Hello.  I'm _Jim_ Ameche.

[hugman]

I GOT MR. BEAN ON MONDAY! STOKED!!!
 

[DoodleJump!]

someone told ME I look like MITCH HEDBURG!
I did not take this too well. First off, I'm a gal.

God, I just remembered that a college friend compared the shape of my head to H.P. Lovecraft's:



In fairness, I do have a weird, oblong head.  But, come on!

[iAmBaronVonTito]

i hardly ever see people who look like other well-known people.  in high school, there was an over abundance of this, but now...i only see people who look like other people i know. 

again, with the exception of myself, who looks like no one but has been compared to janeane garafolo or daria in the personality dept more than once.

This isn't quite the same thing, but there's a guy at my school whose hair is apparently very similar to mine. His friends keep coming up behind me and yelling or jumping on my shoulders and then getting really embarrassed when they realize I am not him.

It's too funny for me to be annoyed.

For years, I would get Jason Biggs, which is I *guess* alright, but every once in a while, I'd get "a fat Adam Sandler."  Hey, fuck you, dude.

Around the time I turned 30, people started looking like people I'd met before.

Life went into repeats.

this happened in college once. I was walking into a building and a girl ran up and swatted me on the ass. hard. I turned around and she melted with embarrassment realizing I wasn't who she thought I was. She apologized profusely, but I DIDN'T MIND.......

I've been victimized by a non-celebrity look-alike for almost 15 years now.

All through high school, I was told I looked like a kid named Jeremy, who went to another nearby school.  Several different people pointed this out to me.  None of them seemed to know each other, but this Jeremy and I have roughly a dozen friends in common.  Somebody else just brought it up the other day, and it occurred to me that he and I have still never met. 

I wonder if people tell him that he looks like me.  They'd damn well better.

[AaronC]

I had a Best Show moment the other day.  A lady working at Panera Bread told me I looked like John Cusack.   

[ChrisRawk]

Tom had a bit about this some months back, riffing on how insulting most of those comparisons are.  Over the weekend, I finally got my own:

"You know who you'd look like if you had less hair?  George Costanza."

Gee, thanks.  Made my fucking weekend.

I actually got George Costanza too once.  So I feel your pain here. 

Some other ones I've gotten...Jim Belushi (this one REALLY hurt), John Belushi (oddly I didn't mind this one), Mark Ruffalo, Jimmy Kimmel, and TV food critic Adam Richman from MAN VS. FOOD. 

I've also been told I sound like Michael Douglass and Charlie Sheen.  So apparently I talk like the movie WALL STREET.

Many years ago, when I was still a ne'er-do-well skulking about central Jersey, I found that a dear friend who had been living in Europe for the previous two years had come back to NJ. As I entered the place where we were all meeting for our grand reunion, I asked the first person I saw if "Paul" had arrived. "Yeah, he's in the next room," I was told. I entered the room and saw his trademark haircut and platinum blonde hair over the back of the chair he was sitting in. So I snuck up behind him and punched him in the head (as we were wont to do to each other back then).

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that what looked like bright blonde hair in that dim light was actually gray hair, and that I had punched my friend's father in the head.
