Basically a thread for when you've been compared to someone famous (or infamous).

Yesterday I got compared to Zach Galifianakis, which was a first.

(Usually I get compared to Rin Tin Tin, so I'm hoping this is a step up. ;-)

My dad says that when he was in the army, stationed in Europe he would get compared to Louis Jourdan. Looking at pictures of him from that time I can see it, although his face is wider than Jourdan's.

Mrs. ScottN and I were in Vegas back in the mid-90s. Somebody told me I looked like Don Mattingly (back when he had his mustache).

I've been told I look like David Warner. The Time After Time or Star Trek V version, I hope. Not the "Chain of Command" one.

Back when my hair was brown and not salt and pepper as it is now, I was told, at my previous job, that I looked like John Ritter/Jack Tripper.
Now one of my nicknames at my present job is 'Richard Gere'. Odd, since my hair has always been longer than Gere ever wore it.

About 15 years ago in Vegas, I was told that I looked like Don Mattingly...

Last weekend, I was told that I looked like Jack Nicholson. Go figure.

Before I grew the beard, I looked a bit like Country singer George Jones.

Has anybody here experienced a case of mistaken identity, and been told by a stranger that they look exactly like someone this stranger knows?
Not a celebrity, just an average joe? It's happened to me about three times. Once on a bus where a woman stared at me and finally asked me if I was so-and-so; years later a friend from West Virginia told me that I was the splitting image of a jerk he used to know in school (um...thank you?), and a third time I forget, but I know there was at least one other time.
They say we all have a twin out there.
How about you?

Earlier this month, I was told that I look like the Mypillow guy. I don't think I've ever been that insulted before.

I can feel your pain ScottN, I get mistaken for Santa Claus far too often.

I find it amusing to confuse the rugrats by telling them about the south pole workshop.

( Sometimes I can be easily amused.)

Uh, Santa Claus does not exist.

Doesn't mean a little kid can't mistake John for the real thing.
AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN SANTA CLAUS DOESN'T EXIST??????!!!!
He exists as much as my best friend Charlie Brown does!!!

Steve, I don't have any problems with the kids- it's the parents who drag them over to talk to Santa Claus that bother me.

Tim- if Santa Claus doesn't exist how can people mistake me for him??

Yes, Tim, there is a Santa Claus.

Anyone been mistaken for the Great Pumpkin or the Easter Bunny
