    So they say for every person, there's likely a stranger somewhere that looks identical. Identical enough to fool your family even from a short distance. When presidents get elected (in pretty much every country I understand it) they look for that guy and offer him a job as a stand in.

    So who do you look like? I'm sure there'll be some great answers to this one.

    I'll go first. Was watching "Homeland" (it's a great show) and learned that I look just like Mandy Patinkin. Color my hair gray and give me the glasses and it's a spitting image. But it's really the beard that does it. The younger pictures of him shaven, we look nothing alike. Go figure.

    When I was younger, I used get told all the time I could be confused for Jim Carey (unfortunately).

    Some of my more animated Lance Corporals and PFC's used to make comments about "now we know what Fire Marshall Bill would be like as a Marine NCO"...the little shits. I'd have them splicing 26pair cable for a few hours, or digging a machine pit behind the shop when they got too boisterous about it. ("Oh Yeah? Fire Marshall Bill is going hook your non-rate ass up. Go get a shovel from the frontier kit of that humvee. You got time to wonder, you got time to work. Start digging.")
     
    I get mistaken for Law Enforcement often . At my sister in law's wedding ( she and he are cops ) it was the same . One guest , a Philly cop asked if I had taken some training yet and I relayed nope not a cop . Our table were all in disbelief . My wife who had had one to many glasses of wine responded that he gets that all the time .
    It's because he looks like and uptight dick ..

    Got a Doppelganger in the Russian Navy somewhere. I guess this guy is a dead ringer for me. My best friend from childhood thru adulthood went Navy while i went Big Green and he happened across this guy why on a port call somewhere in the Pacific. Threw him for a loop and he was so convinced it was me he had to go up to the table of Russian sailors and ask why the fuck I was there and dressed in a Russian sailor uniform. Turns out my doppelganger doesn't speak English and he figured it out after short order. Next time I saw my buddy he said it was eerie how much this guy looked exactly like me and it took a lot of convincing to finally believe I hadn't gone off and joined the Russian Navy.

    Buddy Hackett. Or maybe Carmen Electra
     
    A few people have told me I look like Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition. My wife, ever the smart-ass says I look more like Forest Gump.

    I was in the Army when Forrest Gump was playing in theatres. I caught a lot of flack about it back then. A few years ago, my employer was asking people to bring in photos of themselves in uniform. My manager saw the picture in the display and commented about some smart-ass bringing in a picture of Forrest Gump - then he saw the nameplate on my class A uniform.
     
    Ah, this was great. You guys come up with some amazing shit. David Koresh indeed.

    I'll probably regret this too, but I got the idea when I paused Homeland to take a shit and looked in the mirror and he and I were making the same face! For some reason I didn't look like Ignio Montoya when I was younger but I bet we got the same amount of ass.
