more detailed. Who does he look like to you? I keep looking at his face and being vividly reminded of a certain actor, but for the life of me I can’t remember who it is? He has this very distinct look - a perfectly-concave nose with a fine point; a very small mouth; narrow eyes; and just the slightest hint of a double chin. I feel like there’s someone else who is well known that looks EXACTLY like this, but I can’t figure it out!! ---

Old or young? Comedian, leading man, current or old timey? To me, he vaguely resembles [Todd Louiso](http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/files/2008/09/louiso.jpg) from _High Fidelity_ (just not in that photo. At all). Actually… he looks like a lot of white guys, really. ---

He reminds me of [William Sanderson](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0761836/) (Larry, of “Larry, my brother Darryl, and my other brother Darryl”). ---

Look at the second picture. There’s something specifically about his nose. (To me, the nose is basically the most defining feature of the face.) There are only a few men that I can think of whose nose has such a perfect inward curve and comes to such a fine point. It’s a very rare facial feature, in my opinion. (Except in cartoons and comics, because it’s extremely simple to draw.) One such guy is British actor [Nicholas Young](http://www.the-mausoleum-club.org.uk/timescreen/Trial%2011/tp39.jpg) from “The Tomorrow People.” The other is [John David Carson](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_David_Carson) (who looks almost exactly like the first guy.) John Lithgow is a pretty accurate comparison but I’m thinking of someone younger. ---

The first one reminded me of [Greg Grunberg](http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20070916/293.grunberg.greg.fm.091607.jpg). The second was a dead ringer for John Lithgow. Stephen Fry was a good lookalike, too. ---

Holy smokes. That second picture is an absolutely dead-on “separated at birth” resemblance to our (female) office manager. Same hair and everything. She is a wonderful lady and we treat her like royalty 😃 I just put that picture side-by-side with her photo from our office directory and showed it to my coworker who concurs. ---
