Do you have a lookalike?

At a party, a high school kid told me I looked a lot like a girl in his class... He actually asked me if I had a younger sister who went to such-and-such a school.

*shrug* Other than that, I've never heard of having a look-alike. Except maybe my Uncle Robert. He died before I was born, but my grandparents always tell me I'm so much like him in appearance and mannerisms...

I wonder what Uncle Robert would think if he found out he apparently looked like an unnamed school girl.

I've been told that my daughter looks just like me, but with different coloring.

Other than that...no, I don't think so.

Peter Rabbit, maybe?

Some years ago I heard of a film from a friend who claimed that one of the actors strongly resembled me. I didn't give it much thought until a couple of years later when my brother said the same thing. Curious, I rented the video and was truly blown away by the resemblance. Not only did he look like me, but the actor's voice and mannerisms were nearly identical to mine.

It was astonishing yet very creepy, and I stopped watching the film after only a few scenes.

And no, it wasn't Brad Pitt. I wish!

I know who it was, SK. I know.

That's close, except with a little less orange and a little more Al Pacino.

Was it Tom Skerritt?

Been a dead ringer for Barry Gibb all my younger life and I look exactly like him to this day. Got me in trouble at the Playboy club in Century City when I accepted a date from a bunny who that that I was he. She finally figured out that I had blue eyes, whereas Barry has brown. But that was at the end of the date, which was just fine with me.

No, but the actor was equally as handsome.

I haven't run across the person in another film since, which is just as well. He's probably aged better than I have by now.

No, but my sister and I sound exactly the same.

I've been told I look like Jenny Garth by more than one person. Of course, I've also been compared to Vicky Lawrence. I'm gonna go with Jenny.

When I was young I looked like John Ritter. Once, on Broadway, after the shows let out, a bunch of tourists surrounded me and made me sign their Playbills.

When he died my first thought was "Those people think I'm dead"

Can you sing like him?

I don't look like anyone in my family.

Someone once asked me if anyone had ever told me I looked like John Stamos.

John.

Stamos.

I don't know if I should have been insulted or if John Stamos should've been. (I'm thinking it's because this was back when Stamos was oh-so-pretty because no one has EVER confused me for a guy. EVER.)


Oh, and someone once told me I looked like Brooke Shields. At least he had the gender right.

I wasn't going to mention this earlier, but what the hell:

When I began watching the film I mentioned earlier, as soon as the actor whom I resemble appeared, my wife started laughing. She wasn't making fun of me or anything. She was genuinely surprised and started cracking up, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

I couldn't believe it either. As she laughed and laughed, I sat there dumbfounded and feeling sick to my stomach for some reason.

I switched off the VCR and said said something like, "Yeah, that guy sure looks like me all right."

It was unsettling and surreal.

The following day, before I returned the tape, my wife talked me into playing the opening scene for our two oldest children, who were five and three years old at the time.

As soon as my clone walked onto the set, both of them screamed, "Daddy!"

They appeared as surprised as I was at the resemblance.

My brother. The dean of my college was giving a lecture to a group of high school students and spotted my brother (whom she did not know). She said, "You have to be backslashbaby's brother" in front of everyone. Yep, we look that much alike

Except he tans crazy-dark and works on a river, so we are completely different colors. Oh, and I'm a girl His hair is longer, though.

I look exactly like my clone.

It's uncanny, really...

I don't really resemble my clone any more. That guy went to the gym for 6 months, so, yeah... I feel kind of bad now.

Like, what if I'm the wrong clone?

Weird.
