I’ve been told by at least three people that i look like Ewan McGregor. Last year one of my students wrote even on a teacher evaluation that i had “the most incredible resemblance to Obi Wan Kenobe,” and i don’t think the student had Alec Guinness in mind. Persoanlly, i look in the mirror, and it’s not Ewan McGregor i see. Don’t get me wrong, i’d be quite happy to look like him. But i don’t. But then again, i don’t think i look like any other famous actors either, so i guess i’d give McGregor the part. I like a lot of his work. ---

> [@Licentious Ectomorph](#): > > How’re YOU doin’? 😉 And therein lies the problem. I tell people that, and some people assume i must be pretty hot, but it just ain’t so. Don’t get me wrong; i’m no John Merrick either. But i have a realistic sense of my own attractiveness, and Ewan McGregor i’m not. ---

John Cussack - Playing a more sarcastic combination of Rob Gordon (High Fidelity) and Martin (Gross Point) Blank who occassionally drinks too much… …which now that I think about it would make him Edward Burns. ---
