    If we are talking about avatars, I'll betcha that UC has been thought of as looking like Alfred E. Neuman.

      At least you're not saying he looks like Harriet.

        When David Hartman was co-host of Good Morning, America people used to approach me thinking I was David. Or, they couldn't remember his name, but they would say that I reminded them of some famous person and I would say David Hartman and their eyes would light up and they would say, "Yeah, that's him!"

          So do you go around saying "Beef, it's what's for dinner?"

            On occasion I do use the last three words. Usually followed by a trip to the ER.

              I don't know if this counts but, my sister while in a grocery store once mistook John Denver for me. He laughed and was very nice about it.

              Now I'm just mistaken for a geezer.

                A couple of my friends swear I look like Eric Bana as Henry the 8th. I personally think I look more like Russell Crowe in 3:10 to Yuma, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

                  Long time ago

                  Back when both Jack Scalia and I wore our hair long and wavy (and were quite a few years younger)... there were many a times when I was stopped and asked if I were he. I'm guessing his career has been a wee bit more financially successful than mine!!!

                  Oh well... I won't complain about my life. I've got the most wonderful wife in the world and three great kids. I hope Jack has done as well for himself!
                  Happy to have all 9 1/2 fingers!

                      Many times I've been told I could easily pass for the brother of Bob Newhart. I guess there is somewhat of a resemblance.

                        Some years ago, there was a man who bore a resemblance to Johnny Cash. On a business trip out West, he was sipping a brew in the hotel bar when a man came up to him and asked for his autograph. He said "I'm not Johnny Cash" and sent the guy away.

                        A while later, another guy came up. A little irritated now, he brushed the guy off.

                        When the third guy came up, the man yelled "I AM NOT JOHNNY CASH" and stopped off to his room.

                        A little bit later, there was a tap on his door. He answered the door to find two young women wearing revealing clothing. One cooed "hi, Johnny". The man smiled and started singing "I hear the train a-comin..."

                          uh, yeah, he looks a little pale, and people keep saying he just doesn't look like himself

                            I was once mistaken Kiefer Sutherland. I suspect alcohol was involved.

                            I do get asked frequently if I'm related to Michael Phelps. I just say he's my brother; we're many years apart. All true but my brother Mike is years older and a landscaper.

                              I've been told I look a lot like Chewbacca, but frankly, I don't see the resemblance... Probably just a wookiee mistake...
