And the beard is making him look even more like Orson Welles as he got older.

Years ago, I used to get told that I looked like Mark McGuire, ex St. Louis Cardinal.
Other than being tall, red hair and a beard, I don't see it, not even a bit.  Brother, maybe, Cousin yea, but him, I don't see it.

I look amazingly like Aidan Quinn.  I know, "who?"  Back in the 80s, when he starred in Desparately Seeking Susan I had a long stretch of women throwing themselves at me because they thought i was him.  Sadly, I hadn't seen the movie and didn't know who he was so I never took advantage of my mysterious good fortune. Dammit.

I am Z level famous….but people usually say “aren’t you that actor guy?”  They don’t know my name.


I do resemble someone that is fairly well known (but not what people would call a celebrity) people here would certainly know.  I occasionally get asked if I am that guy.  

I was having lunch with a member here some time back and the waiter started with the “if you don’t mind me asking, are you….”  And as he started asking inside I was having that “cool, I am going to be recognized…with my friend as a witness” and then he said the name of the other guy.  Hahaha. No luck.

The only time I actually feel famous is if I am doing an appearance (like at an event or comic con) because you have gathered the very few people that are fans into one place.

In LA, going out to “hot” places with really famous poeple and them introducing you by one of your projects is kinda a fame by proxy moment.

I have been confused for a lot of other people, some famous some not.  Growing up skateboarding and being decent at it and traveling I got comparisons to Tony Hawk and Bob Burnquist depending on my haircut.  At times I could see a bit of a resemblance to Tony.  Had a woman lose it at a Kmart thinking I was some famous actor, she couldn't remember the name but had just been watching one of "my" movies.  When I told her I was a nobody, she seemed to think I was lying.  Yes she was smoking hot but married.  When I was younger women thought I was one of the brothers from the band Jesus and Mary Chain.  Not the singer, but the other one.  Thinking that was a hairstyle thing too.  

As for non famous people, I'm confused for a lot of other surfers, a local school teacher, various doctors both here and on the mainland, even so far as to ask if I was the doctor who delivered their son.  In high school I had a girl come up and hug me and start kissing me, thought I was her boyfriend.  I joke that I have that generic white guy look that's all the rage nowadays.  Still right in my college weight range 30 years later and a surfer physique so that probably helps.  I havent watched tv or movies for decades so I'm clueless about what people are watching and if I resemble anyone.  Just recently looked up the Jesus and Mary Chain guy and saw that yeah, back in the day with a certain haircut I could be mistaken for him, but at the time I had no idea what he looked like, the pictures on the CD I had from them were too dark and distorted.

Not reading in 3 pages to say some guys at Guitar Center in Tulsa still think they met Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains

They even wanted cell phone pics with me

No shit

I had finished mowing the lawn, got in the shower and washed my hair. Left my hair down to dry and went to get some guitar strings for my son who was going to college out of town

I got strings, paid for them and was wandering around the store on a Sunday afternoon,  looked up and realized almost the whole store was following me aisle to aisle

I thought THEY  thought I had shoplifted something so I spoke to the one trying to ignore me and told him I didn't have anything in my pockets and he could check if he wanted

The poor guy about fainted stammering "oh no, Mr. Cantrell. We re so honored to have you here"

Apparently AIC was in town staying at a swanky hotel just down the street from Guitar Center and thought Cantrell had walked in

Late 90s-early 2000s I'd get either The Nanny or Shania.  Later years there was one girl who swore I was a brunette Katherine Heigl.  

I don't know why there is a tendency for hair/eye color and general style to outweigh actual similarity of features but everybody does it.  

Swingset is a dead ringer for Mike O'Malley (or was at one time).  And there is a member here who could absolutely be mistaken for Matt Damon (or could at one time).

About 25 years back my BIL was the spitting image of Chris Elliot.  On our mantle we use to have a group family pic we took the last day of vacation.  Several friends have looked at that pic and asked us why Chris Elliot was in our family pic.
BIL fucking hated it.  He said he was always getting asked for autographs, random strangers wanting to talk about his movies, asking how to get in the business, etc.  He said hot women never threw themselves at him though.

25 years later and he’s starting to look more like Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now.
